Step by Step: The German Residence Permit, Permanent Residency and Citizenship: How many Years?🇩🇪

[@BharatinGermany]

YES! Students get PERMANENT RESIDENCY in 2 Years (WITHOUT MINIMUM SALARY REQUIREMENTS) in Germany after doing their Studies here. You can read it on the official Government website of the city of Berlin here: www.berlin.de/labo/willkommen-in-berlin/dienstleistungen/service.245678.php/dienstleistung/326558/standort/121885/ If you haven't yet downloaded the FREE PDF, Basic Admission Requirements for Studying in Germany, you can do that here: bharatingermany.com/basic-admission-requirements/

Hi Bharat, what is not covered in the video is:- if aufenthaltstitel is issued on the basis of section 19c of residence act (PhD students with work contract), then that person becomes eligible for niederlasungserlaubnis after 3 years (provided that language and other requirements are fulfilled). This is for students coming from 'friendly nations' as mentioned in below comment.

[@BharatinGermany]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ranitde3238]

I think PhD student with employment contract gets their visa/residence permit under 18d of residence act and they can apply for settlement permit after 4 years (if B1 German proficiency is achieved). 19c is something else. It's for nationals coming from friendly nations of Germany. www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa/living-permanently-in-germany/settlement-permit www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa/kinds-of-visa/research

So, if I come to Germany with a student visa then after a month can I apply for residence permit?

[@jay.jay.]

Yes, you have to, otherwise your visa you come to Germany with will expire anyway after a few months. So the Ausländerbehehörde will send an invitation letter to apply for residence permit before the student visa expires. At first they give you the residence permit for one year (usually), then for 2 years. This is a temporary residence permit for the duration of your studies. If you then after graduation find a field related job you can apply for the permanent residence permit after just 2 years.
