Tips on Moving to Germany (Education and Citizenship)?

Unless you are a German or other EU citizen it is very hard to move to Germany.

You need a resident permit and a work visa both a lot harder to get than a US green card.

To become a German citizen you need to be a legal resident for 8 years and pass immigration test after this. During this 8 years you should never depend on welfare nor receive any support from the state also you should have no criminal record.

If you come to Germany with a student visa the time you spend in Germany for studies does not count for the necessary 8 years if you later intend to become a German citizen.

If you finish studies in Germany you will after graduating have 6 months to find a job. If you do find a job in these 6 months you can apply to be a permanent resident and the count of the 8 years starts.

If you marry a German citizen you get a permanent resident permit easier but you still need to pass the immigration test to become a German citizen.

Married to a German you can apply to pass the test earliest after 3 years of marriage.

The first thing you need to establish is if studying in Germany counts towards the eligibility period for citizenship - some EU countries don't people on student visas to apply for permanent residence or citizenship.

Germany doesn't allow dual citizenship for naturalised citizens unless they're already citizens of another EU member state - you may not consider this a big deal at the moment but if you have family in your home country or things didn't work long term, renouncing citizenship of the country of your birth may not be a good idea.

well to get the visa is quite easy just go to the next German consulate and offer your body to the people there spread legs and buttocks and let all of them mount and pound you in all holes
