-Germany is one of the most desirable places in the world
-High quality of life, good health care, low unemployment rate and strong economy
-Easy to Immigrate for EU citizens, but hard for non-EU citizens
-How can non-EU citizens move to Germany?
01:04 EU citizens
-If you are an EU citizen you have free access to the German job market and business structure with the same rights as German nationals
-You can just come and sort your stay in Germany
01:47 Non-EU Citizens
-There are many ways non-EU citizens can move to Germany
-You can come as a student, if you find a job, if your spouse in German.
-In this video we are going to cover 3 ways in which you can move to Germany as an non-EU citizen.
-Even if you are a non-EU citizen your options will depend on your country of citizenship
02:31 1st option:
If you are citizen of US, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and a few other countries
-If you are a citizen of one of these countries, getting a job and a residence permit will be much easier.
-You can effectively come to Germany first without a visa, and look for a job. If you find a job in Germany you will take the job contract and other requirements, and apply for a residence permit.
-You do not need to go back to your country of origin to apply for a visa in this case.
03:20 2nd option
EU Blue Card
The second option is the EU Blue Card
-The EU Blue Card is given to people which are highly skilled and have a high paying job offer.
-The most important requirement is that the salary you are offered is above a certain threshold.
-In 2021 the minimum annual gross salary should be of 57k EUR. If the job is in a high demand sector, you will be eligible with a salary of at least 45k EUR. Among the high demand sectors are: Mathematics, IT, Engineering, Medicine
-Either German degree of foreign recognized degree
-You can apply for permanent residency in Germany after living 3 years on an EU blue card, even 2 years if you meet some requirements like passing a German language test.
04:31 3 Option Becoming a student
-An option if you don’t speak German, and you aren’t high skilled or does not qualify for becoming a freelancer
-You can come to Germany to study German. If the German course has the minimum number of hours per week, you qualify for a residence permit
-After learning German and getting used to the German lifestyle, you can study a degree.
-Education in Germany is very affordable, and overall costs are incomparably cheaper than in the US, Canada or Australia
-You can work part time while studying in German
-If you are from the US, Canada, UK and a few other countries which are visa exempt to enter Germany you don’t need to apply for a visa beforehand, you can come to Germany, sign up for a German course and then apply for a residence permit.
06:05 4 Becoming a Self-employed
-You can become a self-employed person in Germany if you are a non-EU citizen
-There are two categories of self-employed persons: freelancers and entrepreneurs.
-The activities you will want to perform will determine whether you fall into the category of freelancer or self-employed person.
-Requirements are harder, you can’t just become a freelancer in any profession or with any qualification.
-You will need to show evidence that your profession and / or business idea is viable and is of economic interest in the region/area you want to apply for this type of residence permit.
08:01 Advantages
-Health Care
-Safety
-Transport
09:30 Disadvantages
-Cost of living
-Taxes

Hey guys! I got a job offer in Germany. However, I need to get my professional qualifications recognized in order to apply for the work permit. Has anyone recently submitted their vocational training to be recognized by the IHK Fosa? If so, how long was the processing time from when your application was received? Thanks :)

This Channel is very underrated. I love the straight forward information

How about if want to work to Germany as cleaners like free lancer,,,from Philippines, what papers need to provide,,,if there's someone can help to do work the papers?thanks for advance
Im currently studying aviation maintenance to eventually get my A&P license, which from my understanding pays well and is in demand, atleast in the US so hopefully ill be able to more easily get that blue permit you talked about
An aviation mechanic earns much more in the US than in almost all countries in Europe (and in the world).
im also an a&p and the only jobs you can get in germany are contracting for the military. most of the aircraft companies (in europe) use EASA rated mechanics and not faa rated mechanics
This is the First time i am hearing this Informations
Thank you
Good 1👌
Thanks a lot

I am a Fijian and intend to hire 3 German Scientists for my Private Laboratory on,
1) soil,
2) water,
3) plants and air.
What type of visa do I need?
It is good to have a 3rd opinion..
I have wanted to move two Germany for a long time. I contacted the consulate about 20 years ago asking about getting citizenship through ancestry. I feel this is rather unfair, as my dad was German but left after WWII. When he moved to Canada he was forced to renounce his citizenship, since I guess, people weren't to keen on having Germans from Germany in their country. The rules for citizenship through relatives only works if the relative is a current citizen. My dad is now dead. We also asked if he could get some compensation from the war, but he never pursued this. He was one of the young kids who had to walk ahead of the tanks looking for landmines. Needless to say, he had a lot of post war drama that never left him. Despite all that, I would love to move to German - it is a very beautiful country. So, do you know if any rules have changed the relate to my situation? I'm now nearly 60 and just place to retire.
The important thing here is to determine what was his citizenship at the time of your birth. Did he lose it before or after you were born?
Sir how can we get an appointment from German embassy I have applied for appointment 11 months ago.

Hello, excellent content. I'm retiring in three months, and I'm interested in moving to Germany. Any suggestions for an American coming there.
Thanks for information. Can you please able to make video on Czech Republic. I am currently studying here and planning to switch to Business Visa if everything went as planned. Is there any so called Innovator Visa as In the UK for Entrepreneurs. If so, It would be great for company start up,I am looking forward for your response. I just subscribed. Keep going ❤
I will make a video on Czechia! Maybe even a few of them!
@@traveleconomics ❤ Thanks a lot.
If you wish to avoid some of the taxes maybe it would be possible to rotate every 3 months between Schwegen and non EU European countries or something like that? :)
That doesn't really matter. Staying in a country for 3 months in a year usually does not trigger tax residency. What you have to do is establish yourself somewhere with low taxes, which will be your tax residency. Then you can travel to wherever you want. Most countries trigger tax residency when you spend more than 183 days per year on them (there are exceptions and many details, but that is the general rules)
hi plz can you tell me my father is german national living in uk with me i got residence permit eu family member can i get permanent residency or any quick way to settled there plz reply?
Great video. How can one apply to study the German language?

Man, can you make a video to non USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, or any other EASY MODE citizenship??
How can I make the process to go over there
I'm a writer, which would classify as free-lance. How would I present this as being of economic interest to the place I move to?
(aiming to be a published author by time I move, which won't be for a few years.)
This would be extremely difficult to prove unless you have a plan to hire local staff or you are writing for relevant companies from the country.

@traveleconomics idea?
Hi
I have two uncles and an aunt in Germany. Could I use one of them to immigrate to Germany? If so would my wife and kids be able to come with me? I'm currently in the process of getting ARRT certified to be a radiologic technologist. I don't know if I can use an American Registry of Radiologic Technology certification in Germany.
Usually having uncles living in one country does not help directly anyone to immigrate in legal terms. But if you find a reason to immigrate they could indirectly help you by providing support like housing and explaining how things work.
Can I study the German language in Germany and take a German exam after to get to the level that requires me to apply for a resident permit and to study in a university?
Yes
Sir i am working poland.. I have a schengan visa.. Can i move to germany i have sponser to gave a job there
How about for retirees with a stable pension and a bank account.
Thanks for your feedback.
Not available as far as I know. Only if you are an EU citizen. But there might be other options nearby that might interest you.
U may apply for d7 visa for portugal.if u got passive income you have to do some research. If you have a will there is a way. Best of luck!
aren't there a lot of universities in German that are free?
If i go to school in germany do i get to stay all year round or would i have to come back to the US?
you can stay in Germany if you go to school there.
What if you have passive income that is sufficient to sustain yourself?
In Germany there is no passive income residence permit. If you are an EU/EEA citizen you can do it though.
Please how can a foreigner join the German military please can you do a video on it
They dnt recruit Foreigners in the Army
It was one of the most tremendous videos that i have seen regarding life in German. but my question is if i go there by a visa Education can i drop out the study and get into job after expiring my visa?
if a company is willing to sponsor your work visa, you can stay based on that. If you drop out without having a company willing to sponsor your stay (or finding some other legally valid reason to stay), you will not have grounds to renew your residency in the country.
@@traveleconomics thnaks well received!!!! i am appreciative
What if we are old and want to become a student??
Hi,I want to move to germany but i speak only english which city is the best to live and work if you don't speak german
It depends on your situation, if you are an investor, if you want to retire, if you are looking for a job, etc. Life in Germany is quite unpleasant without speaking German. Maybe Berlin would be the best option.
Hello how are you doing my question is with Italian permanent residence can I work in Germany
yes but you will need a job contract or some activity first before you can apply for a temporary residence permit in Germany.
My grandmother immigrated from Germany during WW1, then Austria/Hungary.
Sorry if I missed this does ancestry help to facilitate residence?
It does not facilitate your residence but it may grant you the right to citizenship. Do you know her place of birth? Do you have some of her documents?
Great video! Can a US citizen who has a German mother ( and has her mothers key paperwork) apply for citizenship through ancestry from inside Germany ? Or must that happen in the German consulate in the US? For example, if they are in the country ( Germany) for language school- could the application begin while in Germany instead?
Any ideas about retirement to Germany from Australia? Thnx
Unless you have EU citizenship it is nearly impossible. Write me an email, there are some nearby countries where it is possible, we can discuss that.
How do I get to Germany?
I have completed diploma in electrical and electronics engineering and im a indian citizen can i come to Germany.now im applying job visa in ukrine any possibility to migrate to German
Myself and a friend have a job opportunity in germany and we are wondering what’s the best vida to go about applying for. We are both tattoo artists and the owners of the shop are more than willing to sponsor us
If the owner of the shop is willing to sponsor you he is the one who should go about providing the correct documents for your visa application.
@@traveleconomics thank you for your reply, I believe this is their first time employing foreigners so they are as unfamiliar as us
@@adriandominguez9867 They have to go to the Arbeitsamt and figure it out.
Hello can i ask a question i have a degree in nursing i want to work one of the hospital in germany how do i apply? Thank u for the reply
You need to see how to make your diploma valid in Germany and also pass the language test.
@@traveleconomics do u have any idea how to make my diploma valid? Like what are the links? Please and thank for reply
How we can apply for family reunion visa? Currently,I am doing my MBA in Germany and I have sufficient funds for my family.(spouse and baby)
MBA in which stream?
Are u a citizen? Or on a student visa because family reunification only applies to family of a German citizen , if u are a German citizen u should look into getting ur child German citizenship as well so ur spouse can come on a family reunification visa on the reason of caring for a minor German citizen.
How can I move to Germany???
Thanks for the info. My sister is married and lives in Germany . She has been there for about 13 years and has her Blue card. My daughter of 15 years has been invited to come stay with her Aunty and to do her schooling there and later to attend a college to become a nursing sister. just a quick question, as i am in South Africa she would need a visa ,what visa can i apply for to enter Germany, would it be a Study Visa or can i get a Tourist visa for 3 months. The other question is as a brother of a German Citizen with a Blue card can I apply to stay and work in Germany? Thanking you.
having a brother with citizenship unless the citizenship is derived from your parents will not bring direct advantages to your goal.
5:05 Where is this place?
somewhere in South Bavaria or South Baden Wurttenberg
I live in Ethiopia and I have Germany citizen son and I asking the Germany visa but still not give me
Sounds good - will you do a video, on the Czech Republic, France, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium etc ? :)
Czech Rep. definitely. The others maybe :)

How can a Nigerian move to germany?
Hello! I am hoping to move to Germany from Canada. BUT I have school aged children and a retired mom who would come with me. I know we can go to Germany without a visa, and I could sign up for a german language course while I'm there. What about the children? Would I be able to register them for elementary school? They are already in a german/english program in Canada. (with teachers from Germany)
Thought i'd ask the question here :D
~Jj
You have a job here - no problem. It is like the other way around. I would not be welcome in Canada, if I have no way to sustain myself, no job. Children are more of a plus for all countries with low recreation rate. If you can claim anchestry - it will be the easiest.

Answer this question plz
Iam currently fourth year student in Kenya can i get scholarship to study there
all the options dealt with getting a work permit, what if you are retired? I am retired, I am an artist on the side, I plan to do my art for the rest of my life, but I am not interested in finding a job. How would I qualify?
There is no retirement visa in Germany. Contact me to discuss other suitable options.
1. How are the German tax residents and citizens taxed on their non-German income sources (Does Hungary tax your worldwide income)? Does Germany have wealth tax?
2. Does Germany have a retiree residency visa program (for US citizens) for retirees tat do not need to work in Germany?
3. What is the best long-term visa type for US retirees who do not want to become a German tax resident?
Thank you,
If you live in Germany more than 6 months a year you are a German tax resident, there is no way around. There is no retirement visa either.
@@traveleconomics thank you.
Something is missing? For a person who has long term EU resident permit from another EU country, I checked the info it says can move to Germany with the resident permit,but I'm not so sure
You may be able to do it, but it is harder than if you are an EU citizen of another EU country and move to Germany.
@@traveleconomics yes,it is harder but still you can live and work within the eu "freely" such as Netherlands only required first year needs a work permit then everything else is same as EU citizens
And for a person is going to live there needs sufficient proof of income from host country
Does anyone know of programs that teach German to foreigners?
In VHS you can do it

Hi
I'm Godwin from Ghana, please I went for a Schengen visa interview and I was asked:
1 Are you traveling with someone? I said no
2 Purpose of travelling to Germany. I'm attending a trade congress
4 what is the congress about? I answered
Then she asked about my budget for purchasing some of the products... I answered, No as it was stated in my application but she was going back and forth with me, I stood by my words and she later said something that I couldn't get so I asked her to COME AGAIN and she said IS FINE without saying anything again, she scanned my Documents and gave my receipt to me
Please is that a RED FLAG?

Before Brexit my wife and I were considering moving to Germany when we retire. It seems at first glance this may no longer be possible. Do you know if there is any potential for a Visa to cover this? I have done my research and it seems like that door is closed at present.
You are right. There are no visa for retirees in Germany at the moment. There are other options though for UK citizens: retire in France close to the German border. Retire in Switzerland. Retire in Sudtirol (Italy) where German is spoken. Contact me if you want to discuss some ideas.

Good day, my name is Innocent Timothy from Nigeria and I am in need of your help for a way to get a job in Germany with a work visa sponsored by any company. Thanks.
if I have the financial means, does it make sense for a family of 4 to study in Germany (husband, wife & eldest will study) and my youngest stay at home... my wife & I can adjust our schedule so that one of us will be at home taking care of our youngest... we can learn the German language prior to coming to Germany
If you have the financial means and everyone involved has the desire to do it, I see no reason why not doing it.
Hi
How much financial means (property documents) or bank statment should I have to show in my bank to get student visa for language course, if require masters so we will do it and then settle in germany with 4 members (husband and wife with two kids) we are already have american degree along with 15 years of work experience from U.S and Gulf countries

My Gf lives in Berlin, and I've been there to visit her a couple times, as well as her coming over to visit me
I want to move to Berlin and I'd be living with her in her apartment. We have a document stating we're a couple that allows me to stay there for 90 days. Would it be reasonable to just fly over there, become a student at a German language school, and then get a student Visa? I also plan on taking my cat with me since we'd both be really upset if I didn't because we both love him, but what kind of paperwork would I need to bring a cat on a plane to Germany? Would it even be worth it or would the ride stress him out too much. I saw someone on my plane bring three cats with her so I assume it's safe.
