years naturalization, dual nationality becomes possible?
On November 25, the Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser planned and proposed a draft: significantly reduce the conditions for German naturalization, and the time required to obtain German passport will also be shortened.
Specific policy drafts are as follows:
▶If the mother and/or father have a "legal customary residence" in Germany for five years (currently eight years), children born in Germany will directly obtain a German passport.
▶Foreigners no longer need to live in Germany for eight years before naturalization. Five years after the future reform will be enough, and even three years in special circumstances!
▶The obligation to waive the original nationality will be cancelled, making double passports the norm in Germany. (Although it may not be necessary to give up the original nationality to be naturalized in Germany in the future, dual nationality is not recognized by our country.)
▶ Foreign workers over 67 no longer need to take written language tests to be naturalized. It is enough to have the ability to communicate orally. At the same time, there is no need to take the naturalization examination about Germany's national conditions. For those with lower education levels in all ages, “difficulty cases” (no tests were also planned.
▶Previously, "Einordnung in deutsche Lebensverhältnisse" was one of the important conditions for becoming a German citizen. German law clearly stipulates monogamy, and bigamy people will be prohibited from becoming German citizen. This requirement will be changed, and if polygamy exists in the law of the applicant's country of origin, bigamy people can also become German nationality.
major change to immigration law!
Just a few days after the draft was announced, the German cabinet reached an agreement on the key points in the draft skilled immigration on Wednesday (November 30). Regarding the changes to relax immigration requirements , the federal government believes that Germany lacks a large number of technical talents . Due to problems such as population aging, Germany faces the loss of 7 million workers in 2035. Only by introducing a large number of technical talents through can the problem of workers shortage be solved.
According to the key points of the new immigration law, it can be seen that Germany's determination to eliminate immigration barriers is very firm: master German or those who are engaged in labor shortage can apply for a visa to go to Germany in the future even if they have not signed a work contract with a German company, or do not have a German training certificate and other work visa certificate, etc.
The German government has proposed three pillar plans, with the aim of reducing obstacles for foreign technicians to come to Germany and making it easier for people in third countries to find jobs in Germany.
Professional skills pillar : From the current point of view, foreign technicians must first obtain qualification certification and work contract before they can work in Germany. Later, Germany should create entry and residence opportunities for technicians who are unable or only able to present some documents related to their professional qualifications for non-responsible reasons. Because these skills can eventually be tested in Germany.
Experience pillar : Some technicians from abroad who do not have education but already have rich professional experience should also get the opportunity to enter the German labor market. The German government also hopes that will improve the working conditions of employees in the field of information and communication technology, and hopes to give up the requirement to have sufficient German skills certification for them. That is to say, even if some technicians in lack German skills, the employer can decide whether to hire it at his own discretion.
Potential pillar : Similar to Canada and Australia, Germany plans to introduce the points system to launch the "job opportunity card" .Criteria for proof of “good potential” can include qualifications, language skills, professional experience, connections with Germany and age.
German Labor Minister proposed that Germany is introducing an opportunity card with a transparent points system so that the labor required by Germany can enter Germany more easily. This will solve the difficulty of finding a job in Germany abroad.
The so-called points system should include four standards:
Foreign education
At least three years of professional experience
Language ability or have lived in Germany
Age 35 Under the age of
History has been unable to solve the shortage of technicians in Germany. The promulgation of the new immigration law will also mean that Germany is heading towards an immigrant country.
