(27th August 2023). The German Cabinet passed a draft bill to ease the citizenship rule and the “New German Law to Grant Citizenship to Foreigners” who have been working and living in Germany for the last five years. Under this New rule, citizenship will be granted in five years now instead of eight years. According to the German Ministry, there are 12 million foreign nationals currently in Germany.
The new law also states that Citizenship is possible after three years for those who have achieved outstanding performance at work or do voluntary work, speak German well, and are financially independent. All children who are born to foreign parents will receive a German Citizenship unconditionally. All people who are interested in working in Germany can apply for a German visa. Germany welcomes and gives visas. More details are below.
