s***w the USA I'm going back to where my family came from, How easy is it to stay in Germany forever!?

Question

The state of Rhineland

Answer 1

Your question was: How easy is it to stay in Germany forever?

There are two possible answers:

1) Very easy.

2) Very hard.

It all depends upon several factors: your current and former citizenships, your parents and grandparents former and current citizenships, your education, the life you have led so far, your wealth and your income, your fluency in German, living relatives in Germany, etc.

If your parents where originally from Germany, your very first step should be to apply for a German passport at the German consulate nearest to you.

If this falls through, save some money and then go to Germany to study at a German university. Finishing a degree at a German uni is generally the easiest way to immigrate to Germany if you are a young, untrained person.

As a US-citizen, you can apply for residency permit after you entered Germany visa-free as a tourist.

Once in Germany it should be possible for you to find a job as a freelance teacher for  English and get a work permit for this kind of job. (Best get some training before you leave the US.) But this will usually not last forever, because for a permanent residency permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis), you'll need a job that is not freelance. This is very very hard to get for a foreigner unless you got a PhD or higher or are in the IT industry.

Feel free to write to me at yahoo.com if you got any questions or want tips.

Answer 2

you  ask people to look at your questions then have questions like this posted. You want people to be nice, but yet you are insulting those of us who are proud of where we live.

Answer 3

I don't know just why you are going,  but certainly it is a beautiful country

I suggest you contact the nearest German Tourist Office near you and ask them for some brochures,  if you have not already done so.

I have friends who have gone over for careers in opera,  found husbands or very good friends and stayed happily ever after.

If you are thinking of anything fun to do on the internet in the meantime,  I have a favorite website:

www.germandeli.com - they have all sorts of things: food and seasonal treats:  right now it is chocolate bunnies and marzipan ... and magazines,  paper plates and pretty napkins from Germany .... tons of stuff ....especially at Christmas ....look carefully and you will find treasures that will take you to Germany before you even go! (based in Texas) They will send things to you and you may be transported and very much happier ...

Peace & Love

p.s.  Don't be mad at the USA

Answer 4

I hope you can speak German fluently.  If not, it will be difficult to get a worker's visa.

Answer 5

If your parents living in Germany you can stay there too. If there some relatives there, than it's not so easy just staying here in Germany.

Contact your local German embassy, they can answer your questions.

Answer 6

If your  family / bloodline   is ( from ) german(y)  ..then  you have  birthrights  for  your german citizenship.

You  should  conntact  the  german  embassy  

i'm a german (but  i live  in  the  USA and  i  love  it  here  )

Answer 7

You are about to have an eye opening experience.Good luck

Answer 8

Get a work visa or something, h**l, it works for Mexicans. Don't let the gate hit your backside at the airport. Bye.

Answer 9

If you're a Leftist, you'll love it there.  The Rhineland is beautiful.

Answer 10

The easiest way to be able to stay here in Germany forever is to marry or enter into a partnership contract with a German. That´s how I´m staying here!

Answer 11

Depends on your language skills.

Answer 12

I agree with you 100%.  I left the USA over 15 years ago to go to Germany and stayed.  The longer I stay away from the USA, the more I realize how much of a hole the place is.  Germany is way better, with perhaps the exception of housing (don't expect to own a house, but who really needs that anyway).

You can earn better money for a 35 hour work-week and get 6 weeks paid vacation!  No speed limits, no showing ID to buy beer, no open container laws!  The place is really free.

To stay you will need to speak & write fluent German, and have some kind of marketable trade.  A US bachelor's degree is not recognized there because it is seen as sub-standard.  Don't limit yourself to Rheinland though, there are a lot of nice areas of the country.

Answer 13

I did not really mean it Darline please stay,i will do that speciel  love thing with you if you will just please  stay,you know that no one knows what you really like but me, you will never find anyone like me ,nor i will you.. i can make you feel so real my darling,OK,i will marry you.

But if you must Go, Go with God, and all my love.

Answer 14

germany sux bullocks.

Answer 15

Can I go with you? :)

Answer 16

Was it something we said?

Answer 17

In the following site you will find a lot of information about living in Germany (inmigration, etc.). It is the official web of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/...

If you are an american citizen, I think it would be quite easy to get the residence and the work permit. In the following link (under the titel "Requirements for the issue of visas for longer stays and/or stays entitling the holder to take up gainful employment") , I found this text:

"Furthermore, citizens of Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America may obtain any residence permit that may be required after entering Germany".

http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/...

However, to make your life easier I would suggest to learn German or its basics before you leave.

Answer 18

It shouldn't difficult.  Thousands of Jewish and Polish and Russian children did it in the early 'Forties.  They are there forever along with their parents and grandparents and aunts and uncles, etc.  

It's a cynch.  You can do it.  Give it a try.

Answer 19

Well you have to sell your things like your car and make sure you have enough to put in your suitcase and good bye USA and hello GERMANY. I also want to move to Germany because life in USA is bad.
