Niederlassungserlaubnis (Permanent Residence)From $1Table of contents
The "Niederlassungserlaubnis" secures permanent residence in Germany. It has no time or spatial restrictions and gives you the right to take up gainful employment without having to undergo further approval by the "Bundesagentur für Arbeit" (Federal Employment Agency). This unlimited settlement permit generally entitles you to take up any form of gainful employment (exceptions apply only to a few professions, in particular the medical profession, e.g. doctors, and for receiving civil service status).
The "Niederlassungserlaubnis" should be applied for as soon as all conditions are met. In the majority of cases this settlement permit will not be issued immediately. There are exceptions, however, for highly qualified people. People also receive a settlement permit directly on arrival in Germany who are accepted by the Federal Republic of Germany for special political reasons (e.g. Jews from the former Soviet Union). All other groups can only receive a settlement permit after a specific period of stay in Germany. Depending on the purpose for which the residence permit ("Aufenthaltserlaubnis") was issued, you may be entitled to a settlement permit ("Niederlassungserlaubnis") if other preconditions are fulfilled. The following conditions must generally be met in order to receive a settlement permit:
For spouses it is sufficient if the partner is employed and pays social insurance contributions. For children there are wide-ranging exemptions. They are generally entitled to a settlement permit if, at the age of 16, they have possessed a residence permit for five years. There are also special regulations for issuing settlement permits for recognised refugees. They can usually already receive a settlement permit after three years.
What documents are needed to apply for NE?This varies from one ABH to another but the most common are - Antrag (Application form) - Aktuelle Meldebescheinigung (vom Rathaus) - die letzten drei Gehaltsabrechnungen (The last 3 salary slips) - Mietvertrag oder Grundbuchauszug. (House/Appartment rental agreement) - Biometrisches Passfoto/Lichtbild (Biometric Photo) - 85 EUR more information here (in German). When should we apply for an NE ?At least four weeks prior to the expiry of your 5 years stay in Germany. Is it possible to work in other European countries with NE ?No its not possible to work in other European countries with NE. You would need D-EG. The NE becomes invalid, if you stay out of Germany for more than 6 months. Should I have paid 60 months of Pension (Rente) for getting NE ?Not if you had arrived in Germany before 2005. AufenthG §104 (2) Is it correct? Because in I got a problem with 60 months Rentenversicherung in Augsburg. Actually I did my masters from 2002 november to 2005 January and have been working from Feb2005 to till date. I have applied for NE in June2009 in Augsburg and the Lady in Ausländerbehörde told me that I need to wait 7 more months to fulfil 60 months 60 rentenversicherung as during my studies worked only 320 euros/month job in University and only employer part of rentenversicherung was paid. Please advice if I can claim with any point in the valid law? Thanks.
Is there any way to extend the Visa ?You can get short extension or Fiktionsbescheinigung. It would cost around 30 EUR, or for two years 40 EUR. Is it necessary to undergo Integration course ?It's not necessary for NE, but you would have to talk to the beamter in German to convince him that you have basic understanding of the language. Yes, if you arrived in Germany after 01.01.2005 or if you plan to apply for German Citizenship. Where to get more information on Integration course ?Check the BAMF site or contact your local ABH.
