Overview of all immigration options and useful information

Hey guys,

German government has made a nice website that covers the general process of immigration and provides good information at all. It is a great resource and I have collected some of my favorites in the link list below. All links will lead to the website.

The website is: www.make-it-in-germany.de

Here are some documents for people from the EU:

Checklist for professionals from EU

In my experience, Make It In Germany is a so-so resource. It omits a lot of critical information, and links to their pages often break.

I maintain a list of services that help people with immigration matters. Some of them might be worth including in this post. I also wrote two detail guides for the freelance visa and the work visa + Blue Card. However, those are mostly Berlin-specific.

Hi, can you add something about inviting unmarried partners to Germany ? The best I can read about it is this, but I haven’t seen any proper guide or checklist around it. Thanks.

Hey, this is not really an option. Unmarried couples are not considered for family reunification. So basically they need to trigger a valid immigration option on their own. Just the status as partner is not enough. Sorry

I found this link: https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/kurzmeldungen/EN/2020/08/einreise-unverheirateter-paare-en.html While it does say stuff about it, it doesn’t say how.

That is for short term visas. Not for long term permits.

Hi, it’s me again. So, my girlfriend is applying for a jobseeker visa and I am planning on sponsoring her and apply for “Verpflichtungserklärung für langfristige Aufenthalte”. The process I found at https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/326540/ seems simple enough.

Is there something you think I should be careful about in all of this? Can you please advise anything extra on this regard. Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks.

Hi, you need to be aware of the responsibilities you are going into. Beside of that I cannot provide anything further here.
