Germany Tightens Immigration: New Rules Explained

Germany Tightens Immigration: New Rules Explained

Germany is changing its immigration rules.

They are making it harder for some migrants to bring their families to Germany for two years.

They are also making people live in Germany for at least five years before they can become citizens.

Before, some people could become citizens in three years, but that's not the case anymore, unless you're married to a German citizen.

These changes aim to help the country manage immigration, but Germany still wants to attract skilled workers.

This means people who want to live in Germany long-term need to understand the new rules.
