Germany Tightens Immigration Rules, Impacting Family, Citizenship

Germany has changed its immigration rules, making it harder for some people to bring their families and become citizens quickly.

If you have a special type of protection, you might not be able to have your family join you for two years.

Also, it will take longer to become a German citizen.

If you're married to a German citizen, you can still apply after three years if you meet the requirements.

These changes are meant to help the country manage its resources.

The new rules might affect Indians who are living or planning to live in Germany.
