Condition for permanent residence

I have two questions: 

1. What are the minimum conditions required to qualify for permanent residence?

2. What are the minimum conditions for refugees accepted under Article 22.2 to qualify for permanent residence?

Hello @mhf786  
thank you for the question on our English forum!

In general, the requirements for permanent residence are

  • 5 years residence permit
  • 5 years rent contribution
  • You must be able to support yourself and your home (no social benefits)
  • You speak German at B1 level

You can check all the requirements here:

Your title §22.2 is valid for permanent residence.

You can check with an counseling centre if you are eligible for permanent residence.
