Permanent Residence eligibility check
Dear Team,
I have been working in Berlin for the past 24 months and hold a valid Blue Card residence permit. I have completed only the A1 level in German. Can I apply for permanent residence?
Thanks!

Dear @Savya , thank you for reaching out to us. If you have an EU Blue Card, you can apply for a permanent residence permit after 27 months with the EU Blue Card. You only need to have made pension insurance contributions for 27 months, have a suitable job and speak German at A1 level. If you speak German at level B1, you can obtain a permanent residence permit after just 21 months: https://handbookgermany.de/en/permanent-residence-migrants#faq_550 If you have any further questions, please let us know.
