When am I qualified to apply for Permanent Residence?

I have worked with GIZ in Afghanistan and moved to Germany on November 2022. I have Telc B1 and Leben in Deutschland certificates. I will start working from 02.01.24. My residence permit is 22 S.2.

When am I qualified to apply for permanent residence?

How long does it take?

Should I apply for Blue card first, then permanent residence?

thank you

Hello M. With your residence permit you are allowed to change the paragraph, but under certain conditions and under these conditions you must do so after five years. There are also conditions for the blue card that are quite complicated to fulfill, even if there is no waiting period. https://handbookgermany.de/en/permanent-residence-migrants https://handbookgermany.de/en/search/content?keys=Blaue%20Karte%20 The most important thing you need to do is to start the job, because through this job your pension will be paid in, after you start the job next month, come back to me and I will find you an advice center where you can bring all your documents and they will inform you about the best way to get out of this paragraph. i'm posting this link: https://www.proasyl.de/hintergrund/die-wichtigsten-fakten-zur-aufnahme-… where you'll find some information about your paragraph . you can bring your family if you haven't already done so. I hope I've answered all your questions, and please come back if you have any more. Regards Sophie

Hi Sophie Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I moved to Germany with my family. Also, I have been working as a volunteer since January 2023 in PMI Germany Chapter. For your information, Jobcenter still only pay a part of my apartment rent. It seems, it takes five years to obtain the PR with my residence permit. So, do you have any idea, what are the basic requirements for applying Blue card with my Residence permit? Thank you!

Hi @mrezaie Where and how can I get a Blue Passport? The local Immigration Office will issue your passport. In principle, you will receive it along with your residence permit. You have to pay for your travel document, even if you are receiving social benefits (e.g. from Job Centre). The amount you pay depends on your age and status and can be as high as €100. You will also need a biometric passport photo (which you can take in a photo booth or photo studio), a proof of residence (registration or „Anmeldung“) and a document acknowledging your asylum rights or refugee status. Usually, the immigration authority takes six to eight weeks to issue your travel ID. https://www.bamf.de/EN/Themen/MigrationAufenthalt/ZuwandererDrittstaate… https://service.berlin.de/dienstleistung/324659/en/
