Magdeburg (dpa/sa) - In January, the immigration authorities in Saxony-Anhalt received 301 applications for an opportunity residence permit. Interior Minister Tamara Zieschang (CDU) said on Thursday in the state parliament.
In December, the Bundestag passed the so-called right of residence. It is intended to offer prospects in Germany to well-integrated foreigners who have been living in Germany for several years without a secure status. Anyone who has lived in the country for five years as of October 31, 2022 and has not committed a crime should have 18 months to meet the requirements for long-term residence. This includes, for example, knowledge of German and securing your own livelihood.
