Same here in America.. there’s a sense of entitlement that the American tax payer owes the world, not just immigrants. When something happens anywhere, we’re expected to even give our lives for strangers.. non Americans to fight for these people? Many non Americans are envious or just down right hateful of American ways, so why should we help anyone? It should be every man for himself.
@geranienbaum not, that is the main problem. People expect to move to another country and change the culture. German is compulsory for proper integration.
Why should they bother to learn German ? Germans can learn to speak their language . didnt you see the middle eastern immigrant woman in finland who was complaining to the interviewer that there are too many Finns in Finland and it annoys her greatly? how is she supposed to cope with all these Finns everywhere ? You really think they care about learning to speak German ?
We need educated and skilled people in germany who actually want to learn the language, respect our laws and culture and basically are willing to integrate into our society. What we dont need are the millions and millions of uneducated people that come here to demand food, shelter and money and want just to live of our social system while we germans have to pay for it with our taxes.
i run 2 remote businesses a design agency and a consulting agency as a literal German-American. My Grandpa came here after WW2 from Germany, and I want to go learn German and just live in a place more calm than America. And I can't even get in.. I wonder how all these people get in so easy. And if I want to study German I'm paying 350$ a week for lessons in Germany, but they get free classes?? It doesn't make sense
@@suzycatipiller821not at all what is happening, the immigrants in America are Christian, hard working and well-behaved. Immigrants in Germany are from the “religion of peace”.
@@DesignedInNola Just throw away your passport and claim that you are from a african or arab country. You will get money, housing, food and education for free and nobody will check if are actually a refugee or a just an economic migrant. But if they find out you will still be tolerated and not send back. Its absolutely nuts that its incredibly hard for foreigners who actually want to work, study or have a business here to come to our country, but all the people who just come for welfare are let in by millions without any question asked.
Let me make this clear, Europe has no moral obligation to become multicultural. We have different values and our values should be respected. Europeans should not be reduced to a minority on our own motherland. This is our land
You are right on this ,no country with humongous native in the world has the moral obligations on being a multicultural society if they don't want to, so let be clear that what your country has been facing is that your country has open its door to the refugees from the middle east ,so therefore they are not an asset ,but migrants worker and professional who are highly educated are an asset to your country ,bear in mind that no land belongs to anyone of us, but it's about choosing who you invite in from the beginning. If one doesn't want to assimilate into the Western free society and has the intention to create social and religious disparity in society ,then you have the right to tell them to go elsewhere.
@@melvyncarrot4741 you said "no land belongs to anyone" but human history disagrees with you. For thousands of years kings have conquered lands while the inhabitants of the lands would fight back and put up a resistance. Different Native American tribes would wage war and fight eachother to expand their territory (land). When kings wanted to build an empire they went conquering foreign lands and the inhabitants of those lands would fight back. No one is just going to sit there and say "hey everything belongs to everyone. Everything is up for grabs" life doesn't work like that and neither does human nature. If that's the case then go build a house and don't put a lock on it. Your house doesn't belong to you. It's for anyone who just wants to barge in
The erroneous idea of "no land belongs to anyone" is not natural and not normal and in fact I would even label Marxist and communist. Because communists don't believe people can own land or property. Your wrong. EUROPE IS OUR LAND and we have the right preserve our culture, values and European identity. We will not be reduced to a minority on our own motherland. by the way it was the government that had opened the borders. The government forced this on us. There was no vote or anything so don't say that we the people invited them because we never did. It was our government that did
I mean why should it be very fast? You come to a new country without a language, without skilled field knowledge, you just fall in love on a plane and expect to just arrive and get all the benefits of permanent resident? They also need to consider how beneficial you will be to the country and not just a tax burden on working people...I came to Germany and it took almost 7 years of working and paying taxes to actually get the residence permit, and some people expect this to happen when they just arrive.
I would expect work and residence permits to be very fast. I work in IT and we have a lit of people coming for a few years, paying much more taxes than receiving benefits and then usually leaving. I would be in favor of a temporary, very fast given work and residence permit for highly skilled workers
That's a ridiculous thing to say. If the restrictions need to be stricter then fair enough. But rejections also takes years... It's not about making a system more lenient or strict but more efficient. Whatever the decision is to be. Slowness is not good for anyone also for a person who in case of rejections would want to move on within his/her life.
Moving to another country and not learn to speak the language is disrespectful. And yes I moved to another country within the EU, and speak that language. Not hard just put some effort and time in to it.
I went to college in Germany, still go see friends. I wish immigrants would integrate to their culture instead of pushing theirs into German throats. Understanding their bureaucratic system is part of integration too.
Why is all the onus on immigrants. Its not like you are not taxing immigrants while they contribute much more to German economy. So why is it only upto immigrants. Never seen any german own it that yes , we should be more welcoming too if we want to survive as a country and economy.
I think you don't understand their frustration, it's not about immigrants integrating into the German culture it's about how difficult they make it for immigrants.
You are obviously missing the point . 😂. No one is trying to force their culture on germans, as a matter of fact ,germans are not even that open for the conversation. If Germany claims they want to maintain their ailing economy, then they need to remove certain unnecessary red tapes. There are smarter ways to work around it. For examples for international students ,Germany can make a mandatory integration semester , an international student will have a hard time juggling work , class and integration. It doesn't work that way
I am colombian, I think colombians should stay in colombia end try to develope our country, stop going to other countries believing they will appreciate you, these people don't believe in their own potential, that's why they go to other places, I only would go like a tourist, I wouldn't stay for a long period of time. Germany is a great country, but now is a political progressive experiment, who knows the social conflicts that will appear in the future.
This is the problem sadly with many poor countries many want to move to richer countries and don’t want to stay and build their own countries and economies back up
Most of the qualified people don’t choose Europe as their destination. US is much more attractive. You earn 3 times more than Germany and are not subject to alienation. In US everybody is immigrant; that is an advantage.
Went to Germany as a young man, from 1981 to 1999, learned the language which has a beautiful structured phraseology to it, loved the food, admired the culture, in generally treated very well, worked hard, got paid the national rate, sometimes more. Bureaucracy exists in every country, in Germany, it is a little daunting, but I found that once you were in the system it worked fine in relation to the health service, religious taxes, car registration, further education, and so on. Sadly I had to return home due to personal reasons. I had hoped to live my life there, brought many systems and things back with which to this day I adhere to. Currently, in Germany, they have taken in upwards of a million people coming inwards, all with diverse experiences of their own civil services, lax or otherwise. A robust bureaucracy can deal with this. For me, it was a tedious slog through the system, but the rewards were well worth it. I miss Germany, I owe Germany a lot, thanks from an Ausländer.

Getting citizenship or even a work permit in a country SHOULDN'T be easy. There should be an expectation of having the language learned, established living conditions, and established employment when you move to a new country and not expect the government to fund it.
True, although I will replace the word "easy" with "taken lightly" . At the end of the day nothing should be made needlessly difficult if the right requirements are set for people to meet. Should language requirements be set for people looking to naturalize absoooolutely, since such a person can then apply for government positions and needs to understand German standards. Should a person coming to Germany to complete a 1 year project then leave be held to the same standard of language and integration requirement? Maybe not. Making things needlessly difficult doesn't necessarily weed out bad actors but certainly affects good actors .
It shouldn’t be easy if Germany doesn’t need any workers. Even after continuous migration, Germany lacks 400000 workers per year. Your most of the industries are already moving to China and other Asian countries because of lack of workers. If you don’t have immigration then Who will work in Supermarkets, Nurse, cleaners, kindergarten, delivery guys, plumbers, construction workers and lot more blue and white collar jobs? Because of stubborn language problem people choosing Netherlands, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada. Anyway, I agree on your citizenship point.
If they have the requirements it wouldn't need to be hard for the sake of being hard. The problem isn't the requirements, it's the slow pace of the system. Why wait 3 - 4 weeks for a confirmation of a document by letter? Digitalisation is the way to go, in my home country I can do every bureaucracy in the government app. It would be lifechanging even for Germans
I lived in Germany to work as an engineer and left after a year. The stress is not even remotely worth it. When I left my company, they attempted to bill me what would have been €2000 for apparently not fulfilling my hours and I had to argue with them and raise hell for them to realise that they had made an error and if I didn’t pull out my phone and get them on tape admitting it, I’m 100% sure I would be sitting with that nonsensical bill as I type this. The bureaucracy is ridiculous on all levels and applied very harshly on foreigners, to the point where my German friends had a very hard time believing what I had to deal with. Leaving was a very easy decision that had an immediate positive effect on my mental health. “If you don’t like it here then go back to where you came from” is a very popular German phrase that subtly implies that Germany is the only country worth immigrating to. It’s not. There are other thriving economies that are also in need of skilled workers. Countries that are much more accommodating. If you have the option, it is worth considering.
Sorry about your experience,what country did you move to

I wouldn’t move to Germany , just because of their language. So difficult and not really fun to speak either. There is no point to leave somewhere if I don’t speak their language.
I have been living in Germany for 14 months as skilled worker. The first day I moved into my new apartment, a German lady knocked on my door and gave me flowers, wishing me a good integration and life in the country. Some of my neighbours are very friendly, some are not. But that was also the case back in my homeland. I had major issues with with integration course and tax, however, I still think it is worth living here. I dont plan to stay permanently, but who knows.
This is a huge issue. People that already immigrated and successfully employed including skill workers in professions that has shortages, they are losing their jobs and life achievements to this problem. It's terrible how these Foreign Offices operate (or doesn't operate). They really need a restructure and digitization. And fire those who are on the constant "coffee breaks" for our taxes. Here in Cologne it is (I believe) the worst! They doesn't reply on your E-Mails, it's impossible to get them on the phone. You are under constant stress if your permit is expiring.
I just got here in Cologne like a month ago for studies, bureaucracy here is surprisingly slow. Why should I wait for my giro-card to be delivered via post when I can collect it myself from the bank? I can't make online payments because I don't have access to my blocked account because I haven't received access to my bank account yet! :( I have to apply for residence permit in Jan as my visa will be expiring in March but only god knows what I'll be dealing with.
Good 'Im glad country's like Germany r making it harder on theses ppl, did u no a migrant in Australia gets about 3 times more assistance per year than any unemployed Australia n im talking around 60 odd thousand dollars a year there getting it all the diffrent benefits , i think its disgraceful.
@@davechristian7543 Lol. Europeans do not realize how fast it is to open a bank account etc. in so called "third world" countries. I expected to walk in and walk out with a card, account number like in India when I went to the UK as a student. I needed an appointment at Barclay's to get another appointment to actually create the account. Not to mention, even transferring money within the same bank took 3 days. Had to ask my uncle to lend me cash since I had to wait for the bank account. Thankfully, there are the likes of N26 in continental Europe who make it slightly easier. Haven't been in Norway, Sweden etc. But heard they run more on cards than cash.
depends on the field of qualification. Germany has a monstrous industrial complex that most of the world doesn't has...And that industry needs millions of skilled workers. The problem? Most of these skilled workers would choose US, Netherlands or any Anglosphere country rather than Germany, that requires a new language from the beginning at ages (24-35) that are difficult, A culture that is not that much ''warm'' compared to anglosphere communities. I worked in your country for a few years and the german culture is one of the most astonishing things that I appreciate the most as an experience of life, even nowadays that I am in my own country, I invest some time in German language, but there are moments in which I wonder if the clever move should be Invest all my time in English in order to get better results in the long term! I think what happens to me is common between other skilled immigrants that must choose between improving English or learning German. I could learn or improve German in 4-5 years but even so, I could never catch up a native speaker, and going to Germany to work is not that easy unless you are of the religion of peace and freedom! at my age...that's a lot of time that could be invested in improving english and that always give you profits
Yeah but we try more now I think. Gaslighting through MSM seems to fail and people paying more attention. Things can change fast if people built a common consensus on what’s going wrong. Might be optimistic but that’s all we have left for now
I was an exchange student in Germany last year. Extending my Visa was not only stressful but humiliating. I only had to defend my thesis and leave, that's it, yet they insulted me, made me wait for months, asked me for an absurd amount of money without a day's notice, and refused to speak in English to me at the immigration office while making remarks about "how they also needed to eat and 150 euros wasn't that much" (my German friend told me this). IHow come no one at the immigration office knew English? I can only imagine what would happen if we refused to speak English at an immigration office in Mexico. US Americans alone would start the riots. I did try to learn German, reached A2 level during my semester exchange, but there was no way I could have handled German paperwork at this level, that's why I brought my friend. From the comments I get that a great amount of Germans would celebrate what I experienced which honestly really sucks. I don't wish this upon anyone. May you all never be treated as subhuman
wow….!!!!! I am Oh So terribly sorry that you had to go through this as here in New York City at least, so many languages are mandated to be spoken at all immigrant offices, social work agencies, medical centers , clinics and hospitals with the halo if either a live or a telephonic Interpreter….. And you can pass your Driver’s License test in your Native language….. as a professional longtime Social Worker, Health Worker, Educatir & Presenter, I always take my time to really respectfully speak to some of my complaining clients about the USA Immigration system & let them know that it is most certainly far worse than it is here in many other countries!
It's the German way of saying "we may need cheap qualified labour, but don't really want you here" 😂 The irony is that while highly or moderately qualified immigrants suffer that bureaucracy, society, and even weather lol, (society willing or not) at the same time they do take in people with the absolute worst personal and professional backgrounds. Make up your minds already! Be frank about the issue at least, instead of beating around the political bushes.
Advocate for domestic population birthing incentives and say no to unjustified mass immigration. Native Europeans have a right to preserve their identity.
Mere people didn't build Germany. Germans did. We have immigration policy for a reason. If mass immigration was justified, then we wouldn't have immigration policy and borders.
Not Germany whole Europe is run in this path. They just want to use immigrants as a slave what is a modern way of what they did in 16-18th century. This is Europe's natural
Actually it does, trade agreements when signed also includes immigration stats quite often, lot of countries negotiate this and historically that has always been the case. For example lets say why would India allow tens of billions worth of contracts to German companies in various sectors if they aren't planning to employ people from the country? Two Indian airlines bought close to 100 billion worth of orders from Airbus, in return Airbus hired close to 1800 high skilled people for their offices in Toulouse and Hamburg as well as establish offices within India to employ even more and this included Indians as well hence migration happened. Those companies get money and keep the French and Germans employed at the same time provide employment to Indians. Trade and immigration always goes hand in hand in most circumstances. And yes Germans do go everywhere, not as many as India, China, UK or USA but still, there are close to 50k Germans who work in India and hundreds of thousands of Germans go to work in USA, Australia, Singapore everywhere. Its not a one sided thing. I ove your hypocrisy too when millions of Germans immigrated to USA and Canada but you don't want anyone to somehow come to Germany.Quite convenient for a stagnating economy isn't it?@geranienbaum
Shocking Germany is making them learn the National Language,,,, also the governments needs to do something about the weather.... especially for people coming from warm climates.... lol
Germans would be absolutely thrilled to study English, Russian and French during the occupation era I guess. Right ? How many Germans learned the native language before reunification willingly ?
@@MrReachashish Errr... what? German language is and always has been the official language all over Germany. Second language (at school) English, then French, Latin, Spanish.... when the GDR still existed, second language (at school) was Russian...
I was born in Namibia, which is an ex German colony. To this day, there are daily flights between the 2 countries and there is a large German population. The majority of the native population speak Afrikaans (from Dutch, another coloniser of Namibia), and many have German as a second or third language. We have German schools and many of the buildings,food, etc are German influenced. Namibian diamonds are all over Europe. I don't know one German person that can speak even 1 of Namibia's 13 native languages. I'm sure most Germans in Namibia can't even name the languages. Most Germans in Germany dont even know about Namibia. Assimilation is a one-way game to Europeans.
Pff wat waren ze slecht he? Zo slecht dat je er vervolgens wilt gaan wonen. Slaat echt nergens op! Niemand staat op jou te wachten: het is toch echt je eigen keuze. En dan vervolgens durven te klagen, het is gewoon een mop!
@@dutchyatchateauSorry maar je logica slaat nergens op. Er zijn tal van Surinamers waaronder mij eigen familie die naar NL zijn geëmigreerd. Het is juist Nederland die in de geschiedenis heeft geprofiteerd van colonisatie en er rijker van is geworden. Niet andersom. Zelfde in Indonesië. Wat menneer zegt is juist begrijpelijk. Namibië is nog steeds heel erg verdeeld tussen Duitsers en Afrikanen door colonisatie. Het is nog erg zichtbaar daar.
I applied for citizenship 2 years ago. It was radio silence after that. Then 3 months ago i got a paper saying i need to pay the application fee, then radio silence again
Making an appointment to make an appointment is just out of this worlds bureacracy. First of all Germany needs skilled workforce from abroad not vice versa. There are many skilled expats living in Germany always under the pressure of Visa cancellation. Meeting with officials of Immigrant Office is always nightmare. Thier prejudice against foreigners are outrageuous. I know their job is not easy, since half the visitors dont even speak proper German and make typical excuses and complaints to get their Visa renewed. But it does not neccessarily mean we are all the same. I for example came to Germany to study at first and now graduated and doing decent job and paying same taxes as Germans. In order to get my Bluecard I need just couple more years. Still I feel very very unwelcomed at the Immigration officer. When I first time tried to renew my Visa, I kicked out of no reason, just because Officer lady was not in the mood. Since then I faced many absurd demands from Immigration officers, like bringing two copies of my files, or forgot my pen to sign, or not giving standart pass picture etc. Getting appointement is just difficult as winning in lottos. In big cities as Berlin, people wait at least 12 hours outside to get an appointment. Online booking jut dont work out here somehow. Germany is flooded with refugees with no skills and proper education, who lives off unemployment and taxpayers money. Germany needs to stop those troublemakers getting into country. Eventhough I am a MIgrant myself, I dont want to live people have no basic culture understanding, language, and proper civilized attitude. I came to Geramany, to avoid living with such troublemakers not feeding them with my taxes. Due to these kind of people, people like me is facing prejudice and burocracy from German authorities. They also need to distinguish their attitude.
Totally agree. That's why migrants should apply for asylum from their home countries and wait for the denial there without entering the country. Edit: why are they showing people from Latin America, while still 85 % come from Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq and those countries, u know where the good people come from?lol
Most people can’t apply from their country especially those that are under distress while just trying to live the point is get out from Tierney and hope that you could have asylum. If you don’t get asylum at least you’re still alive!!! we will never know what that life might bring to this world. Hopefully they bring good, but we don’t know!
In Ireland you can renew all your visa online, no need to show up at the office, just for the first time where they get your finger prints but after that everything its online.
Same in Sweden. And the lack of digitalization seems weird. Even if applicants post their application, it will be scanned in by the administration personal handling, making it much easier for those working with decisions.
@@30yoboomer for sure the migration lady won't be writing in paper 📜😁 the migrants need follow up. They have to learn the language in school, they have professional education and so on . Migrants in Germany don't speak the language normally different from Ireland.
As a German with volunteer background in immigration matters I can say that Germany is complicated when it comes to bureaucracy issues. Especially if you grew up with entirely different structures. Would be the same for us if the roles were reversed. It is not ok that legal immigrants such as international students have to ASK FOR PERMISSION to go to driving school and get a German driver's license. They are here legally already. On top of that offices are understaffed to even process everything in a timely manner. We could absolutely get rid of that. We can't claim to be 'such an immigrant country' and then demand that folks ask permission to do the most basic things in life. I do NOT agree with that expression that language and integration courses are so demanding. It sounds like it's illegitimate to make the part of the integration process. They are part of a successful integration. Everyone who comes here and thinks they can get by without German is absolutely delusional and will find out the hard way.
EU citizens are not expected to do these courses. The Colombian, if she got a Spanish passport and moved to Germany, would be exempt. Same if she had a non German EU partner. Thankfully, the EU is slowly trying to get rid of this BS.
I don't believe would be the same for German people, if you come to Brazil for example people will be extremely friendly. I went there twice and is difficult to get in touch socially and in a political level with people, if you need information, people do not have any good will to try to help others, here people even try to find out if you have a place to stay, this is the biggest difference.
Having lived in Germany, I can assure you that depending on your situation, learning german can be absolutely pointless. If you intend to live there forever, then it's probably useful, but other than that, where would you ever use it? When you go to your bank once every five years? It just doesn't have much value.
@isabelc2131 Quote: "it is not ok that legal immigrants such as international students have to ASK FOR PERMISSION to go to driving school and get a German driver's license." What is the problem to ask for permission to visit a driving school? There is a need to check if there is any crime history and a police certificate of good conduct concerning driving a car. Everybody is commited to follow that rule! Asking for permission is the very least problem You should have. 😉 Ask and then visit the driving school - how simple is that?!
So let me get this straight, Catalina speaks spanish as her native tongue, she wants to teach little kids in germany (I'm sure their parents want them to learn the language the proper way) and she's complaining about that she needs a level B in german ????? That's so incredibly low, level B is rudimentary for your existence in given environment let alone teaching native kids, it's extremely benevolent and she should be thankful for it and not complain.
I am sure she is thankful otherwise she won't be putting in effort at all especially whiles she is in her country and not even knowing if she will stay in Germany. People move to Europe taking the supposedly easy route, fake marriages and the other which I will not name. So I really respect people who follow the law and do their best to meet the requirements to come work and earn an honest wage.
Let's respect the people who wish to learn the language and adapt to the social norms unlike the illegal migrants who want to introduce the islam and sharia laws. We need a balance.
You got nothing straight, just demonstrated your dmb as rocks, she didnt complain. If the german parents want the children to learn the language the proper way they better pay private schools cause theres a reason german agencies are recruiting foreigners and paying them to learn german.
@@artic_dhyes, she is complaining about how hard it is learning it on the B2 level, which is exactly what I was alluding to. I merely punctated the fact she should be grateful C1 level isn't required, which is the first level on which a person could proclaim they speak the language. 😂 Yes they need them, but at the same time it'll boost her standard of life tenfold. This is not manual labor, a kindergarten teacher has a tremendous influence on the development of a child, especially in the language sector and B2 is incredibly low for that.
Guess what? Immigrating to a new country with a different culture and language is hard! I emigrated, learned the language for years, spent thousands, dealt with a decade of bureaucratic uncertainty, job capture, and time away from family, all in the pursuit of what I believed would be a better life. It's not up to the host country to accommodate you. You made the choice to move, you need to put in the work. The entitlement of these people is horrifying.
I’m currently in the intensive German course (as a German citizen though, long story but was born here but grew up in America). It’s a great course but too many people don’t take it seriously, it’s a major problem. I’m the only student out of 23 that actually seems to have truly taken in any information. The rest just do the bare minimum and don’t study on the side.
This is a lie. Many people take it easy but do not have the advantage you have. Imagine you don't understand German and have apply for permit as an adult who does not understand the language.
Not sure it's fair to just say folks aren't taking it seriously. Speaking as someone who emmigrated to another country, there are a multitude of challenges foreingers go through when immigrating. Language, food, people, weather, poltitics, the list goes on. Let's not be uncecessarily critical without knowing the stories of these individuals.
I know many Germans living in South Africa and Namibia. Guess how many of them can speak any of the native languages? Guess how many of them can even name all of the native language. The best you can get is English with a heavy accent and they are applauded for it. Bring a German person who lives in Africa and can speak an African language fluently, and I will be thoroughly impressed.
As a European who immigrated to Germany: if you can't wrap your head about the admin necessary to live in Germany, how are you going to do anything at all? Digitisation is obviously lacking, but that also goes for the migration system EU-wide. No one is in charge.
So people travel thousands of miles in "fear of their lives". Choose Germany...because you can't end up there by coincidence. Enjoying the social system. But waiting for an appointment is highly racist and not acceptable! Ganz mein Humor! ❤
I think people doesnt really understand something simple.. you emigrate so you are the responsable to integrate! If you want to go out your country do it, but if you are not agree with integrate to other culture, or learn other lenguage, look for a country that doesnt required that. Im from El Salvador living in The Netherlands, and here we see a lot of latin people and african people that get free lenguage lessons (asylum visas) and they just dont go, dont want to learn, work or integrate and just wait for the goverment payment. And people like me that came with other type of visa, have to pay all! Not benefit at all! So before you go out your country think good, if not your life in europe will be same or worst that in your own country.
As a Prussian, this is unacceptable, first take care of your indigenous population and those who want to be German not cluster fk we have now. Giving citizenship to everyone without care, nowonder everything is going down the drain for a country...
To those who complain about German burocracy , i suggest they come and try the Italian one ! After they'll understand if they are smart, that they are very lucky .
Fascinating! It seems like bureaucracy is a universal experience, not limited to Germany alone. It's a common challenge worldwide. Nevertheless, it makes sense that individuals with valid job offers should be granted the necessary permits to stay. It's essential to streamline these processes for everyone's benefit
in south Korea, you can do almost everything online and bureaucracy is almost non-existent. even though it has its shortcomings the speed of operation and Access is amazing.
@@msf8297 Dealing with bureaucracy can indeed be challenging in various countries around the world. From India’s intricate paperwork to Russia’s administrative complexities, and from the stringent regulations in China to the bureaucratic hurdles faced in Brazil and Italy, navigating these systems can often be overwhelming. In countries like Nigeria, Venezuela, and Argentina, bureaucracy can significantly affect day-to-day life, while in Greece and France, administrative processes might feel extensive. The situation in Mexico, South Korea, Egypt, and Turkey is no different, presenting their unique bureaucratic landscapes. These complexities extend to Ukraine, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Pakistan, Spain, Poland, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Colombia. Each country has its own set of paperwork, regulations, and processes that can pose challenges, making it understandable why individuals might seek ways to simplify or expedite these procedures. Indeed, navigating bureaucracy can sometimes lead people to prioritize their own convenience and see their personal issues as more pressing than anything else. This complexity is universal, and while some experiences may seem more challenging than others, it’s a shared sentiment worldwide. 😊
As a european, We have to deal with mass migration since 2015, our systems are flooded because of it, and in some city's you are a minority(i was in my own city a minority and it dint feel like my home anymore). I think europe has already taken in to much migrants. A part of them dont integrate and only come for the wellfare. Due to this the laws are made stricter, which is good. But like always the good people suffer because of the bad ones that went before them.
I’m a Floridian American. It’s the same way in Florida.. I moved even though my family has lived there more than 5 generations. Doesn’t feel like home anymore and it’s over run. Nobody respects the old culture. There needs to be quotas. Nobody wants to be run out of where they were born & raised. It’s worse when one doesn’t respect the culture, doesn’t learn the language, etc. disrespectful
Why cant you name the country you are from "As an European" says absolutely nothing, people from Finland and Greece are on average extremely different people!!
Its not nice that this family have fsced this kind of treatment, but this is largely thanks to large groups of migrants before them, thanks to their behaviours, have gone out of their way to make migrants unwelcomed. Maybe direct the frustration at those people.
Level B2 in German is a very low bar for teachers. I have Level C1 in German, and I am not arrogant enough to say I don't need to learn anymore. Teachers teach the language to the children. How is a teacher with only B2 level proficiency supposed to make sure the children are learning the language properly? Any language teacher should be required to have C2 or above certification.
If i went to germany and didn't like it i would leave. I wouldn't go there to change their way of life because i don't like it, its like me going to my friends house and telling him what colour he should pain the walls and what furniture he should have....

Honestly, this report can be applied to my country Japan almost 100%. The lack of resources which integrate immigrants (language , education), lots of paper works . and after all, immigrants are thought as economic tools not human by the government, politicians and business circles.
We do it purposely because we only want foreign-nationals who really wish to live in Japan. And we do NOT offer Permanent Visa to foreign-nationals who are not fluent in Japanese as all the interviews and documents will only be in Japanese. Basically, we have no room for foreign-nationals who have no desire to assimilate culturally and integrate socially.
But in all these vlogs, there are millions of foreigners living and working in Japan. And they have children, often married to native Japanese, and their children attend Japanese schools.
@@user-1rg9f2-g3l6d Yes, for every 20 foreigners who decide to go home, there's one who decides to stay. Most of these vloggers are rich enough to send their kids to international schools where there's mostly foreign kids and the entire program is English-based. There are also some who can not afford that and send their children to Japanese schools where there's a high chance they will get bullied constantly. I also have some friends who married to a Japanese person and decided to stay, though they are still thinking of eventually moving when their kids grows up a bit as Japanese women in particular prefer to raise their kids in a familiar environment. Still, only 1% of the population of Japan consists of foreigners, and most of those are east Asians who have relatively similar cultural background to the Japanese. Western foreigners living here are very few, and in my experience it's the kind of people who never felt at home in their own countries who can do all kinds of compromises in such a foreign culture.
Look how much money France has thrown into integration of immigrants for the last 30 years. It failed totally, no matter how much money you thrown at people of certain cultures, they will not integrate. East Asians contribute more to economy than natives, but people from Arabic and African countries are proven to only be a cost for economy during their lifetime. European countries would have been much better off if they didn't let anyone from these destinations, arrested and sent back whoever from there gets in, and spent the saved money on lowering taxes for native parents and investing more in education and technology.
The thing that bothers me the most about livingin Germany is how densely populated it is compared to countries like the USA, or even France. We need less people, not more. The low birth rate could be a chance to help us reduce the population density, if only we wouldn't let in so many immigrants.
Germany would have been even more populated if millions of Germans didn't migrate to other places. There would be at least 80 million German origin migrants living outside of Germany. Germans have been leaving Germany for centuries now. Just imagine the density if 160 plus million Germans lived in Germany.
There is simply too many illegals arriving who has no future there, that put a strain on the process. And not enough is being done about it, its on a european level, but germany got it worse. International Systems are needed
I am living in Germany for 14 years, I did a PhD, worked as research scientist and now moved to industry. The highly skilled and hard-working people are not attracted by Germany due to the language barrier, the bureaucracy, and the taxation. Usually those people have better choices such as Canada, US, UAE...However people not willing to work and looking only for getting social helps than Germany is a very good option for them
OMG! I’m shocked to learn an advanced European country like Germany hasn’t gone digital for these records. If this doesn’t change, the government should at least double the staff. Hire a team to strictly digitalize these records.
German immigration is sticking to paper, to make legalization of foreigners as slow and frustrating as possible (German industry meanwhile, have been a pioneer of Industry 4.0 --- digitation, robotics, automation --- for a long time).
Funny af 😂😂 What Germany is not the hypermodern Powerhouse it was long time ago? Buildings that looked modern 40 years ago dont do today? They want to make me speak german?! In Germany?! 😂😂 But they integrate quickly, they alredy start complaining about the weather.
I doubt it she can't even speak English or German and wants to teach a school of German and English speaking students...good luck tho maybe she can shuffle learning two languages while teaching
Did you even watch the video? It says she passed her B2 German exam - she's at least conversational, if not yet proficient, in the language. And her goal is to teach kindergarten students, for which a solid foundation in B2 German is sufficient as she would have mastered all the grammatical rules and have a decent, primary school level of vocabulary.
Kindergarten in German refers to preschool (under 6 years old) and usually has multiple teachers in a classroom. I am confident her language level is allredy there
It’s amazing the sense of entitlement. People with absolutely no ethnic connection nor a long-standing, demonstrated affinity towards German culture feel that Germany is just a piece of land they can squat on. Thank the leftist who’ve promoted the notion that it would be quite fine if German culture was vanquished. Support AFD.
its not that easy, I worked in germany and highly skilled workers can produce easily using english. Learning german with the solely purpose to live in Germany is not productive...it requires LOT of time that could have been invested in your own skills or the high level of english that allows you to get the knowledge of your work...and finally, even studying german abroad, you will never catch up a german native speaker so.... Do you understand the problem? you cannot beat a german native speaker in their own language and equality of skills, so you need to beat him in skills (high skills requires english) in order to work in Germany, once you're in you can practice and focus in german...but studying german abroad is a waste of LOT of money and time...mainly because german is reduced to few countries and the mass media, resources and population is tiny compared to the massive communities of English, Spanish or french
I always advise all my foreign friends who are qualified to not come to Germany. Difficult language, huge bureaucracy, no appreciation (Germans think you are less than when you are not European and that they can treat you like a servant), bad weather and bland food (if it wasn’t for foreign cuisines we’d be finished), very slow digitalisation etc.
Depends. Latinos or Asians are very welcome here although they are not Europeans. The last 2 years Ukrainians too. Greeks or Bulgarians are not that welcome although they are "Europeans"...And German food is good even if it does not have rich variety
Its not just the bureaucracy but also the people. They are cold, dont like smalltalk, avoid eye contact, rarely even say Hello or respond to a smile and if youre a foreigner its even worse.
smalltalk is a waste of time anyway.. not talking to strangers is not COLD.. thats just your impression cause they probably do it where you are from.. seems like you dont understand german society
Not everyone in Germany is cold or doesn’t do small talk. It kind of depends what part you live in as well. But then maybe I am not your typical German 🤷♀️I work at a driving school and I have people from all over the world coming in, and I love it! To me everyone is welcome over here as long as you don’t try to use our system for your benefit.
@@alternativetierheilpraxisc7936your system targets everyone and it’s not fair. People must not learn your lifestyle just because they are in your country,you guys too try to learn from the foreigners,so that they should be some level of understanding and that could help bring people together, it should not be only your way like other people where they come don’t have a way of life the mentality needs to change for a better world. You See German people hating because you can’t speak their language,come on it’s your language not the foreigners language,these foreigners came from somewhere and they have a language they have been speaking since birth ,you can’t automatically want someone to start speaking your language just like that. Put yourself in their shoes too
@@50_in_your_21_daily honestly if I was to move to a different country I would certainly learn the language. Might not be perfect but I would do it out of respect for the people. This is why I didn’t move to Sweden. I know it would have been super easy to get by with English but if you truly want to belong you have to speak their language. I simply didn’t want to learn 🤷♀️and if I retire somewhere other than Germany as is my plan I will learn that language before even moving there. Again out of respect for the people there.
definitely depends on who you are, and if you're willing to integrate. There is a big difference form people from South America and ppl from the middle east...
Done that, migrated to Germany, I tried to integrate but never truly felt welcomed or at home. learnt the language and made friends but after 12 years I couldn’t cope any longer. The culture is cold, not bad but extremely cold. I was in the north which was harder. Left in 2000 for the UK, country I since call my home, my country and I love 🥰 Heaven of Equality, warmth and opportunities, achieved my goals which in Germany would have been impossible through discrimination, just my accent was a huge barrier. In the South was much better so it depends where you go. Still I am grateful to Germany, I’ve learnt a lot and yes there is a lot of bureaucracy but is the reason why everything works as it should. Their organisation is amazing and something I admire. This was almost 2.5 decades ago so might be different nowadays.
You will feel at home in your own African or middle eastern country where you will find your own people and culture. Europe has no moral obligation to become multicultural, for us to lose our European ethnic identity and to be reduced to a minority on our own motherland. We have the right to preserve our culture, values and European identity
I will say British people have a warmth to them. My grandpa was 100% ethnically Cornish in Australia and in Australia ther warmth from the British lives on very much I found I also got on with Irish people a lot very talkative and open hearted Germans tend to be reserved in the extreme the polar opposite. Latin Americans are also quite warm@funmilolaogunsola2989
I’m a tourist of Germany every year. I am an American citizen for 35 years and when I go to Germany I find that German people are not as friendly as Americans. I try to stay near the military bases where my family lives, I have 3 German grandchildren that I hope they grow up to be integrated into the society, otherwise they are welcome to my home in America 🇺🇸
yeah right, thats why the Native British people are moving in masse to Germany and other European coutnries, while the other way around is quite rare... unless you are someone froma country like hungary, poland, latvia, or a young person from a country where there is barely work, such as spain, or italy.. and even a lot of those left the UK
@maneshipocrates2264 that's done by a few illiterate individuals but obviously the media likes take advantage over the situation. Some migrants are doing illegal activities like cable theft, money londering, currently they are doing illegal mining. In Zimbabwe or Rwanda or Botswana you would never do that because governments are strict. If you want to see xenophobia, go to an Ethiopian community and try to marry their woman and see what happens. Don't listen to everything you hear, think deeper
It could be that the indigenous population is tired of seeing a never ending train of people just showing up and expecting to live and work in whatever country they think they deserve to live in.
As someone moving to Germany next year, if everything goes well, this worries me... I'm from SEA and I feel like some of our infrastructures are better and well digitalized than in some first-world countries.
I wouldn't go there. Time and again I hear the horror stories of ultra highly qualified (phd holders, researchers) people and they don't like it and are waiting to flee elsewhere the second they can. Unwelcoming society (and mind you I'm not talking of refugees), hellish bureaucracy, high taxes, rigid AF, unforgiving weather, and last, the glass ceiling for foreigners: no matter qualifications they'll always try and help a national.
High taxes and low wage growth is sad. You can build up your resume and move to somewhere else though but its going to get harder in Germany, median age crossed 46 this year, one of the highest in the world that too after so many immigrants.
They hear about all the problems of becoming part of the system, and yet they still choose to come here, I will never understand that part, also for every generation that is born, they seem to hate us more and more, if it’s so bad here, why not find a more suitable place to live, or even better, make the country that you move away from, a better place by coming together as a people. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but it might just be an illusion.
Its like all the people now who are flocking to the US with no plan or money with children expecting a house and free food and so on , its like what did you expect to happen and then they get mad at us. Its all so tiresome and I have no sympathy left . Theyve done this to themselves and have to take responsibility.
The man is very lucky to get indefinite leave to stay in Germany. He says the next step is to get German citizenship and in my opinion it should not be granted until that person applying for it should have worked in Germany for at least ten years to show their patriotism, contribution and dedication. Otherwise it should be viewed as an economic migrant.
@@erick2214 even if he bonds with a German woman, if he does not go out to work and live on benefits, he shouldn't be granted citizenship as people like that are there for the economic benefits, not for the country.
People were surprised about the bureacracy in EU and germany in specific ? Then they didn't do their due diligance and maybe aren't the best migrants to have. I was prepped for my migration status

German bureaucracy is holding back Germany. IMO in many sectors in German society, people spend too much energy and time for things that are not likely to happen -- Fo example, why do you need to submit so many documents every time to extend a residence permit? Can't they be processed electronically like in other countries? What I see at the immigration office is that people manually check all these papers and type exactly what I have already written in the form. Please don't get me wrong; most people whom I met in the immigration office were quite polite. But once I had to wait a month simply because they changed the application form into a "new form", and mine was written in the "old form", which is essentially the same but missing 2-3 extra lines of some legal stuffs (who cares?).
This year will be my 20th year here in Germany, and it still never fails to surprise me how naive and full of expectations people who come here are. To me, this is exactly like those Germans who move to places like Mallorca and are like, "Oh, I can't do business here because I don't speak Spanish!" and then wonder why their idea failed. It doesn't matter where you move to. You need the absolute basics under your belt to get off to a good start. This "advice" is obviously not for those who are coming here as refugees seeking legitimate asylum from war zones or other imminent dangers. What I suggest you do before arriving in Germany as a regular migrant: - Research the culture of the place you're moving to. I don't just mean general German culture. I mean region-specific culture. Some places in Germany are much more conservative and homogenous. - Research the job market. Are your skills or education sought after here? If not, you'll face tough competition. - Learn the language if you have the opportunity BEFORE moving here. B2 is the bare minimum, in my opinion. This will help minimize many of the struggles you'll have upon arrival. - Get all your educational documents "anerkannt" or officially recognized before moving here. Not all education you have will be recognized by the German government as a sufficient equivalent of the standards here. - Get all your official documentation, such as birth certificate, any official work documents, and other official papers like marriage certificates translated into German and notarized.
b2 in germany is a total must, to go easy in the country, but I could say B1 is enough...right? I mean, LOT of people could feel their time wasted before reaching B2 level without living in Germany...Lot of german students are mainly 20-35 years old, due to english as the main language in schools and german gets an interest for people at university or after graduate....At those ages people put in balance learning a whole new language or improving the universal english....and that's the problem. I mean B2 level without living in Germany costs LOT OF MONEY, lot of time (easily 3 years focused on it) and if you work in your area of expertise and wants to improve, that time dilutes between your profession, acquiring new skills and the massive wall that is B2 german. most of people that I know that learnt german with me, got the wall in B1 without knowing that B2 is the true black hole, and I didn't scape from it yet. In my opinion, people should come to Germany with B1 and enjoy the typical german struggles, in one hand they learn the warm german welcome and so they know if they ''fit'' in the society, and in the other hand they get it as part of the experience....

@@x-men69-96 I think what defines if a country is ahead or behind in bureaucracy is how effectively the government works with all its protocols. Taking into account all of Germany's (numerous) problems, you cannot compare it to what the USA is going through. It has an ex-president that broke the confidence in the voting system, one of the pillars of democracy. Both are federal states, but you really cannot compare Germany and USA, even when dealing with a tough subject such as migration. You had Republican politicians in the US fooling migrants into buses and dropping them in front of Democrat politicians' residences. I believe this would never have happened in Germany and if so, the responsible would be severely punished and had is political career destroyed. All this technology is useless if the country doesn't function, in my opinion.
Immigrants or refugees do not care or think that when in Germany or other rich countries the number of refugees and immigrants increases too high, how will native people live? Because they have to shoulder excessive expenses, even the apartment is not enough and what will their children be like?
It amazes me how the embassy always thinks that people want to migrate. I'm Kenyan and my husband is German. We decided to live in Kenya. I love my motherland.
What a lot of complaining! It is the same for Europeans moving to another country outside EU, why don't you film that. The bureaucracy may be extensive but it is far better than in their home countries where everything is for sale due to corruption. To go from Colombia to Germany just to try to see if you can live on your own makes absolutely no sense, then try Brazil. Lets face it everyone comes to Europe for the opportunities and then complain when they have to go through the same process everyone else has to go through. Yes bureaucracy is sometimes really annoying, but it is for everyone and not only for refugees or migrants. Why dont you compare it with the systems of these peoples own country and look at the pros and cons. That would make more sense.
Wao, este vídeo toco mi corazón. Durante covid tampoco tuve permiso de trabajo. En general es una situación difícil para todos, pero me siento agradecido de haber sido recibido en Alemania y a ayudarles a continuar haciendo de su país el mejor❤.
I feel embarrassed as German that to expect the minimum basic language skill is seen as a problem. How do people expect to work without it?
@geranienbaum Not possible. You might need in addition. Trust me I work in HR.
Same here in America.. there’s a sense of entitlement that the American tax payer owes the world, not just immigrants. When something happens anywhere, we’re expected to even give our lives for strangers.. non Americans to fight for these people? Many non Americans are envious or just down right hateful of American ways, so why should we help anyone? It should be every man for himself.
@@sw.7519 it is in Berlin
@geranienbaum not, that is the main problem. People expect to move to another country and change the culture. German is compulsory for proper integration.
Why should they bother to learn German ? Germans can learn to speak their language . didnt you see the middle eastern immigrant woman in finland who was complaining to the interviewer that there are too many Finns in Finland and it annoys her greatly? how is she supposed to cope with all these Finns everywhere ? You really think they care about learning to speak German ?
We need educated and skilled people in germany who actually want to learn the language, respect our laws and culture and basically are willing to integrate into our society. What we dont need are the millions and millions of uneducated people that come here to demand food, shelter and money and want just to live of our social system while we germans have to pay for it with our taxes.
Just like the US is now.

Let me make this clear, Europe has no moral obligation to become multicultural. We have different values and our values should be respected. Europeans should not be reduced to a minority on our own motherland. This is our land
You are right on this ,no country with humongous native in the world has the moral obligations on being a multicultural society if they don't want to, so let be clear that what your country has been facing is that your country has open its door to the refugees from the middle east ,so therefore they are not an asset ,but migrants worker and professional who are highly educated are an asset to your country ,bear in mind that no land belongs to anyone of us, but it's about choosing who you invite in from the beginning. If one doesn't want to assimilate into the Western free society and has the intention to create social and religious disparity in society ,then you have the right to tell them to go elsewhere.
@@melvyncarrot4741 you said "no land belongs to anyone" but human history disagrees with you. For thousands of years kings have conquered lands while the inhabitants of the lands would fight back and put up a resistance. Different Native American tribes would wage war and fight eachother to expand their territory (land). When kings wanted to build an empire they went conquering foreign lands and the inhabitants of those lands would fight back. No one is just going to sit there and say "hey everything belongs to everyone. Everything is up for grabs" life doesn't work like that and neither does human nature. If that's the case then go build a house and don't put a lock on it. Your house doesn't belong to you. It's for anyone who just wants to barge in
The erroneous idea of "no land belongs to anyone" is not natural and not normal and in fact I would even label Marxist and communist. Because communists don't believe people can own land or property. Your wrong. EUROPE IS OUR LAND and we have the right preserve our culture, values and European identity. We will not be reduced to a minority on our own motherland.
by the way it was the government that had opened the borders. The government forced this on us. There was no vote or anything so don't say that we the people invited them because we never did. It was our government that did

They have now Europe. No need more to learn German. This was the plan. A colony from South America.
I mean why should it be very fast? You come to a new country without a language, without skilled field knowledge, you just fall in love on a plane and expect to just arrive and get all the benefits of permanent resident? They also need to consider how beneficial you will be to the country and not just a tax burden on working people...I came to Germany and it took almost 7 years of working and paying taxes to actually get the residence permit, and some people expect this to happen when they just arrive.
I would expect work and residence permits to be very fast. I work in IT and we have a lit of people coming for a few years, paying much more taxes than receiving benefits and then usually leaving. I would be in favor of a temporary, very fast given work and residence permit for highly skilled workers
Wouldnt you have liked to have it easier? Thats what I thought 🤪
That's a ridiculous thing to say.
If the restrictions need to be stricter then fair enough.
But rejections also takes years...
It's not about making a system more lenient or strict but more efficient. Whatever the decision is to be. Slowness is not good for anyone also for a person who in case of rejections would want to move on within his/her life.

I went to college in Germany, still go see friends. I wish immigrants would integrate to their culture instead of pushing theirs into German throats. Understanding their bureaucratic system is part of integration too.
Why is all the onus on immigrants. Its not like you are not taxing immigrants while they contribute much more to German economy. So why is it only upto immigrants. Never seen any german own it that yes , we should be more welcoming too if we want to survive as a country and economy.
I think you don't understand their frustration, it's not about immigrants integrating into the German culture it's about how difficult they make it for immigrants.
You are obviously missing the point . 😂.
No one is trying to force their culture on germans, as a matter of fact ,germans are not even that open for the conversation.
If Germany claims they want to maintain their ailing economy, then they need to remove certain unnecessary red tapes.
There are smarter ways to work around it. For examples for international students ,Germany can make a mandatory integration semester , an international student will have a hard time juggling work , class and integration. It doesn't work that way

Went to Germany as a young man, from 1981 to 1999, learned the language which has a beautiful structured phraseology to it, loved the food, admired the culture, in generally treated very well, worked hard, got paid the national rate, sometimes more. Bureaucracy exists in every country, in Germany, it is a little daunting, but I found that once you were in the system it worked fine in relation to the health service, religious taxes, car registration, further education, and so on. Sadly I had to return home due to personal reasons. I had hoped to live my life there, brought many systems and things back with which to this day I adhere to. Currently, in Germany, they have taken in upwards of a million people coming inwards, all with diverse experiences of their own civil services, lax or otherwise. A robust bureaucracy can deal with this. For me, it was a tedious slog through the system, but the rewards were well worth it. I miss Germany, I owe Germany a lot, thanks from an Ausländer.

Getting citizenship or even a work permit in a country SHOULDN'T be easy. There should be an expectation of having the language learned, established living conditions, and established employment when you move to a new country and not expect the government to fund it.
True, although I will replace the word "easy" with "taken lightly" . At the end of the day nothing should be made needlessly difficult if the right requirements are set for people to meet.
Should language requirements be set for people looking to naturalize absoooolutely, since such a person can then apply for government positions and needs to understand German standards.
Should a person coming to Germany to complete a 1 year project then leave be held to the same standard of language and integration requirement? Maybe not.
Making things needlessly difficult doesn't necessarily weed out bad actors but certainly affects good actors .
It shouldn’t be easy if Germany doesn’t need any workers.
Even after continuous migration, Germany lacks 400000 workers per year. Your most of the industries are already moving to China and other Asian countries because of lack of workers.
If you don’t have immigration then
Who will work in Supermarkets, Nurse, cleaners, kindergarten, delivery guys, plumbers, construction workers and lot more blue and white collar jobs?
Because of stubborn language problem people choosing Netherlands, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada.
Anyway, I agree on your citizenship point.
I do agree totally… The rest of the world have to match up to the German standard… Simply…

Digitalisation is the way to go, in my home country I can do every bureaucracy in the government app. It would be lifechanging even for Germans
I lived in Germany to work as an engineer and left after a year. The stress is not even remotely worth it. When I left my company, they attempted to bill me what would have been €2000 for apparently not fulfilling my hours and I had to argue with them and raise hell for them to realise that they had made an error and if I didn’t pull out my phone and get them on tape admitting it, I’m 100% sure I would be sitting with that nonsensical bill as I type this.
The bureaucracy is ridiculous on all levels and applied very harshly on foreigners, to the point where my German friends had a very hard time believing what I had to deal with.
Leaving was a very easy decision that had an immediate positive effect on my mental health.
“If you don’t like it here then go back to where you came from” is a very popular German phrase that subtly implies that Germany is the only country worth immigrating to. It’s not. There are other thriving economies that are also in need of skilled workers. Countries that are much more accommodating. If you have the option, it is worth considering.
Sorry about your experience,what country did you move to
I wouldn’t move to Germany , just because of their language. So difficult and not really fun to speak either. There is no point to leave somewhere if I don’t speak their language.
Don't go to the Netherlands. Avoid at all costs.

@@sia9907 Well, now that Geert Wilders has won the election . . .
I have been living in Germany for 14 months as skilled worker. The first day I moved into my new apartment, a German lady knocked on my door and gave me flowers, wishing me a good integration and life in the country. Some of my neighbours are very friendly, some are not. But that was also the case back in my homeland. I had major issues with with integration course and tax, however, I still think it is worth living here. I dont plan to stay permanently, but who knows.
where are you from?
This is a huge issue. People that already immigrated and successfully employed including skill workers in professions that has shortages, they are losing their jobs and life achievements to this problem. It's terrible how these Foreign Offices operate (or doesn't operate). They really need a restructure and digitization. And fire those who are on the constant "coffee breaks" for our taxes.
Here in Cologne it is (I believe) the worst! They doesn't reply on your E-Mails, it's impossible to get them on the phone. You are under constant stress if your permit is expiring.
I just got here in Cologne like a month ago for studies, bureaucracy here is surprisingly slow. Why should I wait for my giro-card to be delivered via post when I can collect it myself from the bank? I can't make online payments because I don't have access to my blocked account because I haven't received access to my bank account yet! :( I have to apply for residence permit in Jan as my visa will be expiring in March but only god knows what I'll be dealing with.
Good 'Im glad country's like Germany r making it harder on theses ppl, did u no a migrant in Australia gets about 3 times more assistance per year than any unemployed Australia n im talking around 60 odd thousand dollars a year there getting it all the diffrent benefits , i think its disgraceful.

@@davechristian7543 Yeah you're right, I gotta wait a few months before I can get an appointment to get real.
@@davechristian7543 Lol. Europeans do not realize how fast it is to open a bank account etc. in so called "third world" countries. I expected to walk in and walk out with a card, account number like in India when I went to the UK as a student. I needed an appointment at Barclay's to get another appointment to actually create the account. Not to mention, even transferring money within the same bank took 3 days. Had to ask my uncle to lend me cash since I had to wait for the bank account. Thankfully, there are the likes of N26 in continental Europe who make it slightly easier. Haven't been in Norway, Sweden etc. But heard they run more on cards than cash.
If your qualified to work in Germany etc then your qualified to work in your own country.
depends on the field of qualification. Germany has a monstrous industrial complex that most of the world doesn't has...And that industry needs millions of skilled workers. The problem? Most of these skilled workers would choose US, Netherlands or any Anglosphere country rather than Germany, that requires a new language from the beginning at ages (24-35) that are difficult, A culture that is not that much ''warm'' compared to anglosphere communities.
I worked in your country for a few years and the german culture is one of the most astonishing things that I appreciate the most as an experience of life, even nowadays that I am in my own country, I invest some time in German language, but there are moments in which I wonder if the clever move should be Invest all my time in English in order to get better results in the long term!
I think what happens to me is common between other skilled immigrants that must choose between improving English or learning German. I could learn or improve German in 4-5 years but even so, I could never catch up a native speaker, and going to Germany to work is not that easy unless you are of the religion of peace and freedom! at my age...that's a lot of time that could be invested in improving english and that always give you profits
Germany wants to make sure they are not allowing potential bad people to live in their country...that is a smart thing to do
But we fail miserably 😂
Yeah but we try more now I think. Gaslighting through MSM seems to fail and people paying more attention. Things can change fast if people built a common consensus on what’s going wrong. Might be optimistic but that’s all we have left for now
SURE that's why most homeless people on the street are German, it's shows the system working.
If you want to go to a country. YOU ADJUST THEIR SYSTEM! This world is too entitled.
They complain about their home country and the one that they invaded.
I was an exchange student in Germany last year. Extending my Visa was not only stressful but humiliating. I only had to defend my thesis and leave, that's it, yet they insulted me, made me wait for months, asked me for an absurd amount of money without a day's notice, and refused to speak in English to me at the immigration office while making remarks about "how they also needed to eat and 150 euros wasn't that much" (my German friend told me this).
IHow come no one at the immigration office knew English? I can only imagine what would happen if we refused to speak English at an immigration office in Mexico. US Americans alone would start the riots.
I did try to learn German, reached A2 level during my semester exchange, but there was no way I could have handled German paperwork at this level, that's why I brought my friend.
From the comments I get that a great amount of Germans would celebrate what I experienced which honestly really sucks.
I don't wish this upon anyone. May you all never be treated as subhuman
wow….!!!!! I am Oh So terribly sorry that you had to go through this as here in New York City at least, so many languages are mandated to be spoken at all immigrant offices, social work agencies, medical centers , clinics and hospitals with the halo if either a live or a telephonic Interpreter….. And you can pass your Driver’s License test in your Native language….. as a professional longtime Social Worker, Health Worker, Educatir & Presenter, I always take my time to really respectfully speak to some of my complaining clients about the USA Immigration system & let them know that it is most certainly far worse than it is here in many other countries!
It's the German way of saying "we may need cheap qualified labour, but don't really want you here" 😂
The irony is that while highly or moderately qualified immigrants suffer that bureaucracy, society, and even weather lol, (society willing or not) at the same time they do take in people with the absolute worst personal and professional backgrounds.
Make up your minds already! Be frank about the issue at least, instead of beating around the political bushes.
Advocate for domestic population birthing incentives and say no to unjustified mass immigration.
Native Europeans have a right to preserve their identity.
Mere people didn't build Germany. Germans did. We have immigration policy for a reason. If mass immigration was justified, then we wouldn't have immigration policy and borders.
Not Germany whole Europe is run in this path. They just want to use immigrants as a slave what is a modern way of what they did in 16-18th century.

Actually it does, trade agreements when signed also includes immigration stats quite often, lot of countries negotiate this and historically that has always been the case. For example lets say why would India allow tens of billions worth of contracts to German companies in various sectors if they aren't planning to employ people from the country? Two Indian airlines bought close to 100 billion worth of orders from Airbus, in return Airbus hired close to 1800 high skilled people for their offices in Toulouse and Hamburg as well as establish offices within India to employ even more and this included Indians as well hence migration happened. Those companies get money and keep the French and Germans employed at the same time provide employment to Indians. Trade and immigration always goes hand in hand in most circumstances. And yes Germans do go everywhere, not as many as India, China, UK or USA but still, there are close to 50k Germans who work in India and hundreds of thousands of Germans go to work in USA, Australia, Singapore everywhere. Its not a one sided thing. I ove your hypocrisy too when millions of Germans immigrated to USA and Canada but you don't want anyone to somehow come to Germany.Quite convenient for a stagnating economy isn't it?@geranienbaum

I was born in Namibia, which is an ex German colony. To this day, there are daily flights between the 2 countries and there is a large German population. The majority of the native population speak Afrikaans (from Dutch, another coloniser of Namibia), and many have German as a second or third language. We have German schools and many of the buildings,food, etc are German influenced. Namibian diamonds are all over Europe.
I don't know one German person that can speak even 1 of Namibia's 13 native languages. I'm sure most Germans in Namibia can't even name the languages. Most Germans in Germany dont even know about Namibia.

Making an appointment to make an appointment is just out of this worlds bureacracy. First of all Germany needs skilled workforce from abroad not vice versa. There are many skilled expats living in Germany always under the pressure of Visa cancellation. Meeting with officials of Immigrant Office is always nightmare. Thier prejudice against foreigners are outrageuous. I know their job is not easy, since half the visitors dont even speak proper German and make typical excuses and complaints to get their Visa renewed. But it does not neccessarily mean we are all the same. I for example came to Germany to study at first and now graduated and doing decent job and paying same taxes as Germans. In order to get my Bluecard I need just couple more years. Still I feel very very unwelcomed at the Immigration officer. When I first time tried to renew my Visa, I kicked out of no reason, just because Officer lady was not in the mood. Since then I faced many absurd demands from Immigration officers, like bringing two copies of my files, or forgot my pen to sign, or not giving standart pass picture etc. Getting appointement is just difficult as winning in lottos. In big cities as Berlin, people wait at least 12 hours outside to get an appointment. Online booking jut dont work out here somehow. Germany is flooded with refugees with no skills and proper education, who lives off unemployment and taxpayers money. Germany needs to stop those troublemakers getting into country. Eventhough I am a MIgrant myself, I dont want to live people have no basic culture understanding, language, and proper civilized attitude. I came to Geramany, to avoid living with such troublemakers not feeding them with my taxes. Due to these kind of people, people like me is facing prejudice and burocracy from German authorities. They also need to distinguish their attitude.
Totally agree. That's why migrants should apply for asylum from their home countries and wait for the denial there without entering the country.

As a German with volunteer background in immigration matters I can say that Germany is complicated when it comes to bureaucracy issues. Especially if you grew up with entirely different structures. Would be the same for us if the roles were reversed. It is not ok that legal immigrants such as international students have to ASK FOR PERMISSION to go to driving school and get a German driver's license. They are here legally already. On top of that offices are understaffed to even process everything in a timely manner. We could absolutely get rid of that. We can't claim to be 'such an immigrant country' and then demand that folks ask permission to do the most basic things in life.
I do NOT agree with that expression that language and integration courses are so demanding. It sounds like it's illegitimate to make the part of the integration process. They are part of a successful integration. Everyone who comes here and thinks they can get by without German is absolutely delusional and will find out the hard way.
EU citizens are not expected to do these courses. The Colombian, if she got a Spanish passport and moved to Germany, would be exempt. Same if she had a non German EU partner. Thankfully, the EU is slowly trying to get rid of this BS.
I don't believe would be the same for German people, if you come to Brazil for example people will be extremely friendly. I went there twice and is difficult to get in touch socially and in a political level with people, if you need information, people do not have any good will to try to help others, here people even try to find out if you have a place to stay, this is the biggest difference.
Having lived in Germany, I can assure you that depending on your situation, learning german can be absolutely pointless. If you intend to live there forever, then it's probably useful, but other than that, where would you ever use it? When you go to your bank once every five years? It just doesn't have much value.

So let me get this straight, Catalina speaks spanish as her native tongue, she wants to teach little kids in germany (I'm sure their parents want them to learn the language the proper way) and she's complaining about that she needs a level B in german ????? That's so incredibly low, level B is rudimentary for your existence in given environment let alone teaching native kids, it's extremely benevolent and she should be thankful for it and not complain.
I am sure she is thankful otherwise she won't be putting in effort at all especially whiles she is in her country and not even knowing if she will stay in Germany. People move to Europe taking the supposedly easy route, fake marriages and the other which I will not name. So I really respect people who follow the law and do their best to meet the requirements to come work and earn an honest wage.
Let's respect the people who wish to learn the language and adapt to the social norms unlike the illegal migrants who want to introduce the islam and sharia laws. We need a balance.
You got nothing straight, just demonstrated your dmb as rocks, she didnt complain. If the german parents want the children to learn the language the proper way they better pay private schools cause theres a reason german agencies are recruiting foreigners and paying them to learn german.
Is she complaining though? Seems like they just asked her questions and she answered?
@@artic_dhyes, she is complaining about how hard it is learning it on the B2 level, which is exactly what I was alluding to. I merely punctated the fact she should be grateful C1 level isn't required, which is the first level on which a person could proclaim they speak the language. 😂 Yes they need them, but at the same time it'll boost her standard of life tenfold. This is not manual labor, a kindergarten teacher has a tremendous influence on the development of a child, especially in the language sector and B2 is incredibly low for that.
Guess what? Immigrating to a new country with a different culture and language is hard! I emigrated, learned the language for years, spent thousands, dealt with a decade of bureaucratic uncertainty, job capture, and time away from family, all in the pursuit of what I believed would be a better life. It's not up to the host country to accommodate you. You made the choice to move, you need to put in the work. The entitlement of these people is horrifying.
I’m currently in the intensive German course (as a German citizen though, long story but was born here but grew up in America). It’s a great course but too many people don’t take it seriously, it’s a major problem. I’m the only student out of 23 that actually seems to have truly taken in any information. The rest just do the bare minimum and don’t study on the side.
This is a lie. Many people take it easy but do not have the advantage you have. Imagine you don't understand German and have apply for permit as an adult who does not understand the language.
well, arent you just an overachiever. You must think you will be the only one that will make it.
Just another American talking about his/her privilege, nothing new.
Not sure it's fair to just say folks aren't taking it seriously. Speaking as someone who emmigrated to another country, there are a multitude of challenges foreingers go through when immigrating. Language, food, people, weather, poltitics, the list goes on. Let's not be uncecessarily critical without knowing the stories of these individuals.
I know many Germans living in South Africa and Namibia. Guess how many of them can speak any of the native languages? Guess how many of them can even name all of the native language. The best you can get is English with a heavy accent and they are applauded for it.
Bring a German person who lives in Africa and can speak an African language fluently, and I will be thoroughly impressed.
As a European who immigrated to Germany: if you can't wrap your head about the admin necessary to live in Germany, how are you going to do anything at all? Digitisation is obviously lacking, but that also goes for the migration system EU-wide. No one is in charge.
So people travel thousands of miles in "fear of their lives". Choose Germany...because you can't end up there by coincidence. Enjoying the social system. But waiting for an appointment is highly racist and not acceptable! Ganz mein Humor! ❤
I think people doesnt really understand something simple.. you emigrate so you are the responsable to integrate!
If you want to go out your country do it, but if you are not agree with integrate to other culture, or learn other lenguage, look for a country that doesnt required that.
Im from El Salvador living in The Netherlands, and here we see a lot of latin people and african people that get free lenguage lessons (asylum visas) and they just dont go, dont want to learn, work or integrate and just wait for the goverment payment. And people like me that came with other type of visa, have to pay all! Not benefit at all! So before you go out your country think good, if not your life in europe will be same or worst that in your own country.
As a Prussian, this is unacceptable, first take care of your indigenous population and those who want to be German not cluster fk we have now. Giving citizenship to everyone without care, nowonder everything is going down the drain for a country...

@@msf8297 Dealing with bureaucracy can indeed be challenging in various countries around the world. From India’s intricate paperwork to Russia’s administrative complexities, and from the stringent regulations in China to the bureaucratic hurdles faced in Brazil and Italy, navigating these systems can often be overwhelming.
In countries like Nigeria, Venezuela, and Argentina, bureaucracy can significantly affect day-to-day life, while in Greece and France, administrative processes might feel extensive. The situation in Mexico, South Korea, Egypt, and Turkey is no different, presenting their unique bureaucratic landscapes.
These complexities extend to Ukraine, Indonesia, the Philippines, Iran, Pakistan, Spain, Poland, Thailand, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Colombia. Each country has its own set of paperwork, regulations, and processes that can pose challenges, making it understandable why individuals might seek ways to simplify or expedite these procedures.
Indeed, navigating bureaucracy can sometimes lead people to prioritize their own convenience and see their personal issues as more pressing than anything else. This complexity is universal, and while some experiences may seem more challenging than others, it’s a shared sentiment worldwide. 😊

Basically, we have no room for foreign-nationals who have no desire to assimilate culturally and integrate socially.

@@user-1rg9f2-g3l6d Yes, for every 20 foreigners who decide to go home, there's one who decides to stay. Most of these vloggers are rich enough to send their kids to international schools where there's mostly foreign kids and the entire program is English-based. There are also some who can not afford that and send their children to Japanese schools where there's a high chance they will get bullied constantly. I also have some friends who married to a Japanese person and decided to stay, though they are still thinking of eventually moving when their kids grows up a bit as Japanese women in particular prefer to raise their kids in a familiar environment. Still, only 1% of the population of Japan consists of foreigners, and most of those are east Asians who have relatively similar cultural background to the Japanese. Western foreigners living here are very few, and in my experience it's the kind of people who never felt at home in their own countries who can do all kinds of compromises in such a foreign culture.
Look how much money France has thrown into integration of immigrants for the last 30 years. It failed totally, no matter how much money you thrown at people of certain cultures, they will not integrate. East Asians contribute more to economy than natives, but people from Arabic and African countries are proven to only be a cost for economy during their lifetime. European countries would have been much better off if they didn't let anyone from these destinations, arrested and sent back whoever from there gets in, and spent the saved money on lowering taxes for native parents and investing more in education and technology.

Germany would have been even more populated if millions of Germans didn't migrate to other places.

They're slow on that. It's a shame.
German immigration is sticking to paper, to make legalization of foreigners as slow and frustrating as possible (German industry meanwhile, have been a pioneer of Industry 4.0 --- digitation, robotics, automation --- for a long time).
If they don't like it, they can always go home. Bye bye.
No same in non white countries
Immigrants are starting to discover why germans themselves dont even want to live in germany lol
Lol
Funny af 😂😂
What Germany is not the hypermodern Powerhouse it was long time ago? Buildings that looked modern 40 years ago dont do today? They want to make me speak german?! In Germany?! 😂😂
But they integrate quickly, they alredy start complaining about the weather.
Could be because they dont feel at home in their own country🎉 im danish and I would feel that way, in some areas of germany
If they feel bad in germany, they can always make germany better and safer place by going back to home 😊
German natives facing migrant bureaucracy
german natives don't face pai in the A--- like others
I doubt it she can't even speak English or German and wants to teach a school of German and English speaking students...good luck tho maybe she can shuffle learning two languages while teaching
Did you even watch the video? It says she passed her B2 German exam - she's at least conversational, if not yet proficient, in the language. And her goal is to teach kindergarten students, for which a solid foundation in B2 German is sufficient as she would have mastered all the grammatical rules and have a decent, primary school level of vocabulary.
Kindergarten in German refers to preschool (under 6 years old) and usually has multiple teachers in a classroom.
I am confident her language level is allredy there
@@liliegoshiesplus by the end of the year, her language skills will definitely improve a lot!
Your sentence has multiple grammar mistakes. Maybe you should work on improving your English.
Germany is not ready to receive qualified workers, bottlenecks at immigration offices are a real problem
It’s amazing the sense of entitlement. People with absolutely no ethnic connection nor a long-standing, demonstrated affinity towards German culture feel that Germany is just a piece of land they can squat on. Thank the leftist who’ve promoted the notion that it would be quite fine if German culture was vanquished. Support AFD.
Are german taxpayers forced to pay for their homes while they can't work? Also who moves somewhere without learning the language???
Well people are "forced" to pay taxes... DOH
If they intended to stay and work in Germany they should have learned German before coming to Germany legally.
its not that easy, I worked in germany and highly skilled workers can produce easily using english. Learning german with the solely purpose to live in Germany is not productive...it requires LOT of time that could have been invested in your own skills or the high level of english that allows you to get the knowledge of your work...and finally, even studying german abroad, you will never catch up a german native speaker so....
Do you understand the problem? you cannot beat a german native speaker in their own language and equality of skills, so you need to beat him in skills (high skills requires english) in order to work in Germany, once you're in you can practice and focus in german...but studying german abroad is a waste of LOT of money and time...mainly because german is reduced to few countries and the mass media, resources and population is tiny compared to the massive communities of English, Spanish or french
They are not welcome, not wanted and not liked
So they broke up with each other because of the visa? He's already in Germany. I don't think so....
They broke up because of each other.
They didn't maintain their relationship only to ease his visa challenges
I always advise all my foreign friends who are qualified to not come to Germany. Difficult language, huge bureaucracy, no appreciation (Germans think you are less than when you are not European and that they can treat you like a servant), bad weather and bland food (if it wasn’t for foreign cuisines we’d be finished), very slow digitalisation etc.
what other points still . please elaborate
I'd NEVER move to Germany, ever
reason for that please@@pixiet7321
Depends. Latinos or Asians are very welcome here although they are not Europeans. The last 2 years Ukrainians too. Greeks or Bulgarians are not that welcome although they are "Europeans"...And German food is good even if it does not have rich variety
@@pixiet7321it can be good moving here even with difficulties. Its worthwhile
Its not just the bureaucracy but also the people. They are cold, dont like smalltalk, avoid eye contact, rarely even say Hello or respond to a smile and if youre a foreigner its even worse.
smalltalk is a waste of time anyway..
not talking to strangers is not COLD.. thats just your impression cause they probably do it where you are from..
seems like you dont understand german society
@@rekuku how is a german supposed to act?
Not everyone in Germany is cold or doesn’t do small talk. It kind of depends what part you live in as well. But then maybe I am not your typical German 🤷♀️I work at a driving school and I have people from all over the world coming in, and I love it! To me everyone is welcome over here as long as you don’t try to use our system for your benefit.
@@alternativetierheilpraxisc7936your system targets everyone and it’s not fair. People must not learn your lifestyle just because they are in your country,you guys too try to learn from the foreigners,so that they should be some level of understanding and that could help bring people together, it should not be only your way like other people where they come don’t have a way of life the mentality needs to change for a better world. You See German people hating because you can’t speak their language,come on it’s your language not the foreigners language,these foreigners came from somewhere and they have a language they have been speaking since birth ,you can’t automatically want someone to start speaking your language just like that. Put yourself in their shoes too
@@50_in_your_21_daily honestly if I was to move to a different country I would certainly learn the language. Might not be perfect but I would do it out of respect for the people. This is why I didn’t move to Sweden. I know it would have been super easy to get by with English but if you truly want to belong you have to speak their language. I simply didn’t want to learn 🤷♀️and if I retire somewhere other than Germany as is my plan I will learn that language before even moving there. Again out of respect for the people there.
definitely depends on who you are, and if you're willing to integrate. There is a big difference form people from South America and ppl from the middle east...
LoL. Hate to say this but yeah. Also depend on that particular person
Are you saying that people from the Middle East are more intelligent?
🤣🤣🤣 Joke of the century.
My middle eastern friends found Level B very easy to achieve 🤓
@@wilsonmanch6773 It definitively depends on the individual person, their intelligence and educational / academic background
There is huge cultural difference
Done that, migrated to Germany, I tried to integrate but never truly felt welcomed or at home. learnt the language and made friends but after 12 years I couldn’t cope any longer. The culture is cold, not bad but extremely cold. I was in the north which was harder. Left in 2000 for the UK, country I since call my home, my country and I love 🥰 Heaven of Equality,
warmth and opportunities, achieved my goals which in Germany would have been impossible through discrimination, just my accent was a huge barrier. In the South was much better so it depends where you go. Still I am grateful to Germany, I’ve learnt a lot and yes there is a lot of bureaucracy but is the reason why everything works as it should. Their organisation is amazing and something I admire. This was almost 2.5 decades ago so might be different nowadays.
You will feel at home in your own African or middle eastern country where you will find your own people and culture. Europe has no moral obligation to become multicultural, for us to lose our European ethnic identity and to be reduced to a minority on our own motherland. We have the right to preserve our culture, values and European identity
I will say British people have a warmth to them. My grandpa was 100% ethnically Cornish in Australia and in Australia ther warmth from the British lives on very much I found I also got on with Irish people a lot very talkative and open hearted Germans tend to be reserved in the extreme the polar opposite. Latin Americans are also quite warm@funmilolaogunsola2989
I’m a tourist of Germany every year. I am an American citizen for 35 years and when I go to Germany I find that German people are not as friendly as Americans. I try to stay near the military bases where my family lives, I have 3 German grandchildren that I hope they grow up to be integrated into the society, otherwise they are welcome to my home in America 🇺🇸
yeah right, thats why the Native British people are moving in masse to Germany and other European coutnries, while the other way around is quite rare... unless you are someone froma country like hungary, poland, latvia, or a young person from a country where there is barely work, such as spain, or italy.. and even a lot of those left the UK
Wtf , from cuba, from Colombia to Germany... ?
For those struggling to get a response with the migrationsamt, send faxes not emails. Shorter response times.
I love my country South Africa with all its imperfection, kindest people, great food, great weather.
And lots of xenophobia against other Africans
Where in south africa are you based because South Africa isn't a safe country at all
@maneshipocrates2264 that's done by a few illiterate individuals but obviously the media likes take advantage over the situation. Some migrants are doing illegal activities like cable theft, money londering, currently they are doing illegal mining. In Zimbabwe or Rwanda or Botswana you would never do that because governments are strict. If you want to see xenophobia, go to an Ethiopian community and try to marry their woman and see what happens. Don't listen to everything you hear, think deeper
@julioineza6052 East coast and we don't have an issue.
south africa are crocheting chokers. sorry jokers. it was proved infinite times
It could be that the indigenous population is tired of seeing a never ending train of people just showing up and expecting to live and work in whatever country they think they deserve to live in.
As someone moving to Germany next year, if everything goes well, this worries me...
I'm from SEA and I feel like some of our infrastructures are better and well digitalized than in some first-world countries.
I wouldn't go there. Time and again I hear the horror stories of ultra highly qualified (phd holders, researchers) people and they don't like it and are waiting to flee elsewhere the second they can. Unwelcoming society (and mind you I'm not talking of refugees), hellish bureaucracy, high taxes, rigid AF, unforgiving weather, and last, the glass ceiling for foreigners: no matter qualifications they'll always try and help a national.
Then stay there
High taxes and low wage growth is sad. You can build up your resume and move to somewhere else though but its going to get harder in Germany, median age crossed 46 this year, one of the highest in the world that too after so many immigrants.
Don't do it
If you're not sure, don't come...
I don't get it sorry.
They hear about all the problems of becoming part of the system, and yet they still choose to come here, I will never understand that part, also for every generation that is born, they seem to hate us more and more, if it’s so bad here, why not find a more suitable place to live, or even better, make the country that you move away from, a better place by coming together as a people. The grass always looks greener on the other side, but it might just be an illusion.
Its like all the people now who are flocking to the US with no plan or money with children expecting a house and free food and so on , its like what did you expect to happen and then they get mad at us. Its all so tiresome and I have no sympathy left . Theyve done this to themselves and have to take responsibility.
how rascist of the germans to insist on immigrants being able to communicate with other people in their country
Cry me a river lol
The man is very lucky to get indefinite leave to stay in Germany. He says the next step is to get German citizenship and in my opinion it should not be granted until that person applying for it should have worked in Germany for at least ten years to show their patriotism, contribution and dedication. Otherwise it should be viewed as an economic migrant.
well if you are bond with a german woman its easier I think? you get the total citizenship asap.
@@erick2214 even if he bonds with a German woman, if he does not go out to work and live on benefits, he shouldn't be granted citizenship as people like that are there for the economic benefits, not for the country.

Exactly !! They came to Germany to " help " the economy ???!?

German bureaucracy is holding back Germany. IMO in many sectors in German society, people spend too much energy and time for things that are not likely to happen -- Fo example, why do you need to submit so many documents every time to extend a residence permit? Can't they be processed electronically like in other countries? What I see at the immigration office is that people manually check all these papers and type exactly what I have already written in the form. Please don't get me wrong; most people whom I met in the immigration office were quite polite. But once I had to wait a month simply because they changed the application form into a "new form", and mine was written in the "old form", which is essentially the same but missing 2-3 extra lines of some legal stuffs (who cares?).
Implementing electronic systems for the whole country woulod cost billions..
politicians dont want to spend that
Another truthful introduction documentary was shared by an excellent ( DW ) documentary channel. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
send them out Germany... Love from Denmark....
They need to simulate the culture of the counties they immigrate to. Respect their beliefs and way of life not try to change it.
A teacher with broken german. Fantastic. B Levels lol
hilarious
This year will be my 20th year here in Germany, and it still never fails to surprise me how naive and full of expectations people who come here are. To me, this is exactly like those Germans who move to places like Mallorca and are like, "Oh, I can't do business here because I don't speak Spanish!" and then wonder why their idea failed.
It doesn't matter where you move to. You need the absolute basics under your belt to get off to a good start. This "advice" is obviously not for those who are coming here as refugees seeking legitimate asylum from war zones or other imminent dangers.
What I suggest you do before arriving in Germany as a regular migrant:
- Research the culture of the place you're moving to. I don't just mean general German culture. I mean region-specific culture. Some places in Germany are much more conservative and homogenous.
- Research the job market. Are your skills or education sought after here? If not, you'll face tough competition.
- Learn the language if you have the opportunity BEFORE moving here. B2 is the bare minimum, in my opinion. This will help minimize many of the struggles you'll have upon arrival.
- Get all your educational documents "anerkannt" or officially recognized before moving here. Not all education you have will be recognized by the German government as a sufficient equivalent of the standards here.
- Get all your official documentation, such as birth certificate, any official work documents, and other official papers like marriage certificates translated into German and notarized.
Language is the great equaliser!
b2 in germany is a total must, to go easy in the country, but I could say B1 is enough...right? I mean, LOT of people could feel their time wasted before reaching B2 level without living in Germany...Lot of german students are mainly 20-35 years old, due to english as the main language in schools and german gets an interest for people at university or after graduate....At those ages people put in balance learning a whole new language or improving the universal english....and that's the problem.
I mean B2 level without living in Germany costs LOT OF MONEY, lot of time (easily 3 years focused on it) and if you work in your area of expertise and wants to improve, that time dilutes between your profession, acquiring new skills and the massive wall that is B2 german.
most of people that I know that learnt german with me, got the wall in B1 without knowing that B2 is the true black hole, and I didn't scape from it yet.
In my opinion, people should come to Germany with B1 and enjoy the typical german struggles, in one hand they learn the warm german welcome and so they know if they ''fit'' in the society, and in the other hand they get it as part of the experience....
In America, everything is digital and AI. You can do almost anything online. Germany is too behind.

@atelier.distante u can apply DMV, passport, medical exam, food stamp, ssn, visa, appointment....online. Everything is kept in the cloud like medical records, ur criminal history,....tell me what is not true?
@@x-men69-96 I think what defines if a country is ahead or behind in bureaucracy is how effectively the government works with all its protocols. Taking into account all of Germany's (numerous) problems, you cannot compare it to what the USA is going through. It has an ex-president that broke the confidence in the voting system, one of the pillars of democracy. Both are federal states, but you really cannot compare Germany and USA, even when dealing with a tough subject such as migration. You had Republican politicians in the US fooling migrants into buses and dropping them in front of Democrat politicians' residences. I believe this would never have happened in Germany and if so, the responsible would be severely punished and had is political career destroyed. All this technology is useless if the country doesn't function, in my opinion.
I don’t really understand why to this, data is still kept on paper. Who does that??? Seriously!!!! As an IT graduate, I feel insulted
You somehow need to justify another useless government position for your political supporters
Cause changing a whole countries system costs BILLIONS.. no politicians wants to spend money on that
Immigrants or refugees do not care or think that when in Germany or other rich countries the number of refugees and immigrants increases too high, how will native people live? Because they have to shoulder excessive expenses, even the apartment is not enough and what will their children be like?

Some people are talented enough to speak Spanish, the most beautiful language in the world. Why they don’t go for Spain, which is more multicultural.
What a lot of complaining! It is the same for Europeans moving to another country outside EU, why don't you film that. The bureaucracy may be extensive but it is far better than in their home countries where everything is for sale due to corruption. To go from Colombia to Germany just to try to see if you can live on your own makes absolutely no sense, then try Brazil. Lets face it everyone comes to Europe for the opportunities and then complain when they have to go through the same process everyone else has to go through. Yes bureaucracy is sometimes really annoying, but it is for everyone and not only for refugees or migrants. Why dont you compare it with the systems of these peoples own country and look at the pros and cons. That would make more sense.
People fighting in comments as if Germany was their own country, its a pain I think lol hahahahaha
