![New Law: Becoming a German Citizen Faster! [2024 Update]](/img/tr.png)
Small note: at the start of the video I said "resident", what I really meant was "citizen".
Hope you guys didn't get confused :)
Hi Max, I have a really important question for which I need you to guide me. I am planning to start my Master's in coming winters in Germany, but I have heard that Germany as a country is falling into recession because of deindustrialization of its heavy sectors. Now, if that's true, it will definitely have an impact on the job market for us foreigners who come to Germany for study and then work. What do you think about it, is Germany a good job market for the next 10 years at least? Please answer me as I am one of your earliest subscribers and supporters and I need to clear my confusions. Thank you!
Also, is it good to do a business degree in Germany and find a job in that field? Like marketing and insights?
is students days count for germany citizenship new law
Eeeeeeeeeeeeee
3 years + 3 years until they Finish from studying the application😂😂
?
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Very clear and detailed video, but one important thing you forgot to mention is, the ADVANTAGES of getting the german citizenship, like be able to vote, apply for Beamter Jobs, borderless access to any EU country,
Although they might be beneficial for some, I think It's not that worth it for other european citizens(Italy, France, etc...)
Thanks for adding. I'm gonna make a separate video about German citizenship in the future ^^
This comment should be pinned lol thank you
Very true. I still think though that it is a big plus. You never know what will happen in the future to the EU. We might end up breaking up like the USSR so then half of the EU members will be on the bottom. Germany will still have an industry and a relatively strong economy.
Hello dear Max!
Thanks to you and your videos I’ve started a new chapter in my life here in Köln!
I couldn’t thank you enough for your precision and your ability to summarize the important information to very accessible videos!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and I hope we‘ll meet in Germany in the future, the beer is on me! ;)
Thanks for your nice comment! Wish you the best on your journey ^^
I'm waiting for every video that you post ,keep it up bro ❤
Thanks for your nice comment 🫶 Every Saturday 🤝
Good and well detailed video Max, I'm coming over to Germany for my masters in chemical engineering next month, and I'm a DAAD scholarship recipient. Hopely, I can follow this route. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Danke Schon!
Wish you the best man! Keep me updated ^^
@@maxyoko sure, I will bro👍
Thank you Max! We are German-Filipino. All your vlogs are very informative for us. My daughter would like to pursue university in Germany and i am watching your vlogs to get idea on how or where should i start.
Happy to have you here!
Hope I can provide some value to you :)
Excellent video. The information is well presented and the video is not too long. Keep up the good work!
Much appreciated! 🫶
Very good insight and informative video. I am in Japan for an exchange year and I feel like integration is even more difficult here compared to german. Also perfect video to show my japanese girlfriend that considers to do a exchange year in germany :D I personally think that japanese people have it the easiest in germany as the first european country to live in. Especially if they miss their culture going to Düsseldorf or being able to watch Sakura trees might be nice feature to feel more comfortable.
Thanks for sharing your story man ^^
Your content is excellent
Your comment is excellent
For me, the only extra benefit of German citizenship (compared to permanent residence) is freedom to work in other EU countries. For my field in engineering, there are not many other EU countries with better opportunities or financial incentives.
I am from Malaysia, and getting German citizenship also means renouncing my Malaysian passport, which already allows me to travel to many countries (rank 10th globally), and possibly a good retirement/children's education option in sunny, tropical weather.
This new policy would only have a strong draw to people from much poorer/desparate countries, which could also mean a steep gradient in cultural/mentality difference to German society
If I am not mistaken, the denouncing of your Malaysian citizenship if you apply for a German one comes from the Malaysian rules, because the guy just explained that non-EU nationals can still keep their primary citizenship and apply for a German citizenship.
We don't want people from poor countries! Nor "steep changes"
Make video on how to start startup or small side hustle in Germany and any funding option or program available in Germany.
Noted 🫡
I would definitely love such a video too.. with the way Max's video are summarized, on point and informational I'm sure it would be packed with useful info but still not too long
+1
There are videos available in German. ...You don't know German.
There might be others making those content
Prima!! Max, you are the best. Your Tanzanian fun living in Germany.
Many Thanks for your video Max...
Much Love....❤❤❤
Always welcome ❤️
Keep it up man ❤
Love u 🫶
If they hand out citizenships like that, it should tell you a lot about the state of the country.
They need ppl really bad
Love you brother ♥️♥️♥️🇧🇩🇧🇩
❤️❤️
the naturalization or Integration Test is for everyone coming from a decent democratic country easy peasy. For those coming from unsecure, war torned, strict extreme religion or dictator ruled country, the test could be a little bit hard but they need to keep learning the questions & answers. There are alot of Apps for Integration Test which shows you what did you get right and whats wrong.
I swear of god i can't thank you ❤❤ enough for these motivational and helpful videos ❤
I'm currently studying "Agriculture Enginering" in my country and planning to complete my studies in Germany (master) since its free and high quality education
Would you recommend that ?
You're very welcome!
I mean if it's free and high quality, why not come to Germany :)
Take the language to A2 and you will see economy raise 200%. This will be a KEY breaker. B1 for some people that works full time and has a wife its extremely and very COMPLICATED. Plus an exam? ALL of it is exams. Driver licence. EXAM. Language? Exam. Residence permit? EXAM.
Now that's a great news to hear. Thanks!
Good explanation my G❤
Appreciate it 🤝
Great video! :) Just got my citizenship application approved! So excited :D
Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations ^^
Please which state is that and what is their requirement that you submitted.
great video!
Thanks a lot 🫶
Hey Max, a very clear and informative video. Is the timeframe of 5 or 3 years also for people who are on a Freelancer Visa or only for people who are "employed" ? I am a freelancer artist (Singer, Songwriter) and completed 1 year in Germany so asking for this particular reason. Also, what about other things such as proof of payments to pension funds and social security, etc ? Any information on the same would mean a lot. Thank you
Thanks a lot man!
Love u 🫶
thank you for the content man
You're very welcome 🫶
Hi bro your contents really useful ☺️
Happy to hear that ❤️
I think that most people should reconsider acquisition of a German citizenship. Why? Everything that’s easy to get or achievable without much effort isn’t worth much.
Like the USA
Hey Max do you have any video managing your time as you have full time job and studying at the same time?
There is a video on my channel titled "How I work two jobs while being in university" :)
@@maxyoko i will check it thanks
I live in Germany but I ' m not interested in getting a passport, I already have my own Macedonian passport, I ' m satisfied already with the strength of my homeland's passport.
Hi, can you make a video on how to apply for an ausbildung, websites, and how you can get financial help from the BAB as a foreign 7 😊
A video about Ausbildung is already in preparation ^^
Absolutely nice video as always! So, henceforth it is better to say in the motivational letter, that i am going to stay in Germay for a long time instead of returning to my home country after graduating, isn’t it?
Appreciate your comment ^^
If you really want to stay in Germany, yes write it! They would love to read something like that
You have always been allowed to keep a US passport... that was an exception
Can you also do some video for German learning in German, bitte. 🙏
I have the Goethe B1, but not be able to use it 😅 in reality.
Need help 😅.🙏
I'm planning on doing a lot of videos about the German language this year!
Hi Max 👋 , I just want to know if Students in Germany are Paying Taxes or Not ?
And can U give us a website to search accommodation for students easily in the states of Germany ?
Thank U so much 👍
Yea you pay tax but i think that is only if you work a job. Check through his old videos you will find your answer
If you go over 11.604 Euro in your student job, you need to pay income tax if that is your question.
For accommodation I can recommend WG-Gesucht, Kleinanzeigen or ImmoScout
@@maxyoko Thank you so much Max , such a great content . ✅❤️
Your content is so helpful man, can you make a video about the Ausbildung in Germany?
Already in preparation ❤
Please! I am on my A level and thinking about doing a dual Ausbildung. But after asking people working there, they say it's almost impossible for a foreigner to be accepted.
Thankyou for detailed video ,
5 year duration include study duration or we have to stay 5 years after study ? As bachelors duration is 3 years and masters 2 years so 5 years can be completed like this , isn’t it ?
Also if one don’t get job after studying what he can do ?
The time as a student unfortunately doesn't count.
After graduation, you can either get a job seeker visa or a work visa depending on your employment status. In case you don't immediately find a job, you are given some time to orient yourself :)
Our stay as students will not be counted right? I think only those years count that you will have full-time employment, basically, the years that one spends as a student in Germany do not count?
Yes, ithas to be 5 years with a long-term permit, so as far as I know the student years don't count
In reality....it takes at least 6 months for paperwork
Yess typical German stuff
Hello thank you for the video everything was clear and understandable. I have question
May i leave the country in the process or i have to in Germany for 3 years without leaving?
Hey Max, do you have any examples of what is considered as "Special Integration Achievements" for naturalization after 3 years besides the vague description given? like for example i have C1 certifcate and graduated from German Uni do you have examples
Hi Max, I have a really important question for which I need you to guide me. I am planning to start my Master's in coming winters in Germany, but I have heard that Germany as a country is falling into recession because of deindustrialization of its heavy sectors.

I’m not the author himself, but the answer depends on your field, the particular city you’re planning to live in, your existing income, and, of course, your willingness to learn the language. For instance, if you are a German-speaking software engineer who is planning to stay in a small town in close proximity to a bigger one, then your outlook for life in general is quite positive.
Actually, the living standards are getting worse in the entire world, so there are fewer and fewer places where you could have a decent middle-class life, so I’m afraid the tendency you described is omnipresent.
But consider that: as a German citizen, you’re free to move to any other EU country without having to deal with unnecessary paperwork. Germany isn’t the worst place to spend five years living in, right? 😀
The period is reduced to just three years if the applicant is able to prove his social integration and language command.
@@mydpRu Hi Anon, thank you so much for your help! Based on the criteria you provided me, please help me, here's the further information about me:
Field: Marketing and insights
City: Berlin
Existing income: about 35k Euros/year after tax
Language fluency: I will reach C1 level in 2 years, God willing!
So, do you think it would make sense for me to come to Germany and spend 7-8 years working before moving back to my home country?
Yoko is 2026 is germnay good option for learning cyber security with stk staring like part time job and all ??
Yes cybersecurity is in high demand in Germany
Thank you
Am I eligible to apply during my study or I must have a five-year work experience in Germany?
And Thanks Max for such great information.
Unfortunately the time as a student doesn't count :(
hi Max, thanks alot for your effort to do this great video! I still have a question that i couldn't find the answer anywhere:
I'd like to apply for a german citizenship and i've lived here for a little bit more than 3 years. I graduated from a german Gymnasium (Abitur) with a pretty good score, especially in German subject. Do i still have to take a german C1 test to prove my language skill or is it enough with my Abitur certification?
I can imagine that they won't put you through an additional language test for C1 because completing the Abitur in Germany will inevitably be on the C1/C2 level. In the case they do, I'm pretty sure you'll pass it with ease!
Dankeschön
Gerne gerne
You're Japanese but you speak English very good. I didn't feel that you're Japanese. Well done! I speak English, Russian, Arabic. How about a guy like me who studied German to the B1 level with a test, without applying to any job in Germany because I'm a tour guide and Germany needs skilled workers. What job can I apply for if I really to work in Berlin?
Hi Max.is it also possible for Indonesian to hold dual citizenship?
Hey, if Indonesia allows it, yes!
From the German side it's allowed
Thank you this video is great and really informative. A quick question, did you say that a wife or parent of a German citizen does not need to pass a German language course after the age of 67?
Realistically it will still take an average of 7 years to get it
Nice Video Brother, will years spent in Germany like studienkollege+ bachelors be counted ?
Are you sure about that ?!! Are you sure about that?!! 😂😂 did you hear about German‘s bureaucracy!
It's wild haha
Do the years of studying count or it has to be 5 years of working years?
It has to be 5 years with a long term permit, so as far as I know the student years don't count
It used to be that the residence must be for 8 uninterrupted years, has it now changed to 5 years with the possibility of them being interrupted?
Still no interruption with 5 years :)
Residence must explicitly be ordinary. It is said that Germany is a center of live.
Germany did what America had being debating and campaigning about for 30 years
The US is a prime time country though and ofc it's gonna be harder going there. I was making 10k a month in the US and could make way more if I decided to do some side hustles. So the sky is the limit. Not to mention living in giant properties and having a blast. In Germany making such money is astronomical in comparison and good luck living in a 5 bedroom private property with a giant yard for $1500/mo. Horrible healthcare is the one and only main problem in the US that unfortunately ended my american dream. In EU ultra racism everywhere, especially nowadays with the rise of AfD I cannot even imagine the east German streets without any protection, in the US ADL (Anti defamation league) protects me wherever I go whenever I need. Going to US was probably the best decision I ever made and I loved every single minute of time I spent in that giant nation full of national parks and beauties to discover. I can't even imagine myself going to Germany with turkish background instantly punished for being muslim in AfD eyes even though I'm agnostic lol. Almost 5 years I lived in the US, somebody just remained silent hearing my background. Just 1 distasteful incident not even blatant racism. Everybody else bathed me with questions. Curious and friendly. Wide full smiles wherever I go. Fake or not I appreciate a random dude asking me how I am doing in a grocery. Yeah, the time I spent in US was a blast and I can see why it's very hard to become a citizen. I can't wait to make my next trip to Vegas and visit some friends in Montana 🎉
Where in the US did you stay and within what time period? As of today we really aren’t doing our best to improve the US and that’s the truth. Stagnant wages, falling middle class, constant price gouges, broken healthcare. Healthcare is so bad you can from making 80-100k a year raising a healthy family and bankrupt, lose dignity and home if a bad sickness befalls you. Our education steals money from students, student debt reduces wealth growth. Yes you may not have experienced racism but a lot of people and groups do here in the US.
How can I do it in 3 years brother help me please 😭🙏
Is it also easy to do 1year masters program in Germany and still transition into getting you citizenship in 3 years.
I want to study engineering but ill eventually go to Management Consulting. Is this law will help me or I'm left out?
So to apply in three years you need a C1 level or B1 with volunteer work ?
Do years in German university count entirely towards the required time that should be spent in Germany or they are divided by two as it was previously?
It has to be 5 years with a long-term permit, so as far as I know the student years don't count
Is there any language institution recommended for learning German in
Germany?
What is highest paying job in Germany? As student in blachor
With only a bachelors degree it's probably IT
Max, I was wondering what my next step would be, I've finished my A levels last Month, now in order for me to apply, do I need a VPD from Uni Assist? And do I have to study 1 year in a uni before applying?
one must expert in german and untill nothing comes
Hey Max, residency is not citizenship.
Thanks for pointing out, my mistake :)
My friend, I understand that you love to talk. But this video could be 60 seconds. Go to the point.
Can u tell we whether a student years will be counted half like the previous law or will be counted in full under the law, as it is not specified
As far as I know they are not counted at all
is students days count for germany citizenship new law
Hello, do you have any idea about the new law where studienkolleg students now have the right to work part-time?
I have not heard about this law, could you specify where you read about it :)
German passport ❤️🌹🇩🇪🌹❤️👍💯 with Trillions American Dollars & Trillions Euros

Love u ❤️
Just want to ask does Student years count towards citizenship/naturalisation?
As far as I know, only the time you spent living there under a long-term permit is counted
I may consider for 2 year Master program in Germany. Does it mean, I can get the passport the earliest a year after i graduate ( in case I find a job). Or these 2 year in school don’t count
hey, but what about the "renteversicherung"?
Hi. Are managers considered a shortage occupation in Germany?
A bit of a niche question, I was born and lived in Germany from 2007 to 2018 now I have been living outside of germany for a few years. Could I still apply for citizenship or is there anything different in this case.(i am still under 18 if that matters)
Do you have a permanent residence permit (Niederlassungserlaubnis)? If yes, then the next important question is: in the time frame you mentioned, have you visited Germany at least once every two years? Did any of your ancestors hold German citizenship in the past? Where do you live now?
The last question is not that important in terms of determining your current status in Germany, but if you live in the EU, then it could be a bit easier for you to come back to Germany and naturalise there. Or, perhaps, you already are a German citizen but are not aware of it.
@@mydpRunope, I don't have a residence permit(my parents do have one with no expiration date) and I haven't visited Germany since then. Only my uncles have german citizenship, none of my ancestors. Also, I am outside the EU.
If a person is doing phd program in German. Is that experience counted towards getting citizenship?
If one studies for 4 years and then works for one year they are also eligible right? Thanks!

Entry salary with bachelors is 45k, about 50k with masters
Seniors earn 60-70k and 100k is also possible

You can have my citizenship! For free! I give a shit on my german citizenship these days!
This is tax hell and the society is broken. Bad opportunity for those who want to live free and with ease!
Germany is a failed state!
there must be a reason why people want to go there. even if it tax hell, don't give up
