Facilitation for obtaining German citizenship, DW: Draft law ready!

It will be easier to obtain German citizenship. One of the obstacles that will be removed by the Minister of Internal Affairs, Faeser, is the repeal of the regulation on the surrender of citizenship originating from citizens outside the EU.

Who will become a German in the future, will not necessarily have to surrender the citizenship of the country of origin. This comes from a draft of the draft law on German citizenship of the Ministry of the Interior of Germany, which was submitted on Friday to other departments of the German government for approval. The goals set out in the 2021 German coalition agreement for a "modern right to citizenship" also ease the regulation of the German language requirement for certain groups who want to obtain German citizenship. In addition, the minimum time that must be respected before applying for German citizenship will be shortened.

In the draft law, which is in the hands of the German news agency, dpa, it is said that the facilities for proving knowledge of the German language and the obligation to take the citizenship test will be removed for all foreigners who are at least 67 years old. This is intended to evaluate the work achievements of the generation of workers who arrived in the 50s-60s of the last century "gastarbeiter", who in the first years were not offered either language courses or integration offers during their years of stay in Germany. The reliefs will benefit not only the elderly, who came with the then employment agreement, but all those who are part of this age group. For the youngest who want to obtain German citizenship, there will also be exceptional cases, such as the case of special difficulty for the health care of a family member.

Other
reliefs The draft law is part of the plan of the SPD, the Greens and the FDp to broadly reform migration and integration policy. Underlying the reform is the idea that granting citizenship paves the way for greater participation in German society, benefiting both German society and the new citizens.

According to the plans, citizenship can be requested 5 years after regular residence in Germany, until now applicants had to wait 8 years. While in special cases of rapid integration achievements in Germany, excellent achievements in school or profession, voluntary commitment or perfect knowledge of the language, three years will be enough to submit the request. While the optional obligation for children of foreigners born in Germany will be completely removed. This means that young people no longer need to decide between German citizenship or that of their parents.

Gjithashtu do të shkurtohet edhe kohëzgjatja e nevojshme për të marrë qëndrim të rregullt një prind që ka lindur fëmijë në Gjermani që duan të marrin nënshtetësinë gjermane. Kjo kohë do të shkurtohet nga tetë në pesë vjet. “Nga ky shkurtim i ndjeshëm i një kohës së qëndrimit në Gjermani të një prindi do të rritet numri i fëmijëve që marrin nënshtetësinë gjermane”, thuhet në projektligj, sipas dpa. Edhe kushti i futur në vitin 2019 për “integrim në marrëdhëniet jetësore gjermane” do të hiqet. Por nënshtetësia nuk do të jepet kur ” i huaji është i martuar me disa persona ose në rast se ai me sjelljen e tij tregon, se nuk do të pranojë barazinë mes burrit e gruas e vendosur në kushtetutë.” Kritika për planet vijnë nga opozita. Politikani i CDU-së,Thorsten Frei e pranon, se Gjermania është vend imigrimi, por “kjo nuk do të thotë që të jepet nënshtetësia gjermane kujt të dojë.”/DW/
