Hi All,

I have got NE based on Highly skilled regulation. Is it possible for me to get Daueraufenthalt EG Now.

The requirements for a settlement permit and “Daueraufenthaltserlaubnis-EG” are similar in many respects. The major difference is to have “stable and regular” income.

For a summary go to

http://www.trust7.com/en/foren/visa_questions/unlimited_working_visa_unbeschraenktes_arbeitserlaubnis/re_unlimited_working_visa_unbeschraenktes_arbeitserlaubnis__7

While the regular NE as well as the D-EG require continuous stay in Germany for 5 years, the NE under highly qualified category does not require 5 years stay. In this situation, how does one convince the beamter to issue a D-EG instead of NE?

Another question: If the stipulated last 5 years are composed of stay in two EU member states as follows: 3 years in Germany, 2 years in Austria (with residence permit from Austria) followed by 3 years in Germany, is one eligible for D-EG, as the stay within "EU" was continuous?

Hi Merlin,

you cannot get D-EG automatically from a NE §19 AufenthG (high skilled). You need to work 5 years for the former and you must have a work contract which will not terminate or is terminated during the application process, no matter if you have a NE or not. As mentioned, you don't require 5 years to get NE §19 AufenthG.

You cannot accumulate the residences to get a D-EG. 5 years must be swept in one country.

Thanks for your reply klenze17. In the mean time this point was discussed in info4alien reaching a similar opinion(conclusion?).

Along with me, johndebot gets to see the status quo on this question.

Why NE instead of DE-EG after 5 years stay in Germany?

As per my understanding

DE-EG does not require German Language skill and gives freedom to work in other EU countries.
Perhaps it has no salary restrictions as in NE(>63K) (true?) of course it needs good educational background and experience

on the other hand
NE needs German as Language requirement(except 63k+ salary) and permits to work in Germany only.

Then why not DE-EG after 5 years. why NE?
Is DE-EG approval rate less than NE ?
Which body of bund approves DE-EG ?(EU or (bundesagnetur for Arbeit & Auslanderbehörde like NE?))

DE-EG does not require German Language skill and gives freedom to work in other EU countries.

Not always. There are cases where the officials asked the applicants to prove it. Search the forums.

Perhaps it has no salary restrictions as in NE(>63K) (true?) of course it needs good educational background and experience

DE-EG does not require salary condition like NE$19 but requires integration skills. Search the forums.

NE needs German as Language requirement(except 63k+ salary) and permits to work in Germany only.

NE$9 requires some basic language skills, but NE$19 doesn't.

Then why not DE-EG after 5 years. why NE?

DE-EG requires additional integration skills, which is therefore difficult to get. Search the forums.

Is DE-EG approval rate less than NE ?

Yes.

Which body of bund approves DE-EG ?(EU or (bundesagnetur for Arbeit & Auslanderbehörde like NE?))

Ausländerbehörde.
