Hello All,

I am living outside EU now and have a job offer in Germany. Contract is just for a year. Considering eligibility criteria for Blue Card, I see I am eligible for a blue card. I am in the visa application process with German embassy in my current country. But I realize when I apply for blue card in Germany, I would be able to get blue card for a year and my friends suggested that I should have negotaited for more than 2 years in the contract etc but its too late now. So my follow up questions,  

1/ How easy it is to renew or extend my blue card. If I get a new job after a year or If i get my contract renewed, Do I get a new blue card or extend the one I will have ?

2/ If I get a new blue card after a year, does the initial year count in for the 21 month (with B1 level) or 33 months eligibility for permanent residence 

May be its too early to think about it but just wanted to get it clarified and be informed about the process.

Thanks in advance.

Q2)Ans: Your Old salary months also consider fr PR.You will be under bluecard rule.
