여기는 어떤 곳인가
Healthcare and public infrastructure are among the best available anywhere, and permanent settlement is realistic after several years of legal residence. But there is no passive-income retirement visa of the Portuguese kind, permanent status carries a German-language requirement, and the administrative load is real and continuous.
절차는 이렇습니다
Find a residence category you actually fit
Employment, self-employment, family or study. There is no retirement route, so this step decides everything.
Register your address, then health insurance
Address registration comes before nearly everything else, including a normal bank account.
Settlement permit after qualifying residence
Requires German-language evidence and pension contributions; the qualifying period depends on the category.
