Good afternoon! I have been living in Germany for more than 5 years, but before that I was on a study visa, and I received a residence permit only 2 years ago. Is it possible to get naturalized in this case? I heard somewhere that it is possible only with a residence permit.

Vida Lesjak, Hello! That's right, the duration of stay is calculated from the moment of obtaining a residence permit. Staying in the country on a temporary visa does not count.
To apply for naturalization without special integration achievements, you need to live in the country for another 3 years with a residence permit.

Hello everyone Does anyone have a sample of filling out a citizenship application in German?

Emine Çağlar, in Bavaria they quickly sent me everything by email, both the application and the list of documents. But first we need to answer their questions. I don't know how it is in other lands

Hello! And if I have a C1 German language certificate and I have been living in Germany for 4 years, is it already possible to apply for naturalization under the new law?

Hannah Bauer, Hello!

In order to be naturalized after three years, in addition to the C1 level, you need to meet a number of other requirements:
1) you need to prove that you have a livelihood
2) you must demonstrate the so-called "special integration achievements". For example, special achievements in studies or work, as well as in the field of public or voluntary activities. Local authorities have some leeway in dealing with each individual case. But there must always be something special that goes beyond the usual integration process. In addition, the service must be provided in Germany.

After 5 years, you can apply for naturalization without these "special integration achievements" if you meet the usual requirements.
