Citizenship Application in Bayern
Hello friends!
I get involved into confusion after reading many posts about the issue whether or not AB in Bayern counts student time for citizenship. Few people have written it down that in Bayern, AB counts only 2 years of your student time for the citizenship application. On contrary people say that AB in Bayern doesn't count your student time at all.
If anyone has his/her own personal experience of citizenship application during recent time in Bayern, please share !!!
In my case i am completing my 7 years stay in Germany and willing to apply for citizenship. My profile for stay in Germany is;
-mid 2003 to mid 2006 Student (3 years as student without renten)
-mid 2006 to mid 2007 Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter (1 year as student with renten)
-mid 2007 till now Working in a company with unlimited contract (3 year with renten)
-from 2008 onwards NE
Thanks in advance

Re: Citizenship Application in Bayern
Student time is counted for citizenship application.
The only condition is that you should be working when applying for citizenship. As you are working now, so you can apply under 7 year rule.

Re: Citizenship Application in Bayern
iam also having the same question.
now iam having DE-EG Visa and also completed integration course. By end of march i will complete 7 years stay in Germany (Student + job). Presently living in Bayern.
my question:
1. i think many Indians in this forum took German Citizenship some are in dilema whether to take it or not even tough they are eligible. If some of you (those who took German Citizenship) have time, could you please explain in what way German Citizenship is useful(or having advantages) compared to Indian citizenship????? and compared to DE-EG Visa???
2. After taking German citizenship, is it possible to take back Indian citizenship? if yes is that a big lengthy process??
thank you for your time

@ sinu78:
These are the arguments coming into my mind to go for DE-Citizenship:
1.)After German citizenship + OCI status you don't loose much in India (Google for detail).
2.)If you live in India for 1 year as an OCI, then you may apply for Indian citizenship again.
3.)With German citizenship you have the freedom of going to India or some other country for few years (for work or smth..) and come back, if you want, any time without any risk to Germany (compared to NE or EG status).
4.)Visa-Free travel for some countries with German citiznship is also an advantage if your work requires travelling....

Re: Citizenship Application in Bayern
@ UMTS - when did you apply for your citizenship and when did you get it ?
I do believe you but would be interested to know when it happened. Did you have any special integration skills to show like language skills C1, PHd etc ?
In general, I am in a similar situation and I have been in contact with the senior most officials in the Regierung Oberbayern with the Regierungsrat.
There are 2 paragraphs under which you can apply for citizenship.
Para 10 - where you have right to get citizenship (8 year case).
Para 8 - discretion of government of oberbayern (6 or 7 year case).
Now if you have been student (also my case) and have 8 years full and at time of application of citizenship you are working(gesicherter lebensunterhalt), they put you in para 8(because they are not obliged to count education time) and give you citizenship. Had you been working all the time they would have given it to you in para 10.
They say(atleast now) that if you have been student and have 6 years years then you have to show exceptional integration skills (social work, etc) and they will consider you in para 8 and decide. In case you have integration certificate (you need to send language + orientation course test certificate to BAMF), then they could consider you also in para 8.
The difference to other states is that in all above cases you would have been considered in para 10 (ýour right to get citizenship).
Anyway there are many fine details. Just drop me an email at jivan.ki.talaash@gmail.com and I will give you some valuable infos.
