84 K€ or more ??
Hi all,
Most of the previous discussions about the salary threshold for being a high qualified person were talking about 84 k€. I have also seen one thread talking about 93 k€, does anybody have more information on that topic, is it 84 k€ or more??
Thanks,
W.

Re: 84 K€ or more ??
I have one more question if you don't mind, does anybody have any experience going to the Ausländerbehörde with an employment contract written in english? Do they deal with contracts in english or one has to have it written in german.
Thanks again,
W.

Hi W,
The law states that to be qualified as Highly Qualified person one has to earn double the amount required to go for private krankenversicherung. So people were talking about 84k. But the government has changed the slab of goin to private krankenversicherung by a few thousand euros. So now the new limit has shot upto 92k+.
Hope this helps
Cheers

1. About the salary it's something around 90K, per new regulation
2. I think they're gonna kick you a** out 
They really don't like it, even speaking in English is sometimes prohibited. I know there are some exceptions, but I had big problems at the Ausländerbehörde at the beginning when I was going and speaking in English, I was getting yelled at by the woman who was dealing with my case, yelling *in English* that I couldn't talk to her in English as it is an official place. I was like "damn, if I'm not supposed to speak English, then you don't and that means you're speaking in German and I'm understanding you... you sure I'm not speaking German like you're doing at the moment?" But it was one of the reason I did my best to learn German.

Hi W,
Since we are in Germany the official language is German and you have to convert all the documents into German if you are going to some government offices.
By the way almost all companies in germany will give the main contract only in german and an additional English contract is given to the employer only in case he asks for it or they want the employee to understand fully what is written in the contract.
I dont think this is fair anyway to expect the people in government offices to understand english when even well educated germans are not comfortable in dealing with english.

Hi Nobody,
You are saying "around 90K €", do you know from where can I get a definitive figure?
Regarding my second question it is not about speaking in English at the Ausländerbehörde, but it is about going with an employment contract written in english. My new employer is not german, he is EU with a company registered in Germany!!
By the way I didn't get what you mean with "kick you a** out", these ** can hold lots of meanings!!!
Anyway thanks to both of you "Raj and Nobody" for your quich answers.

Re: 84 K€ or more ??
Hi Wael,
After searching in the internet i have found out that inorder to move into Private versicherung a person should have a annual brutto salary of 46,800 or 3900 per month.
So 46,800 *2 = 92k+.
Maybe you yourself can search with 'Obergrenze
für privat krankenversicherung' and will come up with number of hits.
But what is true is that the limit is more than 92K+. There is no changing that.
cheers

Hi Wael,
EU or not!!!, when you do business in germany everything should be in german. So in order to save yourself and your company the time and heartburns request your employer to make the contract in german. Easy solution.

Hi Asian,
It seems the only way to confirm the number will be to have a visit to the Ausländerbehörde and ask. At the moment I am thinking about going there beginning of next week, if you tell me your email address I can keep you updated.
Of course I will be also publishing any useful info on this forum.

Re: 84 K€ or more ??
Although German is the official language, Is it reasonable to expect a foreigner who has been here for just 1 month to speak German at ABH?
I don't think that the officials in my home country asks the visitors to speak in our mother tongue! ABH is where foreigners come not the locals.
I have no chance with this 92k+ requirement!
