Transfer of job
Hello,
I work in India for a Germany based IT company. I have been to Germnany many times through this company (stayed on business visa and residence permit for over 20 months). Now I plan to relocate to Germany permanently with my family. I will look for a new employer and get a work contract.
1. From what I understand, the maximum duration of stay possible is 5 years (after which I can apply for NE based on conditions). Once I get NE will this allow me unlimited stay in Germany?
2. If I try to join the same parent company in Germany (with whose subsidary I am working in India now) will this help me in anyway wrt to easier processing of Visa?
Thanks in advance,
nts

Re: Transfer of job
Answer to 1: Yes, NE = settlement permit.
Answer to 2: It won't help you much, but the fact that you have contacts there and that you can get a job easier is good since it is not so easy to find an employer here if you're living abroad.

Re: Transfer of job
Thank you for your answers. I have few more questions
1. From my understanding, after I find an employer in Germany (while staying in India), I can apply for a Visa in Germany. Do I get residence permit and workpermit from India? Are these both the same now?
2. As I mentioned, I have visted Germany many times on Schenken Visa and on residence permit. When I apply for NE later will the duration of stays with both these Visa's be considered?
3. My residence permit was for 2 years. I stayed continously for 1 year. The rest of the stay was for 4 months during the next year with breaks. The break was never more than 6 months. Will only the actual duration of stay be considered for NE or the entire 2 years?

Re: Transfer of job
Your first priority should be to get a job and the visa. Put your efforts on the important stuffs other than wasting time with NE for now.

Re: Transfer of job
Hello Raj,
You are absolutely right. This is my first priority too. What I am a looking for is a permanent relocation and I dont want to end up in a situation that I should return to India after 5 years because of Visa regulations.
Maybe I am a bit confused after reading all information about visa rules and regulations 
Could anyone neverthless answer my queries?

Answer: No and No. After your employer sends you all necessary documents(work contract...), you will have to go to the embassy in your home country, and apply for a normal visa which will be issued for a duration of 90 days. After you come to Germany, you will apply for a residence permit and a work permit based on your work contract and will get those. Residence permit is stamped on your passport whereas work permit is a seperate paper. If you have NE and maybe BE you won't be needing seperate work permits but I am not sure regarding BE.
2. As I mentioned, I have visted Germany many times on Schenken Visa and on residence permit. When I apply for NE later will the duration of stays with both these Visa's be considered?
Answer: No, they will not be considered, they will start counting 5 years from scratch.
3. My residence permit was for 2 years. I stayed continously for 1 year. The rest of the stay was for 4 months during the next year with breaks. The break was never more than 6 months. Will only the actual duration of stay be considered for NE or the entire 2 years?
Answer: Check answer to question 2.

Dont worry. Regulations have been relaxed a lot and if you can hold a job continuously its very easy to settle. I dont think you will be facing the same problems we faced or wait as long as we did.
good luck with the job hunting.
