- Section 9 paragraph 2 Residence Act (AufenthG)
https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/aufenthg_2004/__9.html
If you hold a residence permit, you can, under certain conditions, obtain a permanent settlement permit after five years.
The settlement permit is a permanent residence permit.
The settlement permit was introduced as a residence permit with the Immigration Act.
In contrast to the residence permit, the settlement permit is a permanent residence permit. It entitles the holder to pursue gainful employment, is not geographically restricted and may not be subject to any additional conditions, except in cases permitted by the Residence Act.
The granting of a permanent settlement permit is based on various legal bases.
Examples of the most common cases:
- Have held a residence permit as a family member of a German for at least 3 years
- Have held a residence permit as a skilled worker for at least 4 years
- Have held a residence permit as an employee or family member of a foreigner for at least 5 years
- At least 7 years of holding a residence permit for stays on humanitarian grounds
- Holders of an EU Blue Card (at least 33 months in qualified employment)
- Graduates of a degree or vocational training course in Germany (employed in Germany for at least 2 years after graduation)
- Self-employed (3 years)

- last 12 pay slips
- Certificate “Living in Germany”
- Language certificate
- current pension insurance history from the German Pension Insurance

If you have a domestic school leaving certificate or successfully completed training/study, the language certificate and the “Living in Germany” certificate are no longer necessary.
A current biometric passport photo is required for the appointment.
- You must have held a valid residence permit for at least five years without interruption.
- You should be able to demonstrate to the immigration authorities that you have resided in the federal territory for the five years (for example, by providing proof of attendance at an educational institution or employment).
- You have knowledge of the German language at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
- The cost of living (including health insurance) must be secured, i.e. covered from one's own resources.
- 60 months of compulsory contributions or voluntary contributions to statutory pension insurance
- There must be no reasons of public security that speak against the applicant's stay (for example, there must be no interest in their deportation).
- Permits for permanent professional practice are available (can also be presented by the spouse or life partner).
- Basic knowledge of the legal and social system and living conditions in Germany is available.
- Sufficient living space must be proven.
The application can be submitted via the Hamburg residence permit online service. For faster processing, it is helpful if all the required documents are already uploaded to the online service.
The customer will then receive an appointment from the responsible clerk as soon as the documents have been checked and the decision has been made. A current biometric passport photo, the national passport and the fee (EC card) must always be brought to the appointment.
