Post: I know how to move to Germany via Jewish immigration, but only by hearsay

I'm a simple emigrant and I know how to move to Germany via Jewish immigration, but only by hearsay

Those who have been reading my channel for a long time know that I moved on a blue card, but this is far from the only way. For example, Katya and Felix, the authors of the blog “Jewish wife”, moved to Germany under the “Jewish Immigration” program. Jewish immigration is a great program, and relocating under it is somewhat nicer than mine. When I arrived, I lived with a friend while I looked for an apartment and didn’t really expect to find it quickly, because at that time I had neither money for astronomical deposits nor documents that landlords wanted. And with this visa you are provided housing, yes, at first it may be only a dormitory, but you’ll have somewhere to live until you start supporting yourself. You will also get money: a one-time payout for setup and a monthly allowance. Of course, insurance, free language study, and permission to work are also included. To immigrate under this program you need Jewish roots, confirmed by a document that states the nationality “Jew” / “Jewess.” This may be a document of a close relative or your own, but it must have been issued before January 1, 1990. Unfortunately, DNA test, in which it’s stated that I’m 6.3% Jewish, isn’t accepted as proof. You also must have a certificate in German at level A1. And if you also attach a certificate from the Jewish community, then it’s even better. Next, Germany assesses your integration potential. The criteria are: age, education, language level, work experience, having children, membership in the Jewish community. Additionally, you can gain points for knowledge of English and for having a work contract or relatives in Germany. At the same time, even with good points, you can bring a partner only if your official marriage is at least three years old. However, there are several conditions under which you will definitely be refused immigration. If you have already moved to Israel, the United States or Germany for your main residence, if you live in the Baltics (ex-USSR), if you have a criminal record or are somehow connected with criminal organizations, and if you worked in the USSR in an important position to preserve the communist regime. They say all these points are thoroughly checked and, if present, are detected 100%! Naturally, this is only a summary, but it’s enough to know that such a program exists at all and how to get into it. #immigrants_are_friends #useful
