Not sure which European country to choose for a residence permit? Look for a country with a developed economy and a fair judicial system. You will feel safe and secure, and you will see that your efforts and work are appreciated.
In terms of visa-free regime without a residence permit you are entitled to stay in the European Union for a maximum of 90 days in a half-year. But in order to obtain a residence permit and to extend your stay, you need a good reason. If not, you simply run the risk of being expelled.
A Schengen visa can be:
In the EU, borders are very conditional, so you have a choice of where to live and work, especially given the widespread use of telecommuting.
Almost all Western democracies are built on the above principles, but Germany is the flagship. All kinds of industries are developed here, and products are competitive. It is possible to work for a company as well as to be self-employed. The latter is highly encouraged. For entrepreneurs, obtaining a residence permit in Germany will not be a problem. Businesses that are good for the economy of the region are particularly encouraged. If you create jobs, you will be granted a residence permit.
If you are not an entrepreneur but a highly qualified professional, there is the possibility of becoming a Blue Card holder. The Blue Card gives you the advantage of a permanent residence permit. The latter gives you the same rights as German citizens, apart from the right to vote. You will not be able to serve in the German armed forces or the police. Your permanent residence permit will be valid indefinitely. It may also be granted if you marry a German. However, you must have lived together for at least 3 years.
You will always receive fair remuneration and a decent old age, you will be able to raise your children comfortably and give them a good education.
In Germany, foreigners have all the same rights as German citizens. They can study, work, travel freely and receive good medical care. In many cases, higher education may even be free of charge. Working professions are highly paid in this country. So it's not surprising that you might have a desire to stay here permanently. You will enjoy the cleanliness and orderliness of the streets and the public infrastructure in both the main cities and the villages.
If you want German citizenship, you will have to give up your former citizenship. The whole process will take a long time, at least 8 years. You must not have a criminal record. You must have at least an intermediate knowledge of German, which must be documented by a certificate.

It is only possible to obtain a residence permit in this state if you are able to support yourself without additional support or benefits.
