Germany eases path to permanent residency for migrants
Tens of thousands of migrants, who have been living in Germany for years without long-lasting permission to remain in the country, will be eligible for permanent residency after the government approved a new migration bill Wednesday. The new regulation, endorsed by the Cabinet, applies to about 136,000 people who have lived in Germany for at least five years by Jan. 1, 2022. “We want people who are well integrated to have good opportunities in our country,” Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters.
