Hi my name is Richie and I am an Australian citizen carrying an Australian passport. So I have been in Germany for almost 3 months now. I know that there is a bilateral agreement between Germany and Australia, and also Denmark and Australia ...

A Croatian living and working in Germany has to abide by German health and social insurance rules, regardless of the contract he has. If the employer has no German presence (business registered in Germany, which can employ him), he will be ... Read More

In my personal opinion, it is fully justified (given the political situation) that the authorities currently do more checks and are stricter with people of Russian origin. If that creates problems for you personally, thank your politicians for ... Read More

BS, nobody has a given "right" to any visa or residency permit. Your post ignores the most basics of the reasons for a blue card; to bring skilled people who are in short supply. Just having a degree is not an insurance that one can get a blue ... Read More
