German — Visa & Migration

Einbürgerung

German naturalisation — becoming a citizen, which typically requires B1 German.

Einbürgerung is the process of becoming a German citizen after meeting residence, integration and language conditions. The standard language requirement is B1 German, alongside a life-in-Germany knowledge test.

It is the long-horizon end of most migration journeys. B1 is the language milestone that keeps recurring — for PR, for citizenship — which is why building solidly to B1 (and beyond) pays off for years.

What level / visa it maps to
