3. Germany
Germany is a country which issues the most asylum approvals in the EU, and has a policy of accepting immigrants in general. German laws are strict but fair, and you’ll have to respect them if you’re hoping to get a permanent residence there. You’ll also have to respect the language by showcasing certain level of its knowledge. Otherwise, it’s pretty much the same as in any other country: get a visa, find a job and wait for five years before becoming eligible for citizenship. In order to get it, however, you’ll be expected to secure your own livelihood and make mandatory contributions to the statutory pension insurance for no less than 60 months (5 years). There are some special requirements like securing sufficient space for your family, and obeying community rules. Germany is still trying to repent for its wrongdoings during the WWII, and part of that is instant citizenship for the victims of Nazi persecution. Europe’s largest economy offers high salaries (not higher than Scandinavian ones), but it also offers low prices for most goods. That’s the recipe for high-quality standard of life that most people around the globe can only wish for.
