Visa regulations:
If you are a third country national – i.e. not a national of one of the Member States of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland - and you wish to stay in Germany for a longer period of time, then you need a legal basis, the so-called “residence title”.
There are four different residence titles for long-term stays in the Federal Republic of Germany.
