Granting residence permits to long-term residents in other EU Member States Unfortunately this specification of service has not yet been completely translated.

Foreigners who have the legal status of a long-term resident in another EU member state are granted a residence permit if their stay in Germany is to last longer than three months. Long-term residents are foreigners who hold a residence permit designated "Permanent Residence EC" or "Permanent Residence EU" in the respective official language of the issuing EU Member State. Holders of a residence permit issued by great Britain, Denmark and Ireland are excluded, as these EU member states do not apply the corresponding EU Directive 2003/109/EC of 25.11.2003. The general conditions for issuing a German residence permit, such as a secure livelihood.B, apply without restriction. The residence permit permits gainful employment depending on the purpose (e.B. studies, employment, self-employment) of the stay. §§ 16-21 of the Residence Act are applied analogously.
