Germany's new citizenship law significantly reduces residence requirements for most foreigners, allowing them to naturalize after 5 years instead of 8, with exceptions for 3 years.
Spouses of German citizens already have shorter residence requirements, needing only 3 years of residency to qualify for citizenship, with exceptions for those married for at least 2 years.
The new law does not change the residence requirements for married couples, indicating that the existing shorter timeline for spouses of Germans remains unchanged.
