The newly formed coalition between the CDU/CSU and SPD intends to abolish the recently introduced three-year expedited path to German citizenship for well-integrated immigrants. This change follows criticism from conservatives who argue that a three-year residence period is insufficient for naturalization. While this fast-track option will be eliminated, immigrants will still be eligible to apply for citizenship after five years of residency, provided they meet intermediate language requirements. Dual citizenship will remain permitted, addressing concerns over integration among diverse communities such as the Turkish population in Germany.
The incoming coalition plans to abolish a streamlined pathway to citizenship for well-integrated immigrants, asserting that the three-year residency period is too brief.
The conservative parties have labeled the expedited path as 'turbo' naturalization, emphasizing the need for a longer duration of residency before obtaining citizenship.
