德国国籍法 2026：新要求与入籍改革
更新于: 2026年1月 • 阅读需 6 分钟
The modernized German Citizenship Act (Staatangehörigkeitsgesetz - StAG) represents the most extensive reform of naturalization rules in Germany in several decades. Taking effect with full force through 2026, the updated legislation substantially accelerates the timeline for acquiring a German passport and completely simplifies the requirements by allowing multiple citizenships.
1. Standard Residency Reduced to 5 Years
Under the new law, the standard residency requirement has been lowered from 8 years to just 5 years. Applicants who have legally lived in Germany for 5 continuous years are now fully eligible to apply for naturalization, provided other standard integration criteria are met.
2. Fast-Track Naturalization in 3 Years
For applicants who show exceptional integration achievements, the naturalization period can be shortened to just 3 years. Exceptional achievements include obtaining a C1 German language certificate, showing outstanding professional or academic achievements, or making a significant civic/volunteer contribution to German society.
3. Multiple and Dual Citizenship Unconditionally Allowed
The most historic aspect of the reform is the total acceptance of multiple nationalities. Previously, non-EU citizens had to renounce their origin nationality to get German citizenship. Now, anyone can keep their native passport and hold dual citizenship with Germany without any restrictions.
4. Strict Self-Sufficiency and Economic Independence
To balance the easier timeline, the economic requirements have been reinforced. Applicants must prove they can fully support themselves and their families without relying on state benefits (Bürgergeld or Sozialhilfe). There are limited exceptions for guest worker generations and hard cases.
