You can move to Germany for permanent residence either under the migration program or with a visa. And if in the first case everything is not so difficult, in the second you will have to go from a visa to obtaining an unlimited residence permit.

Instructions
Step 1
Correlate your life situation with the requirements of the German Consulate for those wishing to move to Germany for permanent residence. There are eight migration programs: immigrants, Jews, professional, business, labor, civil marriage, refugees and for those who want to study in Germany. If you meet the requirements of one of them, then obtaining permanent residence will take you less time.
Step 2
For example, among the citizens of Russia, the migrant program is widespread. To become a member of it, it is enough to prove that one of the ancestors was German. In this case, you are provided with a number of benefits, for example, free language courses.
Step 3
If you do not qualify for any of these programs, then the path to obtaining a permanent residence permit will take you at least 7 years. First you need to get a visa. Submit your documents to the consulate. A single entry visa is issued for a period of up to 3 months, a multivisa for a period of up to 5 years, but one can live in Germany on such a visa only for 3 months a year.
Step 4
If you don't know German, sign up for a language course. So it will be possible to extend the visa already in the status of a student. At the end of the course, you must pass a language exam. You will need this either to continue your studies at a university or to be hired.
Step 5
It is quite difficult to get a job in Germany. This program is suitable for highly qualified professionals. In any case, you will have to go through the competition for the position. By law, a firm hiring a citizen of another country must conduct research. Their goal is to prove that there are no specialists among the Germans who could do this job.
Step 6
Obtain an urgent residence permit in Germany by presenting an employment contract or documents from your university to the consulate. Then you can become a participant in one of the migration programs: labor or for education.
