The usual notice period is four weeks to the 15th of the month… Read More

Driving without a licence is a criminal offence

Anyone who has not obtained a driving licence or does not have a valid driving licence is not allowed to drive a car. This is a criminal offence. You can get a fine or up to a year in prison for this. In some cases, you may also have to hand in your vehicle. On the other hand, if you have a driving licence and forget it while driving, you will have to pay a warning fine of 10 euros. https://www.bussgeldkatalog.net/fahrerlaubnis/fahren-ohne-fahrerlaubnis/ tun22020102 www.tuenews.de Im Auto unterwegs.

Nigeria gets looted Benin-art back

German museums will return art treasures looted from the former Kingdom of Benin. This was recently agreed upon by representatives of the German and Nigerian governments in Berlin.

New hope for those who have been tolerated for a residence permit

The federal government has set out a law that makes it easier for those with leniency to remain permanently in Germany. The decision “Chancen-Aufenthaltsrecht” affects people living in Germany for at least five years who have a “Duldung”, a temporary suspension of deportation.

In addition, they have to prove during a one-year “trial period” that they can live independently with the money they have earned and speak good German. It is estimated that approximately 130,000 people are subject to this regulation. Recently,… Read More
