Do I need to speak German to apply for residency or citizenship in Germany?
No, you don’t need to speak German to apply for any of the Mobility Assets available in Germany.
Can my family members apply for residency or citizenship in Germany with me?
Yes, in most cases, your spouse and dependent children can be included in your application, but be sure to check the requirements in the results provided in your Explorer Kit before you proceed.
How will the GlobalPassport™ help me move to Germany?

Can I keep my own citizenship?
