In 2024, a record number of foreigners living in Germany received German citizenship, within the framework of legislative simplification of its acquisition, Welt reports, citing the German authorities.
In June 2024, Chancellor Olaf Scholtsi adopted a law, which reduced the amount of residence for citizenship for up to five years.
