Immigrating to Germany from Turkey. How difficult is it?
I’ve been in a long-distance relationship with my boyfriend from Turkey for a few years now, and lately we’ve been seriously talking about the possibility of him moving to Germany in the future so we can finally live together and build a normal life together. I live in Germany and he currently lives in Turkey.
He’s 22 years old and recently finished university, where he studied to become an English teacher.
He genuinely wants to come to Germany and build a future here, but I’m trying to figure out how realistic this actually is from a practical point of view, not just emotionally.
I feel like online people often say “if he loves you enough, he’ll find a way,” but I want realistic answers from people who actually know how difficult immigration to Germany is nowadays, especially from Turkey.
Since he studied English teaching, I’m also wondering how useful or recognized that degree would even be in Germany, and whether he would realistically be able to work in that field here or if he would have to completely change career paths.
He doesn’t have years of professional experience yet and would basically have to build his life from scratch in another country, which is why I’m trying to understand what the most realistic path would actually be.
Would something like an Ausbildung be more realistic? A work visa? Studying further in Germany? Or is marriage realistically the only way most couples in this situation make it work?
I also wonder how difficult it would be for him to actually adapt and survive here financially and socially, especially with the language barrier and how hard Germany can already be even for people born here.
He is willing to work and build a future, but I honestly don’t know whether people underestimate how hard moving countries actually is or whether it’s genuinely achievable within a few years if someone is serious enough.
I’d really appreciate honest answers from people who moved from Turkey to Germany themselves, people in international relationships, or anyone familiar with German immigration, visas, Ausbildung, work permits, or the reality of starting over in Germany from scratch.
I’m mainly trying to understand whether this is realistically possible for an average person, how long something like this usually takes, and what the most realistic path would probably be in our situation.
I can’t move to Turkey for various reasons and no he is NOT using me to move here.
