A criminal conviction can lead to the revocation of a residence permit and even deportation (Ausweisung) from German territory. Convictions with sentences of more than 2 years (as a rule) can result in mandatory deportation. Even minor convictions can impact visa renewal, applications for permanent residency, and the naturalization process. Therefore, criminal defense for foreigners must always consider the immigration repercussions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<details id=\"e-n-accordion-item-5711\" class=\"e-n-accordion-item\" >\n\t\t\t\t<summary class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title\" data-accordion-index=\"2\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e-n-accordion-item-5711\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t<span class='e-n-accordion-item-title-header'><div class=\"e-n-accordion-item-title-text\"> I have been accused of a crime in Germany.

For German naturalization, it is necessary to have no relevant criminal convictions. Minor convictions (fines up to 90 daily rates or suspended sentences up to 3 months) are generally disregarded. More serious convictions can permanently prevent naturalization. For permanent residency (Niederlassungserlaubnis), the criminal record is also assessed. After a certain period without new offenses, convictions can be removed from the register (Bundeszentralregister).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Direito Penal Atua\u00e7\u00e3o estrat\u00e9gica na defesa e no acompanhamento de processos penais, com an\u00e1lise detalhada do caso desde a fase investigativa at\u00e9 o encerramento da a\u00e7\u00e3o.
