I have to wonder how these debt refugees are getting their requests approved. Is German border policy lax enough that "I don't want to pay my debt" is enough to get citizenship?
Dont you need an extended work visa in order to work for that long?
Just like the US, most of Europe does not want new immigrants to be a drain on their social services. If you can find a job before you apply or have a very large bank account it's almost a give they'll give you a visa. A popular option is to get your TOEFL certificate and become an english teacher. Others are get a student visa or marry a EU citizen.
