What does a Russian citizen need to do go to Germany?

Question by Trey: What does a Russian citizen need to do go to Germany?
I am a US citizen and my girlfriend is a Russian citizen with permanent residence of Bulgaria. I will be moving to Germany for work soon and we wish to go together. What can we do to get her the ability to go to school and work in Germany while I am working there?

    Get her a Euro charge card with the Roman alphabet on it. The cashiers and clerks in Germany might not understand. They get all upset about Cyrillic lettters/names on charge cards. (The calculations of rubles into Euros are done at the paying bank). This way she is not using the identity of a European or American and trying to be someone she isn't.

    Being a permanent resident of Bulgaria doesn't give her any EU rights. So she'd need a visa. Unless it's easy for her to get a Bulgarian citizenship, then problem solved and she won't need a visa.

    Since your girlfriend is Russian and not an EU citizen she need a visa to go to Germany. Her permanent residence is just for Bulgaria. She cannot freely move around other EU countries with that. She would have to have an offer of a job in Germany before she could get a work visa etc. The employer would have to advertise the job in all 27 EU countries before they take an non EU citizen on. Student visa is a different issue there. She would have to prove that she got a place to study at a German University, plus prove that she has enough funds to support herself while in Germany.
