The path from Uzbekistan to Germany - seeking your advice!
I'm a 25 year old from Uzbekistan. I think it's better not to reveal my name (I'm a bit cautious online). I dream of studying or immigrating to Germany. I accidentally found this site, and I was really interested in the 'Refugee Statistics in Germany' graphs and pie charts on the homepage. It's amazing to see Germany accepting people from so many different countries, and it gave me hope that there might be an opportunity for me too.
I want to study or start working in Germany. I've heard a lot about the German education system and job opportunities, and I'd like to build on my degree from Tashkent University (for example, in engineering or business administration) to achieve something in Germany. However, I'm not sure about visas. Which is easier to get, a student visa or a work visa? If there's anyone with experience, I would really appreciate information on what preparations I need to make as an Uzbek citizen to get a visa.
Also, looking at the pie chart, I noticed that the refugee ratio is quite high. I want to go to Germany for studies or work, not as a refugee applicant, so I wonder if these statistics will affect my plans. I'm also curious about how Germans perceive people from Uzbekistan. If there are people in Germany, or those who are preparing for immigration or study like me, please leave your opinions in the comments! Your stories would be a great help to me.
Thank you in advance!
