Where can I find actual texts for the German residence act?
I tried to apply for a student visa to Germany, it got denied by the Embassy's discretion since I did not have a solid plan to study in Germany, also they did not understand why I didn't start studying German in Taiwan.
Furthermore they included this line:
Es kann in dem o.g. Interesse der Bundesrepublik Deutschland an der Steuerung der Einreise und Zuwanderung von Ausländern ebenso wenig liegen, einem vorbestraften Antragsteller die Einreise zu gewähren.
It basically says something to the effect of "it may not be in the best interest of Germany to grant an applicant convicted of a crime entry".
I would like to know, what are the laws on that, and is it possible to overcome it (like getting it "spent" like in the UK) since it was many years ago. But I got into Germany last time and they knew about my criminal convictions so I do not know if this was a personal interpretation which varies from officer to officer.
