Not sure when you lived here but Germany does not require you to leave the country to renew the document that lets you re-enter¹, same as rest of Schengen. Renewal frequency is also 4 years for "EU Blue Card" holders (STEM workers). ¹: residence permit card in case of schengen, visa in case of "non-immigrants" in US.

Ah, this was pre-schengen. Nice to see it got nicer!

  It improved a few times during my years here, it's very refreshing compared to what I've seen of the US, where the system is almost as clunky as it was in the 90s.
