Anyway,
I'm back to square one again
Yeah I also only have a temporary residence permit too. I recently just extended my license so I don't believe the rules have changed sounds like whoever is talked to your girlfriend is talking crap.

I haven't investigated permanent residency recently, last time I did, it was very expensive and really for senior company executives, married to a local. Very few of those around outside massive cities.
