Germany — full information vault

Germany's work path rests on recognition of your qualification. If your diploma or degree is recognised in Germany there is the skilled worker visa; at higher salaries the EU Blue Card; and the Opportunity Card for coming to look for work. Three separate doors.

Visa and permit types

Skilled worker visa

People whose vocational or academic qualification is recognised in Germany and who hold a job offer.

  • Recognition of the qualification (Anerkennung)
  • An employment contract with a German employer
  • The German level the occupation requires
Official source for this information: German Federal Government

EU Blue Card

University graduates whose job pays above the set salary threshold.

  • A recognised university degree
  • A contract meeting the salary threshold
Official source for this information: German Federal Government

Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte)

People without a job offer who want to search from inside Germany, subject to the points system.

  • A recognised qualification, or at least 6 points in the points system
  • Proof of funds for the job-search period

Risks on this path

Salary thresholds and blocked-account amounts change every year — do not decide on old figures.
A promise of a guaranteed job without recognition, in exchange for money, is a fraud signal.

Do not pay anyone outside this process.
