Germany

Germany took the initiative to address the growing need for skilled workers by relaxing the entry requirements for non-EU nationals with the required skill set. The government plans to upgrade the process of issuing visas while easing other policies to attract more foreign talent.

Germany’s Opportunity Card is a great opportunity for foreign workers to help find work in Germany. It maintains a points-based system and allows candidates with university degrees to look for jobs in the country for a year.

 

The points are assigned based on the following criteria:

• Proficiency in German or English
• Connections in Germany
• Partners or spouses accompanying them in the German labor Market.
