The USP of German institutions is a distinct cultural setting and experience combined with high-quality education. Many overseas students prefer to study in Germany because of these factors.

Skilled immigration act

Skilled immigrants from non-EU countries will be able to work in Germany after the passage of the Skilled Immigration Act in 2020. The new regulations make it simpler for skilled migrants from non-EU countries with suitable education and qualifications to relocate to Germany because they have fewer constraints.

 Under the new law, any non-EU citizen with a relevant degree or vocational training and a job contract can work in Germany.

Companies in Germany can now hire foreign workers from any industry, whereas before only certain industries were allowed to do so.

Individuals who are selected under the new law will be offered a four-month contract.

 They can apply for a permanent residency permit after four years if they have paid into the German pension system for at least 48 months, have adequate financial means to sustain themselves, and have the appropriate language skills.

A foreigner after the successful completion of a vocational training program can apply forPR after two years.

The measure has shortened the process of giving residency permits to skilled workers, which formerly took six months. The professional certification must now be recognized within two months, rather than three months as previously required. The Federal Employment Agency must provide preliminary approval within a week. A decision on the visa application must be made within three weeks of receiving the application form.

This will not only assist talented people in relocating rapidly to Germany, but it will also assist German firms in filling skill shortages.

Germany offers numerous opportunities for immigrants to work and study here. The added opportunity to apply for permanent residency makes it a desirable option for immigrants.
