Germany opens opportunities to foreign skilled workers

"Germany opens doors to a future full of opportunities, international professionals will find attractive career opportunities here in sought-after professions."

The country's efforts to attract foreign workers are supported by reforms aimed at making it easier for non-EU nationals to enter the German labour market.

Applicants seeking work visas or residence permits linked to these occupations will generally need to demonstrate completed vocational training or higher education qualifications that meet German recognition requirements.

Some jobs require qualification recognition

The requirements can differ depending on the occupation.

Workers applying for non-regulated professions may benefit from more flexible employment rules, while people seeking to work in regulated professions must generally have their qualifications formally recognised before they can begin working.
