Blue card

On 1st August 2012 the EU Blue Card system started in Germany. People with a recognized university degree or a degree comparable to a German degree have easier access to the German labour market. To get the Blue Card, they must give proof of their qualifications and a concrete job offer.

If Annual gross salary is at least 46,400 euros, then the approval of the Federal Employment Agency is not necessary.

If Annual gross salary is at least 36,192 euros, then the approval of the Federal Employment Agency is necessary. The EU Blue Card facilities and arrangements also apply for highly qualified foreign nationals with a background in mathematics, IT, the natural sciences or technology, as well as medical doctors. The requirement is that they are offered the same salaries compared to German employees and their annual gross earnings would be at least 36192 euros.

Self-employed people can get a residence permit if their planned business project with its financial basis and economic impact is assessed as being in Germany’s economic interest or meeting a specific regional need.

Job-Seeker Visa for Germany

University graduates with a German or other recognized university degree, or a foreign degree comparable to a German degree, are allowed to enter Germany and seek a job once here. They get a job-seeker’s visa for their job search and are allowed to stay in Germany for up to six months to find employment. They need to prove that they have enough money to live on during their time here. While trying to find a job, they can not work at all, because the job-seeking visa does not permit them to work, whether on a self-employed basis or otherwise. Your visa will however be changed to a residence permit for employment in Germany, once you have found adequate employment.
