Information on Work Permits in Germany
Skilled professionals from non-EU countries must meet certain requirements to enter Germany and obtain a work permit. The key requirements that must be met for all documents to be issued are listed below.
Further information is available during an initial, no-obligation consultation.
To qualify for simplified entry and work permit procedures, you must be a skilled professional in a so-called shortage occupation. Shortage occupations are occupational groups in which there is a lack of skilled professionals.
In most cases, you must provide proof of German language proficiency at level B1 or above. Depending on your profession, a higher level may be required.
As part of the recognition process for your qualification, an assessment is carried out to determine whether your training institution or university meets German standards and whether your qualification is considered equivalent to a German qualification.
To bring your family with you to Germany, you must hold a valid residence permit or permanent residence permit.
