The German government recently announced a program for professionals and tradespersons called the Germany Opportunity Card. As the name suggests, this immigration program offers interested candidates a visa to work in Germany legitimately. It replaces the popular Germany Job Seeker Visa.

Here are 11 reasons this new visa program for skilled professionals is unique and sought after!

  1. It is also called “Chancenkarte”
  2. The program permits visa holders to live in Germany for one year.
  3. Almost all occupations and trades can apply under the program.
  4. The opportunity card for Germany requires one to meet the minimum required points.
  5. The ideal age is 35 or less, though applicants up to 40 years may also apply.
  6. Fluency in the German language is optional to be eligible, though it is strongly recommended that applicants learn basic German while waiting for the application to be processed. It is advised that the applicants learn at least up to A2 levels before landing to work in Germany,
  7. One must show a minimum of funds in a “blocked account” to meet the settlement and survival funds requirements. Please budget upwards of Euro 12000 for the purpose.
  8. The best feature of the German “Chancenkarte” is that it permits the spouse and children to accompany the principal applicant. Spouses are also eligible to work in Germany, and the children are entitled to study benefits. Employers often provide healthcare benefits, but it is recommended that you take international health insurance while planning travel.
  9. German Opportunity card permits the holder and spouse to work part-time in the country while waiting for a regular job. This helps them comfortably meet their living expenses.
  10. After getting a regular job, the status can be converted into residency or even an EU blue card—depending on the annual salary.
  11. The status can be converted while in Germany.
