The federal government has developed a new points system for those willing to emigrate, which is based on factors such as professional training, age and language skills.
According to DW, the point is that qualified workers enter the country, taking into account a number of criteria that give them points to be able to benefit from the program.
With this in mind, they stipulate that those under the age of 35 receive three points, those who speak fluent German three points and in the case of English one point.
Other factors that are taken into account when assessing the applicant’s points are the profession “and whether there is already a connection to Germany or a job offer”.
accordingly report“Anyone who gets at least 6 points gets a visa, but not forever.” At first only to look for work.”
The federal government aims to encourage the legal migration of foreign workers and hopes to attract at least 60,000 people to the country each year.
Essentially, the total number of points decides whether it is possible for applicants to work in Germany with an “Opportunity Card” or “Chancekarte”.
Germany
According to Euronews, nationals of certain countries with visa agreements can already enter Germany without a visa for 90 days, but are only allowed to take up short-term employment.
However, with the Opportunity Card you can come to Germany to look for a job or do an internship instead of applying from abroad.
Full details of the program have not yet been finalized, but the Chance Card is expected to be available in 2023. If you don’t have the option to emigrate to the US or Spain, this is another option to explore and prepare for.
The professions currently in demand by the federal government include: geriatric nurse, software developer, engineer and medical assistant.
