Why Germany?

Overview

The German job market is one of the most lucrative in Europe, but it might be difficult to find a company ready to sponsor your work visa if you are not a German citizen.

Visa Scheme

Germany Job Seeker Visa Scheme

The Germany Jobseeker Visa is a programme of the German Federal Government designed to encourage qualified, skilled immigrants to enter the nation, find a job of their choosing, and stay in Germany to work permanently.

A skilled worker who obtains this visa gains access to the German labour market.

Cost

Cost associated with obtaining a job seeker visa for Germany

The standard processing period for a Germany Job Seeker Visa is approximately four to six weeks, as stated by the consulate as their usual guideline.

On the other hand, how quickly you can provide all of the documents that are required for the process has a significant impact on how long it will take to process your request.

Eligibility Criteria

The major eligibility requirements are :

  • A degree of at least a bachelor’s in a field connected to the STEM fields (from a recognised University)
  • Experience in a field that is in high demand on the German labour market, with a minimum of five years’ worth of that experience*
  • sufficient cash to demonstrate that you are able to continue living in Germany
  • Plan for medical insurance coverage

Documents

What paperwork do you need to gather to prove your eligibility in 2022?

The document checklist includes:

  • Completed filled German job Seeker Visa application form
  • Valid Passport
  • A copy of passport data page
  • 3 passport photo
  • Cover letter
  • Update CV
  • Academic Qualification documents
  • Proof of accommodation.

Extensions that might be possible

Below are the possibilities of an extension

Even if the likelihood of not obtaining a job in Germany in 6 months is quite low, a backup plan is always necessary.

You must depart Germany before the visa expiration date because it is only valid for six months and cannot be renewed unless you locate a job that is still in demand.

You are permitted to reapply for the visa using the same procedure and enter the country to try your luck once more.
