Germany Introduces Opportunity Card

What is the German “Opportunity Card?”

New immigration law was recently introduced by the German Ministry of Labor, which introduced a point-based "Opportunity Card”, known as “Chancenkarte” which means opportunity. The main aim is to increase the number of skilled workers in the country. In turn, this will lead to a reduction in the labor shortage in Germany.

The Opportunity Card will be beneficial to everyone who is planning to work or settle in Germany. The card opens many doors with more exposure and chances. Skilled workers and skilled immigrants can apply for the “Opportunity Card” to find work in Germany within a limited time. This will enable the applicants to explore their options and improve their skills as well.

What are the Requirements for the “Opportunity Card?”

The Opportunity Card has four basic requirements:

  1. Germany-recognized degrees or vocational degrees
  2. Professional experience of at least three years
  3. Skills in the German language (minimum B1 level) or previous stays in Germany
  4. Age under 35

If you fulfill three of the four requirements, applicants can still qualify for the Opportunity Card. Quotas will be decided yearly by the German government based on the demand for skilled workers in each industry. Cards will be released based on demand.

Why was the “Opportunity Card” introduced

The “Opportunity Card” is not limited to just the issue of shortage of labor. Along with increased skilled immigration, the German Government wants to bring skilled workers with targeted training and further education and more women into work.

What will Happen After Selection?

The selected candidates will be able to settle in Germany for a certain period of time and look for jobs and training. During this period, the candidates must get the job in a limited period.

Any applicant who has a qualification recognized by Germany, regardless of whether it is an apprenticeship or a degree, will automatically qualify for the "chance card."

What are the Benefits of the “Opportunity Card”?

-       Provides more opportunities to Skilled Workers and Skilled Immigrants.

-       Lesser requirements are needed to qualify for the “Opportunity Card.”

-       More chances for applicants to explore better job options.

How to Prepare for the “Opportunity Card?”

Now, in order to fulfill the criteria, you can start preparing for the Opportunity Card in the following ways:

  1. Complete a course of study or can complete vocational training in the home country
  2. Attend a German Language Certification Course and work on the language skills
  3. Get work certificates from previous jobs according to the German Standards

In a Nutshell

The Opportunity Card will soon be discussed in the German Parliament. It is expected that the government will release the card details in the next two to three months. This new visa will be available for work also to those who don’t have a job offer in Germany.

Munich! A City In Germany – Job Seeker Visa Process

Settle for Immigration in Germany

Munich is the capital city of Germany and also the most populous city situated in Bavaria, a State in Germany. The city is famous for its celebrations during Oktoberfest, which is the largest festival for showcasing, drinking and selling different types of Beer in the world. The city is a veritable paradise for culture lovers with activities and events to cater to every taste. The city center is within walking distance of most areas and has some of the best cultural art and museums in the world. No wonder then, that this city is one of the top places to Settle for Immigrants who move to Germany

Living in Munich

 Munich is a modern city with a small town vibe. As a new immigrant, you may not find the Germans as friendly on first sight, as let’s say the Americans or the Canadians, but they will rest assured be respectful and helpful to you. Knowing the language can be a great advantage, so be sure to polish up your German Skills or take a basic speaking class before you go. The city has some great housing options for rent for new immigrants. A one bedroom home in Munich at the center of the city can cost around 1044 Euros in the city center and around 800 Euros on the outskirts of the city. If you are an immigrant who is moving to Munich with children, then the city has great schooling options and primary school can cost around 16,000 Euros per year for each child.

Getting around Munich

 As a new immigrant, you will find that getting around Munich is easy as the city is small and the public transport is efficient. The city center can easily be covered on foot. The city’s main airport is situated about 30 km’s from the city center. The public transport network consists of buses and trams known as U-Bahn and S-Bahn respectively and is run by the MVV. The fare for using these services depends on the length of the journey and short rides cost around 1.40 Euros and longer trips can cost around 2.70 Euros. If you are a new immigrant to Munich, then public transport is a safe and cost-effective way to get around before you opt for taxis or your own car. Taxis are slightly more expensive at a flat charge of 3.50 Euros plus 1.80 Euro for each kilometer.

 

Sightseeing in Munich

 Munich is a sightseer’s paradise. The first few weekends as a new immigrant will probably see you roaming around the streets soaking in all the culture and the beautiful sights. If you are a car enthusiast, then the BMW museum is sure to hold your attention. A lover of fairytales? The Neuschwanstein castle will transport you to a magical place. The Linderhof Palace and Nymphenburg Palace will give you a glimpse into the opulence of the royals of the past, while the Englischer Garten is a place where you can unwind with family and friends after a busy week. This 900-acre park runs through most of Munich and also houses a beer garden where you can enjoy a cold beer with friends.

 

Indians in Munich

 Indians, who are new Immigrants to Germany, will find much to make them feel at home in this city. Knowing German can be a huge advantage, but even without it, you can find a lot of help in finding your way around. Indian cuisine is much appreciated here and you can find a number of Indian restaurants near you. Immigrants can find their community well represented in the religious structures as well as societies in the city
