• Job-seeker-visa : The act offers the possibility for skilled workers with qualified vocational training to come to Germany to look for a job in line with the existing regulations for university graduates .
People with vocational training can be granted a six-month so-called “ job-seeker-visa ” to enter Germany to look for a job . The criteria is that the candidate must have a recognized qualification , the necessary German language skills ( generally level B1 ) and a secure livelihood . With this visa , job seekers may work in their professional field on a trial basis for up to ten hours per week .
• The new law extends the possibilities of residence for recognition of foreign vocational qualifications .
The recognition of foreign vocational qualifications is essential for a skilled worker from a non-EU country to be able to obtain a residence permit for employment . Particularly in the non-academic field , it is the case that a foreign qualification is only recognized as equivalent when the person has acquired additional practical or theoretical qualifications in Germany .
• The act provides for a fast-track process for skilled workers .
From March 1 , employers can apply for a fast-track procedure for an entry visa for skilled workers with a foreigner ’ s power of attorney . The foreigner ’ s designated authority will advise the employers and be of assistance in filing an application for recognition of the foreign degree or certificate of the skilled worker . The authority is also responsible for obtaining the necessary approval from the Federal Employment Agency . When all prerequisites that can be examined in Germany have been met , the foreigner ’ s designated authority will issue what is called preliminary approval , which the employer will send to its employee . As soon as the employee has received preliminary approval , they can make a visa application appointment at their consulate abroad .
