News about the developments of the new law for immigration to Germany and its impact on those wishing to immigrate
The second stage of the skilled worker immigration law to Germany came into effect on March 1, 2024, facilitating the entry of skilled foreign workers to Germany, following the success of the first stage of the new legislation in November 2023.
The third stage, scheduled to be implemented starting in June 2024, will introduce a job search opportunity card, increasing job opportunities and mobility for skilled workers.
The recently implemented second stage includes the following provisions:
- Opening the door for skilled workers with practical experience: Skilled workers with at least two years of practical experience in non-regulated fields are now allowed to immigrate to Germany and work without the need for official recognition of their qualifications, provided that they hold a certificate or equivalent professional qualification recognized by the country that issued the qualification, and that the vocational training lasted for at least two years.
- Residence permit for recognition of foreign professional qualifications: In regulated professions such as nursing and education, skilled workers can immigrate to Germany before obtaining official recognition of their qualifications, provided that a recognition partnership is agreed upon between the worker and the employer. This also requires the skilled worker to hold a recognized professional qualification for at least two years from their home country, or a university degree, in addition to German language skills.
With these reforms, the German immigration law provides new opportunities and more flexible pathways for skilled workers to work and have their qualifications recognized, contributing to the mobility and professional development of skilled workers in the German labor market.
