Germany opens labour market for skilled workers from non-EU countries
New rules for the immigration of skilled workers to Germany came into force in early 2020. The new law extends the opportunities for qualified professionals from outside the European Union to come to work in Germany.
Before applying for a visa under the new rules, interested candidates need to obtain official recognition of their professional qualification from the competent German authorities. Information about the procedures can be found on www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de. Interested professionals should start these procedures early. This is possible even before the new regulations enter into force.
