1- Verify the job opportunity

A quick test of a successful website in Germany shows your opportunity to work in Germany.

It is useful for many job opportunities, and it is also mandatory for some of them to recognize or amend the professional qualifications or academic degrees that you obtained from your home country in Germany. You can check the Qualifications Recognition website in Germany to see if this applies to you as well.

3- Looking for a job opportunity

The Business Exchange includes, on the successful website in Germany, a list of available and available job opportunities for the specialized and qualified foreign workforce. You can also search with the Federal Employment Agency and on major job opportunities such as "Stepstone", "Ended" or "Monster", or also through business networks such as "LinkedIn" or "Kissing". If you are interested in working for a particular company, you can directly enter this company’s website and view through its pages about available job opportunities.

4- Writing letters of employment and work

It is usual in the case of applying to work with a German company to write a letter of employment attached to it with a CV and a personal photo, and copies of certificates, work documents and experience. Pay attention to the required specifications and skills and their compatibility with your capabilities and experiences, and try to mention them and highlight them in the recruitment letter.

5- Applying for a visa

Citizens of the European Union, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Iceland do not need a visa to work in Germany.
If you are a citizen of Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand or the United States, you do not need a visa to enter Germany, and you can stay for up to three months. But in order to work here you must apply for a residence permit with the intention of working.
All citizens of other countries require a visa. An application for obtaining this visa is submitted after obtaining an employment contract in Germany. You must obtain an appointment at the German embassy in your country, and agree with the future employer about the need to wait until the legal procedures for obtaining a visa have ended.
If you have a recognized university qualification in Germany, you will obtain a six-month visa in order to search for a job.

6- Health insurance procedures

Health insurance in Germany is compulsory, as of the first day of residency.
