Starting a
career in Germany has never been as easy before. The German government has
introduced schemes to make it easier for non-European citizens to follow
their careers in Germany.
Who generally qualifies?
Foreign graduates from German universities can take up an employment
corresponding to the subjects of their studies. Also, foreign specialists
who graduated from a foreign university with a degree in the field of
information and communication technology. Highly qualified persons,
especially scientists, high ranking university professors, scientific
personnel and specialists as well as chief executive employees with special
knowledge can get a permanent residence and work permit immediately. Also,
self employed persons may qualify.
Students from non-European countries who have graduated from a German
university can now also work in Germany. After graduation they have one year
to find a proper job, provided that they can finance their living during
this time, if necessary with an additional income from a 90 days fulltime
job or a 180 days part time job. However, in case the studies have been
financed by the home country of the student or through German economic
cooperation and development, the student is expected to return to his home
country to let it benefit from his qualifications.
Sometimes there are specific requirements: IT specialists, for instance,
require a job offer from a German company. Another requirement is that
national job seekers or EU citizens are not available for the vacancy
offered.
Especially highly-qualified persons such as scientists, scientific personnel
and chief executive employees can take up work in Germany immediately.
However, for highly qualified personnel in the private sector, a minimum
annual income of 85.000 Euro is a must.
Self employed persons, whose activities are of exceptional economic or
regional interests, must be able to invest at least 500.000 Euros into their
project and create at least five work places.
