The Blue Card EU is a special residence permit for highly qualified professionals who have a job offer with an annual income of at least 45,300 Euros.
Foreign companies are not able to hire employees in Germany directly, but there are payroll companies that allow you to pay your salary and taxes officially in Germany
As of 1 June, it will become significantly easier to obtain a job seeking visa for the purpose of finding work in Germany. The "Chancenkarte" facilitates access to the German labour market without the need to have a Joboffer in advance.
Each relocation case is a small unique story. Relocation strategy becomes clear after consultation.
Our Services
Our experts will answer any questions and support you every step of the way. We will assess your chances of employment in Germany, organise entry visas and residence permits in Germany, and support your whole family during the adaptation period in your new country.
The consultation will take place via video call for 45 minutes. After the consultation you will have answers to all your questions and a clear plan of action for your situation.
The chances of success in finding a job are multiplied if you have the opportunity to attend job interviews in person. For such cases there is a special visa for job search, which has been replaced by the Chance Card as of 1 June 2024. This visa is usually issued for a period of 1 year.
Blue Card, or simply BС. This is a special type of residence permit for highly qualified professionals who have a job offer with an annual income of 45.300€ gross (3775€ monthly). For doctors, scientists, mathematicians, engineers and IT-specialists and other representatives of demanded professions the threshold is reduced to 41.041 € per year.
Generally, if for some reason you do not qualify for the Blue Card, you can apply for a regular employment visa under §18b Abs. 1 for professionals with higher education. Here there is no mandatory requirement to match the education and future position, and there is no mandatory income requirement. The main requirement is that it must be higher than the minimum subsistence level.

In Germany there are activities that are classified as free professions. Among them according to EStG §18 in the German tax law are: artists, translators, journalists, marketers and more recently system administrators and IT consultants to name but a few.
If your university or diploma is not listed on the ANABIN portal, you will need to have your degree document evaluated by the ZAB - Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen.
This assessment must also be carried out for those specialities that are categorised as ‘provisionally comparable’ (bedingt vergleichbar).
The Zentralstelle für ausländisches Bildungswesen verifies the equivalence of Bachelor's, Master's, Specialist's, Candidate's and Doctoral degrees as well as the Diploma of Additional Higher Education.
It is IMPOSSIBLE to recognise secondary vocational diplomas, professional retraining diplomas, diplomas of incomplete higher education and externships through the ZAB.

Testimonials
Thank you to everyone who shares their experiences and inspires others
I ordered support for relocation to Germany. In addition to basic services, I received a lot of useful details that can only be learnt by talking to people who have been living and working in Germany for a long time.

Thank you for your assistance, quick and competent checking of documents and, most importantly, for clarifying the points worth paying close attention to. I got my freelancer visa: everything worked out quickly and efficiently, so thank you again!

The guys from the agency told me what documents I needed from my employer, sent me all the forms, uploaded my diploma from Anabin and generally answered all my questions. I submitted the documents on the 1st of June, for myself and two children, and on the 29th of June I received a letter that my Blue Card visa was waiting for me. Thank you!!!

I had an individual consultancy on request. We analysed all (as many as 3!) possible ways of emigration. It became clear which one was the most promising, and which one was the quickest.
I received clear and precise instructions. Recommend it to everyone!

Kristina Semenova is the head of the project. The idea to organise the service came after successful cases of helping friends relocate. Kristina has seen half the world and decided to stay in Germany, because Germany is not only the driving force of the EU economy, but also a country with excellent opportunities for expats, which offers permanent residence after 21 months of stay. It's easy to travel from here and Germans are very friendly and speak English.
