Immigration law, visas & skilled labor migration – European or German immigration law offers numerous opportunities for companies to hire foreign skilled workers. There are special regulations on immigration and visa service for graduates of foreign or domestic universities, company specialists, managing directors, executives, shareholders and for certain professions (“MINT”) such as IT and engineering.
Immigration and visa service for foreigners and skilled migration – for companies in other EU countries there is the possibility to send executives, specialists and trainees to Germany by way of intra-company transfer.
For qualification in Germany there is the possibility to apply for a visa for a language course and studies. The cities of Hamburg and Berlin offer regulations to facilitate the granting of visas to artists.
At first glance, the legal regulations are not always clear and, depending on the desired work visa, various agencies – embassy, foreigners’ authority, employment agency, professional associations, etc. – may be involved. A successful procedure regarding a residence permit or Blue Card – EU usually starts with the right job profile.
There are far-reaching consequences attached to a right of residence. Depending on the status, there is a right to self-employment, family reunification, integration course, social benefits and mobility within Germany or the European Union.
