Thank you, Jörg and Raoul, for the great video always. I wonder about the financial requirements of the 'Opportunity Card'. I could not find any valid sources, not even on the Make it in German website. Thank you in advance.
Probably around €10,000
Hi @nabajitsaikia7528 You are welcome to check our website and watch our video training www.findajobingermany.de/. Simply click on the video training link you find. You may book a call with us and we will discuss it.
You said the Opportunity Card is geared more towards tradespeople and not so much IT professionals. I also heard that competition will be high in the first year and chances of obtaining a card will be slim. Overall, would you say a tech person shouldn't focus too much on the Opportunity Card?
We are not sure if the Opportunity Card is really the right tool for IT professionals to begin with. We still need to gather first hands-on experience and practical examples. We're expecting to know more in 6 months.
Hello, im for thailand.
I want to apply for this visa but I don't quite understand the details.
I don’t understand this :
Deutscher Hochschulabschluss oder anerkannter ausländischer, einem deutschen vergleichbarer Hochschulabschluss.
I want to know the embassy only needs universities that meet their criteria. Or does it have to be the university, faculty, and field of study?
Hi @icemarie935 You may check the detailed info in English here www.germany-visa.org/job-seeker-visa/
Hi
This opportunity visa is not yet started in March
Is there any changes with the new rule or any new date mentioned by government?
Any official government site ?
Hi @rahul20901 The expanded Skilled Immigration Act will most likely come into force on 01 June 2024. You can obtain the Opportunity Card from the competent German mission abroad in your country of origin (German Embassy or German Consulate) from this date www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/skilled-immigration-act
People don't understand how important mastery of german language to find a job, even as qualifizierte akademische Fachkräfte. And just because one thinks their English is good, it doesn't mean the German coworkers could understand the various international accents.
Hi @dmarl1042 There is a need to speak perfect English if you do not speak German. If people in Germany cannot understand you, your English is not advanced, and you need to work on it ( there is a need to work on your accent as well).
@@FAJIGBerlin Totally agree.
I am actually a bit mad when someone claims their German is good only because they get B1 certificate. I have B2 and can barely hold spontaneous conversation, let alone an intelectual one.
Anyway, do you have any idea if it is allowable for the holder of Visum zur Arbeitsplatzsuche to take up a job of lower qualifications?
Can one apply for the Opportunity card while you are on a job seeker visa while in Germany?
Hello! This is probably rather unlikely. You are either on one of the two, and pursuing your strategy with either. However, we have no hands-on practical knowledge because it would be a rather random scenario.
Thank you ..When someone travel to Germany via chancenkarte.. does the job center help with finding a job in the exact field ?
Another important question for me , can anyone apply for medical insurance even before finding a Job ?
Hi @Andrewfarid The JobCenter helps you get a job if you are a resident of Germany. It will not be possible with the Opportunity Card. You can have health insurance even if you are not employed now. You will need to have medical insurance for traveling.
I got a job offer in Germany but employer does not sponsor me for VISA. So, Can I apply for Job Seeker VISA and then go to germany for that job and apply for permit?
Hi @RomerbyTom In case you have a job offer, you do not have to apply for a Job Seeker Visa. Having a job offer allows you to apply for the visa from your side if the company does not want to sponsor it.
@@FAJIGBerlin So what kind of visa, I should apply for that? the embassy suggested that skill worker visa need consent of the German federal employment agency.
Thank you, can someone having JSV also apply for Opportunity card?
Hi @mkpro4297 You will be able to apply for the Opportunity card only after 01 June 2024. This option is not available right now. Once it is on, you will be able to apply.
Can someone with deploma in procurement and supply chain management also deploma in Microsoft office package, certificate in networking and certificate in A+ can I qualify for job seeking Visa?
This Year 2024 i want to apply for it
Yes, a university degree will help. However, companies here will want to see your work experience and ideally language skills if you're not applying in Tech & IT.
@@FAJIGBerlin thank you very much for the help.
Can I apply for opportunity card only for 6 months ??
Hi @kish1193 You will get the Opportunity Card for 1 year. The use of it will depend on your wish. You may use 6 months only if you want to. But the permission to stay in Germany will be issued for 1 year.
Do you support product owner role as well, I have 9+ years experience relevant 6+ years…

Hi again
I really need to find a studio apartment in Berlin, I am moving in February and I need it for a year. Budget is 600 and I need anmeldung. Please advise
Hi @tigraiembeba4447 The accommodation situation in Berlin is not doing well. You will be able to get a room for this price if you need to move immediately. You may check websites to book a room in Berlin.
@@FAJIGBerlin thanks I found an accommodation for 777 in a student studio in Berlin
Hello, do we need to get any diploma equivalency for your diploma in order to qualify for a visa?
Hi @oddatasarm9599 It depends on the visa you apply for. Usually, if you have 4 years of work experience, any visa is needed. We recommend you take a look at www.make-it-in-germany.com/de/ to see if you have skills that might help you come and work here.
@@FAJIGBerlin Do we need to provide any diploma equivalence to the German state for chancenkarte or is our diploma automatically recognized? (My university and my department are also available as H+ in Anabin)
Can you please share your email id. I am carrying job seeker visa and require help in getting the job.
Hello! You can book a get2know call with us after watching our video training.
