Germany Approves New Immigration Law to Attract Skilled Workers
German Parliament

The German government has given its final approval to an innovative immigration law aimed at making it easier for skilled workers from outside the European Union (EU) to move to Germany.

Starting November 2023, Germany will introduce the law in three phases to streamline the migration of skilled non-EU workers while counterbalancing employment deficits. Authorities have drafted and instituted detailed plans with provisions set to take place in less than a month. The legislation earmarks aspiring professionals who lack academic qualifications. It also aims to ease entry restrictions on well-educated individuals seeking German employment. Dubbed the “opportunity card” this German program utilizes a point-based approach to facilitate the relocation of individuals with specific skills deemed crucial by Germany.

To retain skilled workers, Germany has created a qualifying system that factors in several aspects – qualifications, professional experience, age, German proficiency and connections to the country. This results in the much-coveted opportunity card, which will act as a permit for staying in Germany. Industries facing a shortage of skilled workers will receive renewed applications every year. To qualify for the card, the following criteria must be satisfied:

1. Holding a degree or vocational qualification

2. Having three years of work experience

3. German language proficiency or previous residency in Germany

4. Be 35 years old or younger

The opportunity card will allow individuals to enter Germany and search for employment while staying in the country, as opposed to applying from abroad. Germany plans to streamline the recognition of professional qualifications, giving skilled individuals a better advantage to secure employment in the country. Those with degrees or vocational certificates may remain in Germany for the purpose of job hunting, wherein they will be permitted to work a maximum of 20 hours per week.

In addition to these reforms, the country also seeks to simplify the process for skilled workers to bring their families to the country and obtain permanent residency. Germany and non-EU skilled workers have reasons to smile with the implementation of this new legislation. The new law aims to tackle the labour scarcity in the country while concurrently enabling skilled individuals from non-EU countries to reside and work in Germany.

  1. This is where the rich…
    This is where the rich countries have an advantage over poor countries.When faced with shortage of skilled workers,all they have to do is go to “Poor countries”,and “drain their brain”.
    There is a silent danger that is threatening European countries,and other so called developed countries,and that is population decline.Some like South Korea have negative growth.Meaning those being born cannot replace those”checking out”.
    To fill their labor/skill shortage, they will come to countries like Kenya with offers that Kenyans cannot refuse.They cannot do that to Americans,or the British.Their pay scales are way too high.In other words they come to countries like Kenya for expensive skills and labor, for less cash.
    Under the guise of globalization some of these “black unfriendly” countries,are forced to accept the black man working for them because he comes cheaply.So do not be fooled into thinking that he is now looking at you as a equal.To them, you are a machine they are buying to a do a job/labor…
    Iam sure you readers can spot the downside of this kind of brain drain.You know it would be very expensive if we had a shortage of skilled labor,and had to go to USA,UK or Germany to fill the gaps. Heck, just having afew Cubans from a thirdworld country fill” the doctor shortage” almost threw the ministry of health budget into tail spin.
    So,please, let’s make sure we have enough for ourselves lest we fall into labor abyss…sort of.

  2. All this is in effects of…
    All this is in effects of Gen Z, those people born after 1995 onwards. Statistical this generation has shown to have no interest in working hard and has caused ripple effects in military recruitment, hard work and long hours like in Nursing and commercial drivers including all hand-work jobs. They’re mostly favored in IT industries and and other related easy to do jobs. They often like to spend time out socializing in sharing bites, snapshots and travelling. They often zeroing in there problems and prefer to blame the hard work foreigners instead. This is the start but image in 50 years to come, how will it be like with the Gen Z’s grandchildren?

    • @Mbwana,you said it!.Future…
      @Mbwana,you said it!.Future planners caught on to it as well. Yes Gen Z is”lazy”. In fact they are so lazy that 63% men are not even interested in dating women.They are at home with video games. So shrewd entrepreneurs have teamed up with high tech.engineers to create AI girl friends.Robots are doing the hard,and dangerous work that strong men did…
      The alpha males that created progressive societies that we are enjoying now are quickly being replaced by simps,and sis looking men.It’s not hard to for tell what future societies will look like50 years from now.
      Again let me remind folks;Strong men create good times.Good times create weak men.weak men create bad times.And the circle starts over again.

  3. So we strong men should be…
    So we strong men should be busy making stronger babies so they can rule America as well as the world one day….lol

  4. Yeah sounds like the perfect…
    Yeah sounds like the perfect tall masculine slave who was used to produce his genes by sleeping with thousands of slave women….I think that’s was my great great grandpa and I represent lol
