Germany relaxes entry regulations for international skilled workers
BERLIN, Feb. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- As of March 1, 2024, a major part of the legislative package to modernize German residence law will come into force in Europe's largest economy. Easements for the EU Blue Card have already been in place since November 2023. The new support measures mainly focus on the recognition of foreign professional qualifications.
- This allows applicant qualifications to be recognized upon entry into Germany, thereby enabling qualified personnel from non-EU countries to be hired more quickly.
- Skilled workers who have held a residence permit in Germany for three years - previously four years - may now receive an unlimited settlement.
