The German Opportunity Card, also known as Chancenkarte, is a new visa program designed to attract talented individuals from around the world. It allows you to enter Germany without a prearranged job offer and grants you up to one year to search for employment.

The card is awarded based on a point system that evaluates qualifications, work experience, language skills, age, and other factors. The program provides flexibility, recognizes foreign qualifications, and offers the possibility of part-time work and a path to residency.

Key requirements for your Chancenkarte application:

To apply for the German Opportunity Card, you must meet certain key requirements:

• Qualification: You need a recognized qualification, such as a university degree or vocational training (minimum 2 years).
• Language: You should be able to demonstrate basic knowledge of German (A1 level or above) or English (B2 level or higher).
• Sustenance: You must be able to support yourself financially during your stay in Germany and need valid health insurance coverage.
• Scoring: You must earn a minimum of 6 points based on various criteria. The Chancenkarte points system of Germany evaluates your qualifications, work experience, language skills, age, previous stays in the country, and potential job offers.

You are immediately eligible to apply for the Chancenkarte if you hold a foreign professional or academic degree fully recognized in Germany or received your university degree or vocational training in Germany. Otherwise, you must accumulate at least 6 points to qualify for the Opportunity Card.
