Experienced staff can come under conditions under Section 19c(2) of the German Residence Act with Section 6 of the German Employment Ordinance: at least two years of work experience in the last five years, a minimum salary or collective agreement, and approval by the Federal Employment Agency. See the work experience guide.

Common questions
Questions on IT specialists.
Not in every case. With a recognised university degree, the routes under Sections 18b and 18g of the German Residence Act apply; with work experience, under conditions, Section 19c(2) of the German Residence Act. In the first call we clarify which route fits your role. See routes to Germany.
You decide. We tell you in advance which language certificates the person has and organise German courses on request. Third-party services (courses, transport, accommodation) are ordered and paid by you directly; we organise the appointment.
It depends on the occupation, the country of origin and the authority. In the first call we walk you through the steps in order so you can plan. After that you know at every step where the procedure stands. Duration and decision lie with the competent authorities.
Your skilled worker books the appointment at the German mission abroad and applies. We support with the organisation and accompany them through the process. The authorities decide whether a visa is issued. More under visa service.
Fee per successful placement, plus VAT. You receive your offer in writing once your needs and the scope of services are clear. All items are listed on the costs page.
