🇩🇪 Germany Opportunity Card

Find Work in Germany with the New Opportunity Card

Germany Opportunity Card
Chancenkarte Guidance by Shafaq International — Visa decisions are made solely by the Embassy

The Germany Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) is a new points-based visa introduced in 2024 that allows skilled workers from non-EU countries to come to Germany and look for a job for up to one year. Unlike the EU Blue Card, you do not need a job offer beforehand — just enough points based on your qualifications, experience, language skills, and age.
