FAQ
What academic qualifications do I need to receive a work permit in Germany?
Your academic background needs to fulfil a certain set of criteria—this is known as the recognition process. The recognition process is complex and in several cases, state-specific. We will assess your academic background at the pre-evaluation stage and guide you through the recognition process.
What work experience do I need to get a work visa in Germany?
Your career background and specialisms play a key part in the recognition process and the likelihood of you finding a job in Germany. If you work in a desirable or sought-after field, you're more likely to find employment.
Do I need to speak German to work in Germany?
Knowing German is almost always mandatory for working in Germany. Even if the working language is English (in rare cases), being able to speak German is key for your integration into society. In many sectors of work, you may need to prove your German language ability for the recognition process.
What other requirements are there for receiving a work permit in Germany?
One of the other requirements for receiving a work permit in Germany is to find a job in the field of your academic and career background with a certain level of salary. This is highly dependent on your expertise and field of occupation. We will assess your potential for finding a job in Germany during the pre-evaluation process.
Do I need a visa?
EU applicants: No visa needed.
Non EU applicants: A Job-Seeker-Visa or a Post-Recognition-Visa allow you to improve your German at Alpadia Language Schools in Berlin or Freiburg and at the same time to go through the job application process via our career coaching. We will assist you throughout every single step in this path. Upon fulfilling the language requirements, you will be able to get a work permit and an EU Blue Card or a Residence Permit without the need to go back to your home country.
