Frequently asked questions
Which jobs in Germany offer visa sponsorship?
Tech (software, data, DevOps), engineering, healthcare (nurses, doctors), skilled trades, research, and finance roles routinely sponsor. Anything classified as a 'shortage occupation' qualifies for a reduced Blue Card salary threshold.

Typically 4–12 weeks from application to approval, depending on the consulate. The EU Blue Card is processed faster than standard work visas.

Yes. Blue Card and Skilled Worker visa holders can bring spouses (who get full work rights) and children under 18 via family reunification.
What's the minimum salary for a German work visa?
€45,300/year for the standard EU Blue Card, €41,041 for shortage occupations in 2024. Skilled Worker Visas have no fixed minimum but must meet local wage standards.
