The German parliament
has now announced a new highly-skilled migrant and graduate employment scheme.
Along the European Union scheme for so-called "Blue Cards" (similar
to American Green Cards), Germany has now brought in new rules for long-term
migration after studies in Germany.
We have gathered a bit
of information about last Friday's decision to introduce the Blue Card to
Germany and we can now give you a short overview of what the new law means for
your clients and students:
Overview of the new
law:
- Graduates from
non-EU countries can stay in Germany for 6 months to look for jobs after
graduate from a German university.
-The minimum annual
wage levels have been decreased to 35,000 EUR for certain specialist
professions (doctors, phycists, IT specialists etc.) and to 45,000 for all
other professions in need of recruits.
- Those that find a
job within this minimum salary range can stay for another 3 years.
- If the card-holder
forms a strong relationship with the employer, they can apply for permanent
residence OR if he demonstrates a good knowledge of German, he can stay for
another 2 years at least
