The Opportunity Card is a new instrument of the German Skilled Workers Immigration Act. This law has been specifically designed to facilitate access to the German labor market for non-EU citizens who meet the eligibility criteria.

The Opportunity Card features a detailed points system that takes into account various aspects such as work experience, educational level, and language skills. This allows applicants to come to Germany flexibly and independently and build a professional life here.

The Opportunity Card offers numerous advantages to international skilled workers as well as to the German economy. Applicants can pursue their professional goals in a highly developed economic environment while also contributing to the development of the German economy. Furthermore, it strengthens Germany's innovation capacity and international competitiveness.
