Germany’s Opportunity Card

Germany’s newly launched Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) opens the door for global talent to explore job opportunities without the need for a prior job offer. Especially beneficial for skilled professionals from countries like India, this innovative pathway allows you to enter Germany and search for employment on-site. Whether you're a recent graduate or an experienced worker, this could be your chance to start a career in Europe.
The Opportunity Card is a points-based residence permit that enables eligible individuals to stay in Germany for up to one year to search for employment actively. Unlike traditional work visas, it does not require a job offer in advance. During this period, applicants can work part-time for up to 20 hours per week or take up trial jobs to connect with potential employers.
