Germany Visa
The Germany Job Seeker Visa is a German National long stay visa that was established in August 2012. The main idea is to lure more qualified experts from abroad to come to Germany to attend interviews and find a job. Germany is now attracting a million skilled workers to work and settle in the country for a long-time.
The shortage of skilled workers in many sectors and professions in Germany, specifically in engineering, manufacturing and the IT sectors, as well as health specialists, has pushed the Federal Government to try and find other solutions in order to fill the labor gaps.
Processing Time for Job Seeker visa:
- Embassy/Consulate Processing time: 3-4 months* from the date of Application
- The processing procedures and periods are revised from time to time at the sole discretion of the German Consulate/Embassy.
