Is it easy to get the EU Blue Card after working in Germany, and is it only for skilled professionals?
It depends. The EU Blue Card is intended for skilled professionals with a recognized university degree and a qualifying job offer in Germany.
- Eligibility: You must have a degree recognized in Germany and a job offer that matches your qualifications.
- Skilled professionals only: The Blue Card is not available for unskilled or low-skilled roles.
- Salary requirement: Your job offer must meet the minimum gross annual salary, which is typically higher for most professions but lower for shortage occupations like IT or engineering (subject to change).
The process is generally straightforward if you meet these criteria, but getting a qualifying job offer and meeting the salary threshold can be competitive. If you need personalized guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help.
