Germany has launched an online application system for the Opportunity Card Visa in India

The German Federal Foreign Office has introduced an online visa application service in India, initially available in Kolkata and Bengaluru, to streamline the application process for skilled workers. The service is part of the Germany Opportunity Card initiative, aimed at attracting skilled workers to Germany.

Key Features:

  • Online Portal: Applicants can now apply for the Opportunity Card Visa, Blue Card (EU) Visa, and Visa to take up employment as an academic via the Consular Services Portal.
    • The online portal allows applicants to submit documents electronically and receive preliminary feedback about the completeness of their application.
    • This pre-screening helps expedite the in-person appointment at the German consulate, where biometrics (fingerprints and photographs) and visa fees are collected.

Opportunity Card Visa: This residence permit is designed for skilled workers from third countries, such as India, who wish to:

  • Enter Germany to seek employment or
  • Have their foreign professional qualifications recognized.

The Opportunity Card offers a flexible route for professionals to explore job opportunities in Germany, with the potential to lead to permanent residency once employed.

Additional Visa Categories:

  • Blue Card (EU): For highly skilled workers in specialized fields.
  • Visa to take up employment as an academic: For professionals intending to work in academic or research-related positions.
