Qualified employment
Skilled work: qualification and job offer
For people preparing qualified employment under sections 18a or 18b of the Residence Act. Other work visas have different conditions.
Reviewed
Check these conditions
- This route requires a recognised qualification or a comparable university degree and a specific qualified job offer. A helper job is insufficient.[1]
- The job generally need not match your qualification. Regulated professions require permission to practise.[1]
- Additional salary or pension conditions apply to a first move for work after age 45. Check the current threshold for your application.[1]
Documents to prepare
Starting points for preparation. The official checklist for your application may require additional documents.[2]
- Passport, CV and qualification certificates
- Recognition decision or academic comparability evidence
- Job offer or contract and employer documents
- Professional licence where required; visa-specific insurance evidence
Your next three steps
Describe your qualification
Enter your education level. Describe your occupation and recognition status in the profile’s experience and goal field.
Make gaps visible
Upload the requested evidence. Use the team’s feedback to prepare questions for the recognition body or employer.
Select the correct visa checklist
Use the embassy’s category for academic or vocational qualifications. Compare its requirements with your offer before applying.[3]
Nutchi’s document review does not confer recognition, a professional licence or a residence right. Those decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
