How to get Germany work visa or business visa ?
I’ll tell you — when I came to Germany before, and now again — firstly, Germany is a high-income country. So the minimum wage here is above 2,500 euros, and there are many jobs here. Many people come here to work and for settlement — from Arab countries, from Asian countries — and it’s a big country, not a small one. It has many provinces.
And to come to Germany, first of all, there is the visit visa. The Germany visit visa is relatively easier to get compared to other countries like Denmark, Norway, or Sweden — not very easy, but better than those countries. Many of my friends have received visit visas.
On a visit visa, what you can do is roam around a bit, see what the environment is like, make connections, meet people, and talk about your future. After that, if you want to come here for work, then for work they need highly skilled people.
By highly skilled people, it means either you are a doctor, or an engineer, or you are very advanced in computers — in cybersecurity or artificial intelligence — or you have any high skill. Because in our Pakistan, the majority of the population is unproductive. People say our population is huge so we are at an advantage, but our population lacks skills and education. So that population becomes a burden.
Therefore, what you have to do is work on yourself and make yourself capable — skilled and educated. Then, after that, when you come to Germany, you can search for jobs on different websites like LinkedIn or Germany’s own local websites. There you can generally find a job, because Germany is currently looking for highly skilled people worldwide — it’s even mentioned on their official website.
So when you get a job there, you can apply for a residence permit, and later you can convert that residence permit into permanent residency or apply for German citizenship if you stay there for only 5 years — because in the new law of Germany, they have made citizenship very easy.
So on the basis of a job, you can go there to live permanently. And inside Germany, the salaries are very good, the income is decent, and education is also free there for your children. You can also bring your family if you get a job there.
After that, about business — if someone says they want to start a business — then look, inside Germany already many people have started businesses. What kind of business do they want? They say they need some innovative idea that doesn’t exist in Germany — something that can become successful in Germany and can provide jobs to people there.
So if you have a new idea, a new startup, or some new technology — something new — then you can definitely apply for that in Germany. I will give you the link to the official site where you can see the details.
What you will have to do is prove that you have the required skills, you have the experience for that work, and you have to make a plan showing that this business will actually work in Germany. Then they give you a residence permit and a visa initially, which you can later convert into a residence permit.
Thirdly, you know, brother, that people go to Germany for studies. Germany also gives many scholarships, but those are offered at specific times during the year. Apart from that, you can apply for paid study programs.
But let me tell you an interesting thing — in Germany, there are no tuition fees. Meaning, if you get admission in a university, you don’t have to pay for education — only your living expenses, food, and accommodation will be your cost. Education itself is free inside universities.
So you just need to get admission in a university. Once you get admission, then you can apply for a study visa for Germany. So this is also a very big opportunity, and many people go using this option.
So you also have to make yourself capable — at least get enough education in Pakistan so that you can get admission in Germany.
After that, as for the other options inside Germany regarding living there — that’s it, that you can go there on a visit visa, explore settlement options, check different categories. Or I will give you a link below where there are many visas — you can read their official details and then apply according to that and prepare yourself.
In that, there are entrepreneur visas, investor visas, business visas, residence permits, student options, and if you want a job, there’s also a job option.
But one thing I can surely tell you — Germany has also made the citizenship law easier now. If you live there for 5 years, you can get citizenship.
But in these countries — European countries — one thing is certain: you have to learn the language. If you live in Germany, then learn the language — you will succeed. If you don’t learn the language quickly, then you will face problems.
The same thing applies in the Netherlands too, though in the Netherlands English is widely spoken. So try that whichever country you want to go to , learn the language of that country — at least enough so that when you arrive there, you can start some kind of work for yourself. Later, you can learn more there as well.
