Chances Card: Points System for Non-EU Skilled Workers

6 Points Required for Eligibility

The German government has introduced a new points-based system for non-EU nationals seeking to work in the country. The Chancenkarte (Opportunities Card) requires applicants to score at least 6 points in order to be eligible.

Eligibility Criteria

The points system considers factors such as:

• Academic qualifications
• Language proficiency
• Professional experience
• Age

The Chancenkarte is valid for one year and can be extended if the holder meets certain criteria.

Application Process

Applications for the Chancenkarte can be submitted to the local immigration authority or the German embassy in the applicant's home country.
