No Job Offer? No Problem.
The “Chancenkarte” is your 1-year pass to enter Germany, interview in person, and secure a Euro-salary career.
What is the Opportunity Card?
In June 2024, Germany changed the game. Unlike traditional work visas that require a signed contract before you enter, the Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) allows skilled professionals to move to Germany first and search for a job locally.
The “Game Changer”
Old “Job Seeker” visas did not allow you to earn money. The Opportunity Card allows you to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) for any employer while you look for your permanent professional role.
"Work part-time from Day 1. No job offer required to enter."
The 6-Point System: Do You Qualify?
To apply, you must hold a university degree (or vocational training) recognized in your home country and score a minimum of 6 Points.
Education
If your degree is partially recognized in Germany. (If fully recognized, you enter directly without points).
Experience
For 5+ years of relevant experience in the last 7 years. (2 points for 2 years).
Age
If you are under 35 (at time of application). (1 point for age 35–40).
Language (German)
German B1 level.
Language (English)
English B2 (IELTS/PTE) OR German A2.
Connection
Previous legal stay in Germany for 6+ months (Tourism doesn't count).
The Strategy
Most of our clients qualify by combining English B2 (1 Point) + Age <35 (2 Points) + Experience (3 Points). Don't guess your score — a rejected visa stays on your record.
The “Gatekeeper”: ZAB & Anabin Verification
You cannot simply assume your degree is valid. Germany is bureaucratic.
1. The Database
We check your degree in the Anabin database — the official German registry of recognized foreign qualifications.
2. The Rule
3. Our Role
A ZAB application takes 8–12 weeks. We identify this requirement immediately to prevent your visa application from being rejected at the embassy window.
Financial Requirement: The Blocked Account
Germany does not check your bank balance; they check your Blocked Account.
What is it?
You must deposit €13,092The amount €13,092 is specific to the Opportunity Card. Student visa amounts differ. into a German-approved bank account (e.g., Fintiba, Expatrio).
How it works
The bank “blocks” this money and releases exactly €1,091 per month to your local German account for your living expenses.
Why it's safe
If your visa is refused, the bank refunds the entire amount to you. We assist with the account opening process.
