Hello everyone, I've been following this German job seeker visa for a while. But I have certain questions that I've not found answers for. As regards the proof of fund, I understand it's 720 euro per month and the visa is valid for 6 months. Now, say I want to be in Germany for just 2 months, that means I need 1440 euros in block account. Will they grant me visa on such arrangement? Or is it compulsory that I have 4320 in block account irrespective of whether I won't stay up to 6 months? 2 Likes |

jesse2019: - Some questions they asked: 1. Why do you want to move to Germany? (Be honest... culture, stability, ) 2. Where are you going to live? (share your address and proof of accommodation) 3. What companies are you planning to work for in Germany (Do a lot of research on your industry. Register on Xing.com, LinkedIn, mention companies in Germany you are interested in) 4. What will you do if you don't get a job in Germany? (Make sure you say you will come back to Nigeria) 5. Tell me about yourself? (share your educational and employment history) 6 Do you speak German (if you don't, demonstrate your plans to learn the language asap because it is very important) Tip: - Be confident - Don't lie - Have your facts and documents as proof - Dress smart 7 Likes 4 Shares |

Osumare2013: If you want to be there for two months, maybe you should just apply for a Visiting visa. The Jobseeker visa is for 6 months only and from what I know, I don't think you can pay for a shorter period. But I am not too sure. |

Just being curious about getting a job, is there a minimum of how much that must be earned to get the work permit? And is it similair to the UK tier 2 Visa in the terms of the companies limitations of employing people. While researching I saw one you get a work contract you can apply for the work permit but that was a post in 2016, is it still the same? 1 Like |

MRBENZENE: Hi, I am thinking of applying for this category of visa. I don't know if you know by any chance if one doesn't get a job can someone apply for a study or another visa? |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by MRBENZENE(m): 7:38am On Jul 02, 2019 |
ademeedee: In this visa category it is 6months visa and within this period you are to search for job in Germany and once you secure a job you go to the immigration office in the city and covert your visa to work permit or blue card. if you don't find a job within the 6months you will have to return to Nigeria, so u need to make adequate plans, but atleast one can find something doing even if it isn't that big then gradually you move up. 2 Likes |

umarabubakar303: yes you can study and work, but that will be limited hours for students. And you made mention of having someone in Germany i believe the person will be the best person to guide you and answer most of your questions so please try and have good communication with him/her. 1 Like |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by ademeedee: 8:10am On Jul 02, 2019 |
MRBENZENE: Okay, thank you for your prompt response. Do you know if it would be possible to transfer to a study visa or self employed in case if no job shows up? Besides from what I read you can't work on this visa, is it true until you get the work permit. I am also curious if there is minimum wage on how much to earn before the work permit can be given. Do know if this is similar to UK tier 2 visa where sponsorship is needed or once a job is gotten then you can apply for the work permit by yourself. Just trying to be weigh my options before I invest in it. � 1 Like |

ademeedee: from what i know you cannot convert this visa to student visa or self employed visa, you can only convert it to work visa. But after you have settled with the work visa you can enroll for higher studies. Yes you can't work on this visa until it is converted to work visa. Yes in all of Germany their is minimum wage and it applies to every sector definitely you will get not less than the minimum wage and you will get the work permit or blue card. for the UK tier 2 visa i don't know about that. |

Hi togobingi How are you. I am pretty new to this information. I have 6 years Cognate Civil Engineering Experience with a University Degree from Uniben. I want to find out if I am eligible and also. What Language Proficiency for English is normally requested? togobingi: |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by ademeedee: 12:12am On Jul 07, 2019 |
This is a long veeeeeerrrry long wait!!! Have you tried ringing the embassy to enquire? I follow a blog which has Indian citizens apply for it in their country and I know booking appointment is almost impossible but not this long! MRBENZENE: |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by Haryoureendey4(m): 10:08pm On Jul 07, 2019 |
Love this thread, following hopefully will share my testimony here |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by Nobody: 1:26pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
oikotas44: Hi Oikotass. Engineering is in demand in Germany. This website shows that there are more than 1,700 openings at the moment: https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/jobs/job-listings/ You have to check each job description to see if they require German language proficiency. You can start applying for jobs from Nigeria as some companies help with relocation (if they really like you). I will also recommend starting German classes in Naija before you travel. It's cheaper and it will help you integrate better and get many more job interview invitations. B1 German proficiency and above is usually required for most jobs. Check this website to see if your university and course is recognized by the German authorities: https://anabin.kmk.org/anabin.html You can print the page showing the results and take it as part of your supporting documents for your interview at the German Consulate in Naija. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

This is crazy! MRBENZENE: |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by MRBENZENE(m): 5:49pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
ademeedee: Yea this is very long, i haven't called the embassy, in India it is also difficult in getting appointment depending on your region, i was to get it there but felt i should come home and relax with family and do it with ease only to get to nigeria and see that waiting period. I don't know what to do in this case |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by MRBENZENE(m): 5:50pm On Jul 08, 2019 |
togobingi:Yea it is, what do you think i should do in this case? |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by Nobody: 8:16am On Jul 09, 2019 |
MRBENZENE: I would say you should still book the appointment anyway. It might be shorter, who knows ![]() I was told that I would hear back from them in within 4-8 weeks but I heard back from them in a week, so you never know. If you are in Lagos, I would also recommend asking the protocol officers outside the German Consulate for guidance. Nothing to lose at this point. All the best! |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by ademeedee: 8:19am On Jul 09, 2019 |
MRBENZENE: Hopefully something pops up soonest! What's your discipline? I am skeptical because my discipline is in the non-teaching aspect of education. I have been learning German for a while but still on the basics. Do you think I stand a chance? @togobingi I would like your honest opinion too. |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by ademeedee: 8:48am On Jul 09, 2019 |
togobingi: Oh. have gotten your Visa? What it recent? Have you travelled yet? What's your discipline? Sorry for being so inquisitive! |
Re: Job Seekers Visa Germany by Nobody: 10:15am On Jul 09, 2019 |
ademeedee: I got my visa in 2018 and have traveled already. My background is in IT. I don't know your background but I believe if you can prove that there is a requirement for your skillset in Germany, then you should be fine. Try and quote stats from the German government resources like this one to prove that they need your skills and that you will likely get a job: https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/jobs/job-listings/ 1 Like 1 Share |
