Step 2: Gather Documents

- Collect all the required documents listed above and ensure they are translated into German (if necessary) and certified.

Step 3: Apply Online or at the German Embassy

- Submit your application online through the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) or at the German embassy/consulate in your home country.

- Pay the application fee (approximately €75–€100).

Step 4: Attend an Interview (if required)

- You may be asked to attend an interview at the German embassy or consulate.

Step 5: Wait for Approval

- Processing times vary, but you should receive a decision within a few weeks to a few months.

Step 6: Move to Germany

- Once approved, you can travel to Germany and start your job search. You are allowed to work part-time (up to 20 hours per week) during this period.

5. After Securing a Job

- Once you find a job that matches your qualifications, you can apply for a work visa or EU Blue Card (if you meet the salary requirements).
