Since Germany is facing labor shortage these days, the German government is going to expand its visa program to address it. The government plans to issue 2 lakh skilled worker visas by the end of 2024, which is 10 percent more than last year.
The German government has made changes to immigration laws, making it easier to work in Germany. The ‘Opportunity Card’ scheme makes it easier for non-EU workers and students to come to Germany. The reason behind this reform of the government is the vacancies in sectors like healthcare and technology.
By easing migration policies, the government hopes this will help boost the economy and ease Germany’s labor shortage. At the same time, people going to Europe for work from Asian countries are seeing this as a good opportunity.
Skill visa will be increased by 10 percent
The German government has increased the number of skilled worker visas by 10 percent for 2024, taking the total number of visas to 2 lakh by the end of the year. This means that there will be job opportunities in Germany by the end of this year.
Currently there are approximately 1.34 (13 lakh) million jobs vacant in Germany. The German government has changed its visa policies to attract workers from non-European countries.

On the lines of Canada, Labor has also benefited greatly from the German Opportunity Card. Germany’s Interior Minister Nancy Feser emphasized that the Opportunity Card has made the migration process easier. This has made it easier for skilled workers to get jobs in the country and advance their careers.
Student and Vocational Training Visa
Along with the worker visa program, Germany has also seen an increase in applications for student and vocational training permits. Student visas granted to non-EU citizens increased by 20 percent, while vocational training visas increased by almost two-thirds. Apart from this, the number of other visa applications in Germany has also increased.
