Wow, this is incredibly informative! I've always dreamt of living in Germany, and this 'Opportunity Card' seems like the perfect avenue to make that dream a reality. The fact that it doesn't require a job offer upfront and allows for a year of job searching with part-time work is fantastic. Plus, the points-based system seems fair and transparent. Thanks for shedding light on this exciting opportunity 😊❤
Glad the video was helpful!
This is literally a bot comment damn wow😮
the problem with opportunity card is 12 months block account, and its difficult to get part time job before coming to germany
Yes it can be difficult. But some people can land a part time job based on their profession
Wheb you mean "a part time job up to 20 hrs" , I assume this is undertood that the applicant does not need to have this job secured before applying right? I think it would be very difficult to even get a part time job before arriving to Germany.
no , you need part time job before coming to germany otherwise 12 months of block account is required. @@enriquegaleano9972
Thanks for the platform Ashan, it helps enlighten us on this great and unique process. I have a question please.
I'm not in my home country, can I get the opportunity card application from the German mission/embassy where I reside?
It should be possible but we have to wait till May when further details are launched
Can I be exempted from English with a master's degree from Greenwich University, UK, in 2010?
I am qualified for the visa could you please tell me what is the next process ? How can i book appointment with german embassy?
I got 7 points with degree, experience and bottle neck profession. But i dont have proof for German language and English language so am i eligible?
Should work
@@ahsanfinance To qualify for the Opportunity Card, person must meet three basic requirements AND reach at least 6 points in 8 categories.
Basic requirements are 1.funds 2. university degree or vocational training 3. German A1 or English B2..
While calculating points for categories even if i dont have English C1/German B2 i am getting 10 points..
But they mentioned language certificate mandatory in Basic requirements which is necessary
So somewhere i am getting confused.
Appreciate the your help on this. Thanks in advance
Where are you getting this info from? As there are only 4 categories where you can get points from.

To prove financial security, you said we can provide a proof of contract employment of a part time job, does this means i have to get a part time job first before applying
If you cannot open a blocked account with the required money.
@@ahsanfinance Just curious to know how to apply for part time in Germany from India so that we don’t need to show the fund? Reason is why to block 10 lakhs rs unnecessarily.
Pls confirm when the job portal will open for opportunity card.
You are using the wrong tense. There is no form to fill out because this program has not gone live yet.
You are correct.
My university has H+ status and my degree which is Bachelor (Honours) of commerce has "Entspricht" status in the Anabin, But my university is not listed under degree awarding institutes on degree popup and similarly the university doesn't have my degree listed. (My degree and my university are mentioned in the Anabin but both are not in the same page)
So I would like to know my degree is recognised or not.
I kindly request you to clear my doubt as soon as possible
Thank you
Can you provide the details for your degree and university?
i dont have ielets but i have english medium certificate for university can i apply for this opp card
Hi Ahasn,
Could you please confirm whether certification of English language proficiency is still required, even though my university (H+) and degree (recognized as equivalent to a German degree type) are fully recognized in Germany according to the Anabin website?
If your degree is recognized then you do not need any other certificates for the application. You can direcly apply for the Opportunity card
@@ahsanfinance Thankyou so much Ahsan.
Can i get IHK certification from India only for accounting jobs in Germany
According to the IHK website, yes you can . Here is the official wording "Anyone with a foreign professional qualification can have it recognized in Germany - regardless of their nationality, current place of residence and residency status. The prerequisite is that their qualification is officially recognized in the country in which it was acquired"
Hi ahsan,regarrding the IELTS score card,is it required to be new current one.Since i have eligible IELTS score card of necessary requirements which i did one year back.Is it valid
Generally a less than 12 month old document is required but the requirements details will be released by June so we can confirm then

Which website have you applied at? Because the Official website will not be available before May 2024
during video time 7:10 you said "your spouse also meets the minimum requirements of the opportunity card." My question is what do you mean by minimum requirement, did you mean that spouse shouls also get 6 score. Thanks
Yes a minimum score of 6
Hello Ahsan , I hope you are doing well ! Could you please help me with one question I am very confused about it . Currently I am working as working student job from last 1 year and In July I will be finishing my masters . So I think I won't be able to do a working student job anymore .
But If I enroll myself in a German language course as I am planning to learn German for 1 year can I still continue my working student job ?
Could you please guide on this ?
You might not get a study visa in your case. You will most likely have to convert your visa to a job seeker visa. So no you wont be able to work as a werkstudent.
@@ahsanfinance yes you are absolutely right , I went to visa office they told me same thing , but they suggest one more thing to apply for language visa so the visa status gets changed and learn language in VHS . Thank you you are always helpful
Hello, I have a TRC in Romania and it's a Schengen country now.
Now can I go to Germany and find a job and work there?
Unfortunately i am not aware of the rules in other countries but I dont think people are allowed to work on Temporary work permits
I dont have a college or graduation degree. Only studied till 12th in India. I am working as a freelance mobile application developer. Is there any change for me getting this visa ?
This type of visa might not be for you. You should look for a job in Germany first and try to come directly on a Job Visa
currently have a student visa for Germany and my_qualifications are 3 years of experience in QA software testing. So I was thinking whether I should choose the path of student visa and try for jobs and convert it into work, since I lost interest in masters. Or should I apply from India itself for jobs that offer visa sponsorship or come there in job seeker visa and try or trying for a job in student visa and converting it. I am totally confused on making a decision, your suggestions will be a huge help to me.
You can always apply for full time jobs while being a student in German. This way you dont have to leave Germany and go to interviews in person.
I’m eligible for Opportunity card, i have a question.
If i move to Germany on opportunity card, do i have to work in my field only or i can work in any field? Like any warehouse, manufacturing plant. Please answer
According to the current info, only the field you are given the card for. But you can work part time in any field while you search for a job.
I have applied for germany job seeker visa in September 2023 but still it is in waitlist, so am i eligible to apply for card opportunity visa as well..?
Yes these are two different things. But we will know more in the next few weeks.
If spouse is going on opportunity card visa so her block accounts is necessary or not? Because husband has already block account on opportunity card visa.kindly reply this question
The spouse will also need a blocked account
Hi Sir. I am from Pakistan. I want to know that as the opportunity card is going to be effective from 01 June 2024. The German embassy Islamabad will open the appointments for opportunity card and we have to submit documents on interview? or there is another way or website to apply? This is the only question left behind. Please take this into consideration. Thank you.
We have to wait and see how the Embassy releases the appointments . Most likely it will be under the same category that they already have for appointments.
@@ahsanfinancehi do you apply behalf of me
Hi, I'm getting confused about that point you've mentioned during the last 7 years after graduation.
I graduated in 2018 and have 5 years of work experience. Can I get 3 points with that?
Also, is it mandatory to know the german language? I have ielts, but I haven't got any german proficiency certificate.
Well Germany always makes things complicated. You will at least get 2 points based on what you have said. German is not mandatory but only English will get you 1 point max
@@ahsanfinance oh! I see.
Thanks for the reply, btw.
Glad to help
Bro i completed btech in electronics and instrumentation but working in mechanical for the last 9 years. Is it possible to apply for opputunity card?!
Yes it should be possible
Hi Ahsan thank you for this informative video.
My educational background differs from my job experience. I've done my bachelors degree in arts yet my work experience in the field of IT. Im working as a data entry operator since last 4 years. My question is will this combination of my degree and work experience score some points for this visa?
Hello there, honestly speaking the information that we have at the moment only focuses on the Degree and Relevant work experience. So based on the current info, you might not get the score. That said , we have to wait until further info is provided to be totally certain.
Alright, thank you
But in German embassy Karachi, there is no option of appointment for Chancekarte only job seeker appointment are available. Is it already implemented?
No, this is supposed to launch in June.
We are in June-2024 bro...😅
Sir, kindly can you tell me that i only have 1 year of worl experience after my degree. So am I eligible to apply jor JSV?
Your points would be reduced as I have mentioned in the video if you have less work experience than required
Is German A1/A2 certificate acceptable from NUML (national university of modern languages)?
No at the moment it is not acceptable
Will IELTS academic test certificate work ?
Yes it should work
Hi can you make a detailed video on Job seekers visa ? As I am really confused on the total experience they need for JSV !! some video say 3 years are fine and some say that 5 years mandatory
May I ask What field are you working in?
@@ahsanfinanceas a software developer how much work experience I require?
Good morning, am an IT System Analyst with British passport holder. Can I just travel to Germany and apply for the blue card whilst in Germany ? Or I will have to do it whilst still outside of Germany ?
Since brexit the rules have changed for British Citizens. You will need a job contract that fulfills the blue card requirements. If you have that, then you can apply for the blue card while being in Germany
@@ahsanfinance thank you very much for the prompt response . Loving your contents
Glad you like my content 🙏🏾
Can i be self employed by registering my own business after arrival Germany by this chance card ?
Unfortunately no, this card is designed for Regular Employees
But if we already have a job offer then no need for a block account??
No you do not need a blocked account if you have an offer letter
Can I take opportunity card only for 6 months with Proof of fund for 6 months stay ?
Yes that should be possible
@@ahsanfinance thank you
I have a master degree from Germany (bachelor from foreign country). After masters from Germany, I moved to an another EU country for work. Now I have a job offer from a German company and I need to apply for a work visa. Can i apply with my German degree? Does it matter if my past degree from abroad is comparable or not, since I have one german degree? I can't find a detailed explanation on this matter. Can someone tell me about this? thanks and have a nice day :)
PS: My german degree is relevant for the job. I am in science field (research and lab work)
If the salary is in Blue Card Range then its better to apply for Blue Card directly instead of any other visa type
@@ahsanfinance Thanks for the response. In this case, do i need to show comparability of my past degrees?
With the new law, you don't need to show your degree in certain Fields like IT among others
Is ukvi ielts approval for opportunity card
Generally IELTS is ok but I am not sure about UKVI ielts. May I ask which country are you applying from ?
If I submit medium of Instruction(English) certificate from my university where I completed my bachelors degree, Am I exempted from writing Language test like IELTS? I’m confused because in other videos no one mentioned about this medium certificate.
This option depends on your country. Studies in certain countries would be accepted this way but not all.
I’m from India, so am I exempt from IELTS for opportunity card?
No you would need IELTS or TOFEL
@@ahsanfinanceBut brother how can you be so sure that we Indians need ielts or TOEFL but English medium certificate would not suffice, pls tell, I'm very confused because this is the only condition I'm not fulfilling
Can one Change this visa to a study visa? For master's or PhD.
This visa is to boost the work force in Germany, so I don't think you would be allowed to convert to a study visa for masters. Phd might be a different story
Is deadline is finished?
You can apply for the opportunity card at your local German Embassy or consulate
If a person already on job search visa can apply for it or not?
Unfortunately there isn't much clarification regarding this question, however some sources indicate that the opportunity card would be replacing the job Seeker visa. This would indicate that conversation between the two would not be possible, but this is only speculation.
will an IELTs exam certificate from 2017 be accepted as proof for English language proficiency?
Unfortunately no
@@ahsanfinancehow can I prove my English proficiency by showing that the university I attended provided all classes in English?
UKVI IELTS 5.5 SCORE WILL ACCEPT STILL VALID@@ahsanfinance
are german and english language certifications necessary ?
Yes, it will determine your points
Can PTE ACademic or PTE core for english certificate is acceptable for the german opportunity card
I inquired from German embassy. They usually ask for ielts
@@hakmanavitharanageigangaku3761 thankyou so much for information.
Can I submit English proficiency certificate from my university rather than going for IELTs test. Kindly let me know.
Unfortunately an IELTS or TOFEL certificate would be needed
Concise and well explained. I love the content and flow of this video. Very useful! ❤
I just have some questions:
1. What documents would be valid proof of work experience. Something like Certificate of Employment issued by the company sufficient?
2. What would be the average processing time of the visa? (Though we might get this info once it is out)
3. Is it advisable to book for an appointment in advance. Like would it be allowed to reserve an appointment with the embassy as soon as it's out? For ex June 1, 2024?
1. Reference letters or Certificate of employment
2. As this type of visa hasn't been released yet, so we don't know the waiting time yet
3. Details would be released by May, so we have to wait till then.
Ill make an updated video as soon as further details are released
@@ahsanfinance thanks! Looking forward 😁
How do you get the proof of English?
I scored 6 points , but do not have work experience. Should i go with it .
Did you do a self-check here: www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/self-check-opportunity-card
@@ahsanfinance yep
@@ahsanfinance I also checked my university on Anabin which shows H+. So,may be i will get 6 points for my degree and 2 points for age.I scored 7 in ielts which adds 1 point to the total.
@@ahsanfinance I checked my university on Anabin which shows H+ (so i will get 6 points). 2 points for the age. I have scored 7 in english test which adds 1 more point to the total.
Then based on the points system you should be eligible to apply.

Some sort of official proof is necessary

Sir, I have no knowledge of the language. I know little bit English but i don't know german language. So please sir reply the comment.
You either need an English Certificate or a German certificate to get points for language. If you don't show the certificates then you will not get any points for language

Can we claim experience as a freelancer?
This type of visa is designed for regular employees. You can look into other types of visa to Germany
Is their is any interview for this ?
With the current info, no interview. But we will know more in a few weeks
@@ahsanfinance or english to bol kety ha but koi certificate nahi is ma hmein kia option chose karna hoga jese ky beginner or intermediate
That is why the certificate is needed. As it will give you a grade based on your score
thanks, what about Duolingo English test
Unfortunately no
@@ahsanfinance😢
Total Score kitne hone chai ?
Minimum 6 point ls
Can someone between 45-50 years also apply?
It shouldn't be a problem as long as you get points from the other categories
Wow! That would be great. Many thanks!
English proficiency certificate from Bahria university Islamabad
No for Pakistan only IELTS, TOFEL & AEO would be acceptable
Can single mother bring her child along?
Yes but additional funds would be needed, for a child 50% additional salary/blocked amount would be needed.
How long does it take ? Like the visa process is simple or takes long time from Pakistan?
Again this type of visa will launch in May so I cannot exactly give you a time line for it.
If we have a remote job already can we get an opportunity card? Or do we need to apply for a part time job in Germany?
Bakwas haiii
Might be good for some
