Basic information
According to the new Skilled Immigration Act, companies can allow trained employees and trainees to enter Germany in a so-called accelerated procedure, see Section 81a of the Residence Act.
The prerequisite is that the employees have completed vocational training that is or can be recognized in Germany, see also: https://fachkraefteeinwanderungsgesetz.de/.
Companies based in Bremen can submit an application for entry of such a skilled worker or trainee to the Migration Office.
Persons who do not live in Germany and wish to come to Germany as employees, trainees and students must continue to contact the German embassy in their home country and apply for a visa there, see our service description: "Residence permit for employment". -
