Germany Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) guidance: points-based eligibility, qualification recognition, language, proof of funds and application preparation.
The Germany Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), introduced in June 2024, allows skilled people from outside the EU to come to Germany for up to one year to look for qualified employment. During that time holders may work part-time and take trial employment.
Eligibility is based either on a fully recognised qualification or on a points system that rewards partial recognition, German and English language skills, work experience, age and previous ties to Germany. ZANS Consultants helps you assess your points and prepare a complete application.

Proof of funds to support yourself, often through a blocked account
Enough points under the points system if your qualification is not fully recognised in Germany
Partial recognition of your qualification
Professional experience in your field

Age, previous stays in Germany and a spouse who also qualifies
