Who this is for

This review is for a non-EU applicant with a concrete German employment offer, or a near-final offer whose salary and duties are known. It is especially useful when the EU Blue Card appears possible but another skilled-worker route may better fit the qualification, timing, or contract.

What is included

Before the call, you send the role description, contract or offer summary, annual gross salary, degree or vocational qualification details, and the city where you will work. We review the likely Blue Card criteria, the residence permit for qualified professionals, recognition questions, and any route-specific issue apparent from those materials.

During 75 minutes, we compare credible routes, identify assumptions that need an official answer, and order the preparation tasks. Within two working days, you receive a concise written route note, document gap list, and questions to raise with your employer or competent authority.

What is not included

The fee does not cover legal representation, certified translations, qualification recognition applications, appointment booking, form filing, or communication with a German mission or foreigners authority. We cannot promise issuance or processing times.

Your adviser and preparation

The session is led by Mara Vogel, a Germany mobility adviser who has supported international hires and employer HR teams with route preparation since 2018. Please redact bank details and unrelated personal identifiers. Bring your preferred start date, travel constraints, and any prior correspondence with an authority.

The process

  1. Send a short enquiry and choose an available call time.
  2. Receive a secure request list and submit only the relevant documents.
  3. Meet online or at our Berlin office for the route comparison.
  4. Receive the written note within two working days.

The consultation works best once the role, salary and qualification are concrete. If your offer is still speculative, we may recommend waiting or booking the focused criteria session instead.
