Our Advises

If you have decided to build your professional future and your life in Germany, now is the right time tostart learning the German language. You will increase your chances of finding a job in Germany if you already have sufficient language skills. The only exception is for IT specialists– if you are one, you can look for a job in Germany without any knowledge of German. In this case, however, knowledge of English is a prerequisite.

Also, start compiling your papers/documents that you need to apply for your visa at the same time. Check the validity of your passport in advance.

Get quotes for health insurance, which you will need for the duration of your stay in Germany to look for a job. Proof of this must be attached when applying for your visa.

Don’t forget to apply for a clean criminal record in good time. The proof mustalso be attached to the visa application.

Once you have downloaded our APP Eurojobs PRO and registered, you can enter your CV from your dashboard. You can download it in PDFformat, print it out and also enclose it with your visa application.
