Working in Germany for British nationals after Brexit
Since Brexit, British skilled workers are no longer recognized as EU citizens and require a residence and work permit such as the EU Blue Card to work in Germany. Before the UK left the EU, British nationals were able to live and work in Germany without restrictions. Today, they are subject to the same immigration rules as skilled workers from other third countries. Nevertheless, Germany remains a sought-after destination for qualified workers from the UK. The EU Blue Card offers British applicants an attractive option to work legally in Germany and settle down long-term. This card also opens up the possibility of a settlement permit and secures long-term prospects for permanent residency, offering British skilled workers stable future prospects in Germany.

3What British skilled workers need to know now – Working in Germany with the EU Blue Card
As of January 1, 2021, British nationals are no longer considered EU citizens and require a residence permit under the Residence Act to work in Germany. As third-country nationals, they must present an appropriate visa, such as the EU Blue Card or one issued under the ICT Directive.
Despite these new hurdles, the British labor market remains highly attractive for Germany: According to surveys, around 600,000 skilled workers plan to leave the UK as a result of Brexit, with Germany leading the list of desired destinations at 44%. This corresponds to a potential of over 260,000 well-trained workers who could significantly alleviate Germany's skills shortage.
British professionals often bring excellent qualifications and international experience, as well as English as their native language, which gives them a real advantage in internationally operating companies. The cultural proximity and high educational standards of the United Kingdom also facilitate integration into the German labor market.

Easier immigration to Germany
for British skilled workers without a visa
For many third-country nationals, the path to employment in Germany is fraught with bureaucratic hurdles, particularly the requirement to apply for a visa in advance. British skilled workers, on the other hand, benefit from a special regulation: As privileged third-country nationals within the meaning of the right of residence, UK nationals are permitted to enter Germany visa-free.
This means Britons can travel to Germany without a visa and apply for their residence permit—such as the EU Blue Card—directly at the relevant immigration office. This personal presence in the country significantly simplifies and accelerates the immigration process, which is a clear advantage for both employees and German employers.
