EU Blue Card requirements for Indian skilled workers
If you are an Indian citizen and would like to work in Germany, the EU Blue Card offers a legally secure path – provided certain requirements are met.
The requirements for Indian applicants include a valid job offer from an employer based in Germany, as well as a recognized university degree or comparable qualification that qualifies them to perform the job. A minimum annual salary is also required, which varies depending on the field: €48,300 gross for regular occupations and €43,759.80 gross for shortage occupations such as IT, engineering, mathematics, or natural sciences (STEM).
To ensure your degree is recognized, you can use the anabin database. Make sure the degree is rated as "equivalent" or "corresponds" and that the university has an "H+" status. Alternatively, you can apply for a certificate of comparability from the Central Office for Foreign Education (ZAB).
IT professionals from India also have the opportunity to obtain an EU Blue Card if they can demonstrate at least 3 years of relevant professional experience within the last 7 years and have theoretical knowledge at university level.
Are you unsure whether your degree or profession will be recognized? Our immigration lawyers will be happy to assist you with reviewing your documents and expertly assisting you in applying for your EU Blue Card for Germany.
Application process for the EU Blue Card
Step by step to the EU Blue Card
For Indian citizens who wish to apply for the EU Blue Card in Germany, a two-step procedure is required:
Step 1: Visa to enter Germany Since India is not a visa-exempt country, you must apply for a national visa before entering the country. You can obtain this visa at the German Embassy in New Delhi or at one of the relevant consulates general in India, depending on your place of residence. You can find a detailed list of all required documents on the websites of the German diplomatic missions in India. Our office will assist you in compiling these documents correctly and completely to ensure the prompt processing of your application.
Step 2: Applying for the EU Blue Card in Germany After successfully entering Germany, you will submit your application for the EU Blue Card to the immigration authority responsible for your place of residence in Germany. The required documents are similar to those submitted with your visa application, but may be subject to regional differences, for example, regarding forms or jurisdiction. Our immigration lawyers maintain regular contact with various German authorities and ensure that your application is submitted completely, correctly, and on time.

Accelerated skilled worker procedure for Indian applicants

This frequently means months of waiting and uncertainty for skilled workers and employers.
The accelerated skilled worker procedure offers a solution to significantly shorten this process: Your employer in Germany can submit the application directly to the relevant immigration authority before you even apply for your visa. This reduces processing times for both the entry visa to approximately three weeks and the EU Blue Card to a maximum of three weeks.
