According to the Skilled Workers Immigration Act people who have either completed qualified professional training in Germany for a minimum of two years or people who have acquired a professional qualification abroad that is equivalent to domestic qualified professional training, as well as people with a recognized university degree, are considered skilled workers.

The Skilled Workers Residence Permit is a permit that allows skilled non-EU citizens to live and work in Germany. If you have a recognized vocational qualification, a job offer in Germany, and German language proficiency, you may be eligible for a Skilled Workers Residence Permit.

The qualified specialist must have an employment contract or a specific job offer and a qualification recognized in Germany. Skilled workers with academic training can not do jobs that require a university degree, as well as be employed in professions for which non-academic training is required. This must be a skilled occupation as semi-skilled occupations are excluded from this immigration act.

Skilled workers with vocational training: The employment of skilled workers with vocational, i.e. non-academic training, is no longer restricted to occupations with a shortage of jobs. With vocational training recognized in Germany, the residence permit for the exercise of a qualified job also allows these skilled workers access to all professions for which their qualification enables them.
