New Visa Rules in Germany Simplify Process for Nigerians Ready to Relocate and Work 

Germany has agreed to relax the standards for acquiring a Blue Card because it needs talented international workers.

Qualified non-EU foreign people must have a European Blue Card residence authorization to work in an EU nation.

The card expedites obtaining permanent residency as soon as 21 months after moving to Germany, making it easier for highly trained non-EU professionals to enter the EU.

Germany modifies the criteria for Blue Cards. Four new measures have been implemented to facilitate obtaining a visa and family reunification for foreign workers, as per the most recent information on Germany ServicePortal Berlin.

One of the modifications is a significant decrease in the yearly income threshold required to be eligible for a blue card.

According to local media, the German government cut the yearly average wage criteria for highly sought-after sectors, including IT, healthcare, and mathematics, from €58,400 to €39,682.80.
