Can skilled workers migrate to Germany via Germany Opportunity Card?

Yes, the Germany Opportunity Card is meant to invite skilled immigrants to fill job vacancies in the country. Jobseekers from non-EU countries can migrate to Germany and stay there for up to 1 year to look for employment opportunities in the country. The Opportunity Card is a part of the new Skilled Worker Migration Policy, which aims to facilitate the recognition of foreign professional qualifications in Germany.
