Germany ponders easing Work Visas for non-EU Skilled Workers

The German Ministries of Economy, Labor and Interior are unanimous for recruiting more overseas skilled workers. This has been reported by the Reuters based on a paper that it has accessed.

The recommendation of the paper is awaiting the approval of the German Cabinet. Once approved, non-EU overseas graduates and workers having vocational training will be approved to arrive in Germany. They will also be authorized to search for German jobs within a specific time period. This is subject to fulfilling related language and qualification criteria, as quoted by Little India.

The immigrants will not be entitled to social welfare benefits while they are searching Jobs in Germany. Nevertheless, they will be permitted to be employed in jobs for which they are overqualified. They will thus be able to earn some money adds the paper.
