New policies for work permit in Germany

Germany has been enhancing its legal framework to be one of the top opted destinations for work overseas for software developers and IT professionals. It has been a priority for the German government. The sector is facing a shortage of skilled professionals.

The German government is simplifying the rules to migrate to Germany. It plans to streamline the process of German citizenship to attract international professionals. It also plans to relax the requirements for  German language for skilled professionals from abroad. Having proficiency in the English language would be sufficient.

Multiple companies in Germany are offering around 2 million job vacancies, according to the data by DIHK, which is the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The 2 million job vacancies can generate approximately 100 billion Euros and boost the economy of Germany.
