In recent years, Germany has been continuously working on its immigration policy and trying to simplify labor market access for immigrants and foreign workers, driven by a shortage of skilled labor. As a result, the large number of active job vacancies remains a major challenge for the country.
A survey conducted by the Munich-based IFO Institute found that 87% of family businesses are experiencing a shortage of qualified personnel - EURES, Report on Labour Shortages and Surpluses (2022). Professions facing shortages mainly include software, healthcare, construction, and engineering trades.
Against this backdrop, opportunities are opening up for foreigners aiming to live and work in Germany. Because of the labor shortage in Germany, foreign workers have the opportunity to apply for a work visa, for which the main requirement is holding the relevant qualification.
