My degree is in IT and Telecommunications and its Anerkennt in Germany. Thats means partially recognised. Since its non regulated career in Germany, and from the ZAB engineering, IT, the only way to show if its recognised its by submitting the certificate of compatibility given by ZAB. Does that also mean i fall under category 1?
is work experience must for opportunity card visa... i am a fresh a graduate and my degree and university both are fully recognized in germany... also, without work experience i make 8 points...
can i apply for the opputunity card without any work experience ,but i completed mba and german b1
Thanks for the info, i also heard about these docs.
Which is mandatory if our maekseet doens't have a word about whether we studied fulltime or distance education.
The embassy may ask you to submit a bonafide from your university stating the course you completed is regular or distant
@@gargierawatt Thx
Hello, can you tell me in how many days after you get visa interview?? And when you applied for opportunity card visa??
Hi Pursh, I got my appointment luckily in less than 10 days and my visa was approved in less than 3 weeks.
Thank you so much for this information. Please I would like to ask proof of English ( I have ielts) is part of the requirements, but which ielts in particular? General or academic.
Hey there, they have just mention B2 IELTs scoring above 5.6-6.
As per my understanding GT is just enough to communicate, However with opportunity card you would be looking out for English speaking Jobs at a global level I recommend Academic IELTS
Also to add, If you already have IELTS either one is accepted because Embassy haven’t specified it on the website
@@gargierawattthank you. I appreciate
@@gargierawatt wat did u di general or academic
We have to book health insurance or travel insurance?? For the visa interview
And from which company and how much will it cost in INR and for what minimum duration we can buy it for
Please share this
Hey Aditya
A private or public German health insurance is mandatory for the entire duration of 12 months
I advise to go with Expatrio as it’s recommended by German embassy, I found it cheaper. Also you don’t start paying until you reach Germany and activate your health insurance
Additionally you do need a travel insurance for first couple of months because your health insurance will take time to be activated once you land in Germany and complete remaining formalities
Expatrio gave me free 90 days travel insurance, may be you take a look on their website
Please don’t buy Indian Health insurance because they don’t meet all the requirements asked by German embassy leading to rejection of visa
Regarding payment, I haven’t paid anything yet, my premium will start once I complete city registration in Germany
Expatrio has 3 option to choose from , average INR 3000-6000 per month
Go through their website you will get an idea and then you can choose the right insurance for yourself
Hello Gargie. Thanks for the meaningful information. I do have 2-4 more additional query. Appreciate you can answer.
1. Which Germany consulate office you appear.?
2. In terms of fees any idea anything we have to pay or how we have to pay when we appear at the time interview like Demad draft or something.?
3. What questions suppose consulted asked related to Germany. Like why you intent to move Germany not other EU country.? Why you selected specific city.? Anything they ask you.?
If yes what should we expect answer. If you can provide answer in chat or make seperate video it will helpful to all chancenkarte candidates.
I do hope you’ll replay
Hello Bhavin, I went to German embassy in delhi,
answer to your remaining questions is Yes and Yes I will make a video on the same soon Thanks 😊🙏
@@gargierawatt appreciate, thank you 🙏🏻
Hi, Gargie. This is quite useful, however as you mentioned in the end, I am now working and have not resigned. But I want to go on the first of January, and my visa appointment date is the 23rd of September, thus there is already a 97-day gap. Is this okay?
Yes that’s okay, they can probably hold your passport and print the travel dates accordingly
Is work experience in the field of study a mandatory requirement? For example, I completed my engineering degree in Electronics and Instrumentation Engineering (EIE), but I currently work in IT as a software developer.
Hi Sandeep, it’s not mandatory but advised
However in your case, IT is a bottleneck profession and they need experienced resources so it should not be an issue
@@gargierawatt Thank you
I have one question...I have to book appointment first or fill form first....because in form date of arrival is mentioned and how can we give date without knowing anything about visa....please reply🙂
You need to give a date at least 6 weeks gap from your appointment date
I got my visa start and end date same as my videx form
Tysm for sharing
My pleasure 😊
Nice info. Can I show my friend's residence as proof of stay for atleast 6 months instead of hotel or Air bnb etc? What proof would they ask for if its my friend's residence?
Hey Khalid, yes you can show that for complete 12 months well, all you need is a written invitation letter signed by your friend with full address with PIN code also your tentative plan date of stay
@@gargierawatt sounds good. Thanks
@@gargierawatt what if we dont have a friend
@@EnlightenmentwithKundaliniyoga in that case just booking confirmation
Have they asked you for German language certificate???
@@DineshMaurya-us8yv yes Dinesh they asked me how much I know German and since I applied through option 1, I didn’t hesitate to say that I don’t but soon will start learning
for option 1 is it necessary to have 2yr experience? as per I have seen on their sight you just need valid degree or university.
Hey Vatsal Thanks for correcting me. A min of 2 years working experience is advised but not mandatory for option 1
@@gargierawatt Ok thanks 👍
To get opportunity card, Is there any other options,if you don't have blocked account
Hi Akhil, you can show last 3 months bank statements making sure the money or a sponsorship letter from someone living in Germany
What German language skill you achieved? And any sort of culture or ties with home country related question that they ask?
I don’t know German, I got the visa based on my education and experience
When you submit the VIDEX form there is an option to mention any references in Germany where you can give name of either your known contact or the owner of the place you booked for your stay
They didn’t ask me about any ties in the home country
They gave me a letter with 5 questions as explained in the video where I explained my intentions towards moving to Germany
Nice info 😊
Thanks 🙂
Hi, your videos have been very helpful.
If you could answer please.
On their website they say if u have 20 hours part time job contract from Germany, we don't have to show that 1200 Euro.
So my profession does not come under bottleneck profession. Actually, i have 8 years of sales and marketing experience (29 age).
Just wanted your opinion is there a possibility to get that part time job ( may be labour or any job) so that i dont have to show financial means.
Is it really possible if it is not a bottleneck profession.
Hi there, You have to secure a part time Job contract before appearing for Visa interview.
yes It is quiet possible to secure a part time job in sales and marketing itself.
I encourage you to please start applying.
Additionally since you are in sales and marketing where 2 -way communication is most part of the Job, hence consider learning German already in India or your home country as it will be cheaper than Germany
@@gargierawatt thanks a lot. Keep sharing your thoughts. Very helpful 👍
Hello Gargie, glad to hear that you got the opportunity visa, and thank you for the valuable information.
I Have a confusion in the term "Fully Recognised Degree" --> Can you tell me what degree you have took and how you shown that it is fully recognised,
Because I have completed my Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics and i am in the relevant profession for 3 years and also when checking in anabin website, I got H+ for my university, Is it enough to be qualified in Option 1 ?
Waiting for your response, I am helpless 😢...
Hey there, I recommend watching the next video In this playlist
That would clarify your doubts
Congratulations Gargie !
& thanks for sharing your experience which helps others.
I am waiting for my turn now. Need your suggestions
1) you mentioned about a letter from university.
- did you get that from ur clg or university ?
- did you get the transcripts as well or just a letter to confirm your course was full time ? Can you help me with the format
2) along with accommodation, Did u also get the health insurance for all 12 months ?
Thanks Sandy
1. It’s only required if it’s not mentioned in your degree certificate
If you do need this letter the visa officer will let you know and you can approach your university and ask for Bonafide they will have a template as since 2015 UGC has made it mandatory for the university to mention it clearly on degree certificates.
No I wasn’t asked for transcripts
2. Yes a health insurance is mandatory requirement on the day of your appointment for 12 months plus travel insurance for first few weeks because your health insurance will take some time to be activated
All the best, cheers
@@gargierawattalright.
Thank you.
And i must appreciate your speed of replying..😊
Oo. I just checked my degree certificate, it doesn’t mention “Regular”.
So its better i get the Bonafide as you mentioned.
Q again…
1) Should i approach my college or the University ?
2) Same is the case with my higher education certificate. Do i need to get a bonafide for masters as well or may not be required since the basic education requirement (degree) will be confirmed as regular. What’s your view ?
@@sandypatil125 1. University
2. You’re right that basic requirement is Bachelors however one of my subscribers was asked to show bonafide for his masters and not bachelors
So I guess your highest qualification is counted
Hey Gargie, God bless you for sharing really valueable information.
I have compiled these questions I would appreciate if you're able to answer.
1) Was there anything that lead for them to ask payment slip from his employer and yours and other weren't asked to provide? (It is because they had fews months with a new employer or is it because they have had only one employer or is it because they have few months only experience)
2) How many months of payment slip from employer was asked the embassy (6months, 3months etc...) ?
3) What was the deadline timeline provided to you to provide these additional documents ?
4) What do you recommend for someone currently not employed. As I'm a contractor Software Engineer and not fulltime employee. I have bad experience with having career gaps rejection for University Admission and rejection to jobs. So I'm afraid that career gaps will cause curiosity and embassy/officers will be more suspecios :( while still having excellent motivation letter and overall good application.
Best wishes,
Dawit
Hey there Thank you I am glad you find my videos helpful
1. I don’t know about others but one of them who was asked for pay slips was currently employed and yes that was his only work experience
2. 3 months
3. I was given 5 working days
4. I recommend a good motivational letter and good CV
Additionally try to attach letter of recommendation from previous managers/employer/linkedin Recommendations
Few print out of interview calls or at least job application acknowledgment would be helpful
By the way are you going with option 1 or 2 ?
You could also get A2 German certificate that would really add value to your profile
@@gargierawatt Thank you for the detail response 🙏
I'm taking Option 1 as I've recognized university and degree 🙂
@@dawithagos great 👍 all the best
Hi Gargie,
I hope you're doing well. Best wishes to you!
I'm planning to apply for the Opportunity Card (Germany) and hold a recognized master’s degree (18 years of education) listed in ANABIN. However, I would like to clarify a few points before submitting my application:
1. Is it mandatory to have a blocked account, a sponsor, or a job offer letter?
2. Is language proficiency proof (English/German) required, given my qualifications?
3. I am a PhD student in Malaysia and currently finalizing my thesis. I expect to complete it soon. I'm originally from Pakistan and have over six years of experience in my field. Should I apply for the Opportunity Card while in Malaysia, based on my current qualifications and experience?
Additionally, I would appreciate if you could share any other points from your experience, particularly regarding the application and interview process, that I should keep in mind before submitting my application.
Thank you! @blissful
@@israrahmad701 hey there,
If your university is H+ and your course is listed in anabin then you can directly apply through option 1
1. No, you can have anyone of the income/ financial proofs
2. No with option 1 language proficiency test results are not mandatory
3. Well as far as I know Embassy has individual websites for each country of residence and so the list of documents and conditions specific to each country must be followed. You should ideally apply via German embassy is Pakistan
However I would advise you to check with VFS or embassy to be sure
@gargierawatt the intended duration of stay date in Videx form the planned travel date should be with in 90 days from the date of appointment or we can choose any day even after 90 days ?
There is no restriction on choosing the Travel date.
However, n case of Job seeker visa if your travel date is after 90 days of visa appointment then the embassy used to delay in visa stamping as they can only stamp your visa within 90 days of your travel.
(The source of the above is someone on RUclips sharing their experience with Job seeker visa )
Hence without risking I planned by travel in the prescribed timeline.
Please call embassy in case you want an official statement on that, nothing is clearly mentioned about National visa Travel date time line on official website. For Schengen/Tourist visa they have mentioned upto 15 days to 6 months
Hi, thank you for helpful information, after visa interview, within how many days we will receive update?
You will get this update on the day of your appointment
Usually 3-4 weeks is the processing time. If the embassy need further information or documents from you they will drop you an email
How much time did it take for you to get the response? And was it the same date that they asked you to come collect your docs on? @@gargierawatt
Hi there..how much time does it take in india from the day you apply at the embassy to the date of appointment? We in Pakistan are given 12-15 months wait time
Hey there, it’s about 15 days to 4 months max
Gargie, thanks nice info. Does age matters? I am 52yrs old BE Mech from prestigious Indian Institute and I just want to apply for 2-3 months visa. Can i show 3 months fund in blocked account?
Hey there, opportunity card is for job seekers
The age has no restrictions here however if you are older than 45 you get to show pension plan etc please visit India.diplo (embassy website for more information)
It will be difficult to secure opportunity card if the motivation is just to visit for few months
You could try to Schengen tourist visa that will allow you to stay for 90 days in 180 days period
Dear madam can you help? , I have a question regarding visa durability, how do they calculate validity of visa , is it start from date issue of visa or when person land in the country.
Start date of visa start date
So IELTS is not necessary if the degree is recognized in germany?
Yes it’s not required
How long did it take from the day of your application to the day you received the visa?(basically how long was the processing time)
Hey Jessica, it was less than 4 weeks However now I hear from my subscribers that the processing time has increased to 8 weeks
@@gargierawatt thank you!
What if Visa rejects and you're serving notice period? Can you consider this example?
To avoid that you could give travel date of the future and start serving notice period once your visa is approved
@@gargierawatt thank you, if visa rejected still can we re-apply and is there any cool down period?
what was the question asked in the embassy ?
Hello There, it solely depends on the visa officer and questions will vary for different candidates so please be prepared, please don’t ask me to leak the question paper 😬😅
If I search part time job then it is not necessary to show the block account??? Can you tell without block account how much money required??
My profession is a bottelneck profession did study gap matters ???
Hey there, study gap doesn’t matter as long as you have a clear motivational letter
Blocked account or personal savings of amount EUR 1027*12 months is required to show
If you already secure a job contract you don’t have to show many block account
However I still advise to show about EUR 1000-2000 in your bank
@@gargierawatt ok thanks for advice....i don't have a work experience but my profession is a bottelneck profession ....is that a issue....??
Is it better to disclose in application or visa that i have close relative is already living in Germany. Is it puts negative or positive effect on application
It’s positive impact, when you fill the application form there is a section for Reference in Germany/connection to Germany.
people who don’t have any connections usually put accommodation owner’s details or In the case of students they give universities contact details
Hi ma'am Congratulations 🎉
I have a small query. I applied Opportunity Card Visa on 24 June 2024. Could you know any details about the waiting time? I'm believing that I will get an appointment within 24 September to 24 October (Max 3 to 4 months of waiting period) Is that right? Could you please clarify me?
Yes, that’s right
All the best 👍
@@gargierawatt Thanks for the clarity 🙂
hello..just wanna ask if you're going to Germany for job search so have you learned German also do Embassy ask regarding the same?
Hey there, no I don’t know German enough at this point
Luckily I have H+ degree so language score are not mandatory for me as I go with option 1
Either German or English test scores are mandatory aspect if you go by option 2
@@gargierawatt okay so mine degree is H+ as well. I did IELTS back in 2019 with 6.5 overall also I've 4 years of IT experience and already studied German till B1 but forgot now. In your opinion what are my chances to get this visa?
Can we book 1 weeks accommodation through AIR BNB and show that as a proof of accommodation for the initial days and after that I can find a hostel or rental flat
Hi Aditya, I recently got to know visa that visa is being refused if 12 months accommodation is not shown
If you plan to not book your accommodation for 12 months then at least show confirmed booking for 6 months and additional funds in your account let’s say you show EUR 1027*12 months plus 600*remaining 6 months
Otherwise high chances your visa will be rejected
Is recognized degree enough for option 1 or is 2 years of work ex also necessary along with that?
Fully recognised degree or 2 years of vocational training is mandatory… job experience is not mandatory requirement for option 1 and option 2… However it holds value in your visa application and job search
Hi thank you for this valuable information, could you please tell me if they asked for German / English test result? Is it mandatory for option 1?
Either one of the languages. No it’s not mandatory for Option 1
@@gargierawatt did you find accommodation for 12 months or how did you manage that?
Showing 12 months of accommodation is mandatory or else you could show starting 4-5 months accommodation and mention in the motivational letter why you don’t have arrangements for the entire duration. However in this case you will have to show additional funds that proves security of your stay in Germany
There are various videos on RUclips to learn how you can book accommodation in Germany to give you an idea
@@gargierawatt hi do we need our degree certificate attested? If yes then which one?
@@MobileShotsno just carry 2 photocopies of your degree and original degree in case the visa officer want to see originals
That was interesting story as well as informative too…
I have applied for opportunity card on July 1st and its been 2months….I’m so impatient and filled with anxiety always thinking about when am i gonna get the appointment date and over doubtfull of did i fill the form for waitlisting correctly….so could you help me with the timeline how long does it takes for fixing an appointment( I’m from chennai)
Hey Abhi I totally get your frustration on being on waitlist
I personally was on waiting list for 3 months for Job seekers visa before I could get an appointment and then the discontinued Job seekers visa category l😂
But I got lucky in opportunity card as I got my appointment in less than 10 days waiting time and visa got approved in 3 weeks
On a positive note I believe once you have an appointment the visa processing would be quicker… I wish you more patience and strength to go the the waiting period as the wait is worth it… I can’t tell you how excited I am to travel soon 🤗😊
@@gargierawattso do you need to apply again for opportunity card visa or the job seeker visa is converted to oppurtunity card?
@@rahul54311 Job seekers visa has been discontinued with the launch of opportunity card. At present opportunity card is the only job search visa for Germany
@@gargierawatt Do you got prioritised while applying oppurtunity card visa because of you applied job seeker visa previously?
I submit my application on jun 26 still i am in waiting list.
@@rahul54311oh no not at all on 2nd June all the waitlists were canceled I had to create a new request for opportunity card…
Can i apply for a duration of 6 months with blocked account with funds enough for 6 months to apply for chancenkarte?
I personally don’t know anyone who has done this…However in the VIDEX form in Travel date section you can select travel start and end date
And once you place a check box for 12 months then it automatically selects visa duration of 12 months
I also see there is no asterisk on 12 months check box which means it not a mandatory field
So if you don’t really have sufficient funds for 12 months and you want to give this a shot you could try but it will be an experiment as no one at this point in time knows about it
Also make sure you clearly mention in the motivational letter that you want to only stay for 6 months and show accommodation booking for entire 6 months
Again I would say this will be an experiment to be sure you could also call embassy and check what they say
@@gargierawatt Thank you so much for your feedback, really helpful to me. I have no choice but to experiment and see how it goes. Wish me luck. 🤞🏻 And if you know anyone with experience that might have the answer to this please let them know they might have a confirmed answer. And thank you again.

@@gargierawatt i have another question if you don't mind. Can i apply to the old job search visa, I've read online that it can be issued for 6 months. But not sure if it'll available?
I did be ece in recognised university
But i am working in IT, having 5 yrs of experience.
Can i opt for option 1
Hello Logesh, IT is one of the bottleneck profession where Germany is facing skilled workers shortage hence chances are higher for you to get the visa
Please prepare a good motivational letter where you can mention why you were inclined towards IT than ece
At the interview they will ask you whether your work experience is in the same field as your education at least I was asked
For option 1, a fully recognised degree is mandatory requirement which you fulfill so yes you can opt for Option 1. Additionally if you add German language that will be a plus
My university is recognised and degree is not recognised however I recognised my degree via Zab. I can apply by option 1?
Yes absolutely 💯 with H+ university
Hi Gargie, did you complete your graduation from Indian University or German University? I mean inorder to have a recognised degree, it must be H+ status right???
Yes please check on Anabin database, you university (regardless of any country)should be listed on that as H+ to go with option 1

What do you suggest, if they ask me in interview that what am I doing ? how should I response them, should I hide my current status or explain about my PhD ?
Hello Hami, It’s always better to speak your truth, they might conduct background verification in few cases so I would advise if asked you should tell them the truth
However please write a strong motivational letter which speaks your clear intention of seeking opportunity card for Job search purposes only…
If your documentation is true I believe it’s easier to get this visa at least in 2024. All the best 👍😊

If I talk about my PhD, will they ask me for a No Objection Certificate or not ??
Also, the person who collects the documents are the same as the interviewer or they are different people??
Blocked account has to be opened before appearing for VFS or do they allow something like conditional visa based on blocked account?
Blocked account has to be opened and same has to be presented to the officer on the day of your appointment

Regarding visa start date, whatever travel start date you will give in the VIDEX form your visa will start on that day
In case of me my visa started on 19th however I got a better deal on flight in sep first week, so yes these days will be deducted from 12months period

Hi can I get your contact..I need to ask questions regarding process..please share
Hi, are they asking us to go to university and ask university to send a letter to their email adress?
It depends on the type of degree you did, there are few courses which are acceptable as Distant learning and most are required to be regular type of courses
They will however give you time to submit the pending documents as per my experience
Does it mean They won’t accept Distance Learning / Online university degree not from my own country(bachelor degree in Computer Science) ? Even if it is full-time study? My university is not recognized in Germany. Do I still have a chance through point based system?
Hey there, if your degree is not H+ then you must go with option 2 which is point based system and you must follow the procedure to get your degree recognised
Along with that language test results are mandatory
If your distant learning is accepted or not that you can check in anabin portal by typing your course name and read about it
Please watch my video on full list of documents I have briefly shown there how to find out if your course as distant learning is accepted or not
@@gargierawatt Thank You for replying and helping me out with infos ❤️
@@gargierawatt my degree is distance learning but on anabis it is h+ and it also says distance is allowed. so sld be good right?
Hello there
Kindly help me I am a teacher by profession but I can't pursue my profession as a teacher because it requires high german language skill and I have done masters in zoology so is it would b a problem for me getting a visa. I can do other jobs related to my subjects but I don't have experience of them. Plz reply
Hello there, In your case see I am not sure what age group you fall into, if you are under 27 then you could still give it a go as Changing ones profession would be easier at the start of your career and easier to create a motivation letter.
However if you have a lot of experience in teaching then I would advise you to please learn german in India at least till B1.
As per my understanding bottle neck profession like IT and Nursing has lot of opportunities for English speaking crowd however for other profession German is very much needed
This is based on my knowledge, Final decision is yours Sir
Hello, i have done my diploma instead of 12th and degree is distance learning from recognizrd university. Am i eligible for this?
As per my understanding Distant learning is not considered in option 1. There are exceptions for few courses please look into Anabin database
Diploma and degree with more than 2 years of experience(advised not mandatory) can still apply through Point based system
However you will have to get your qualification recognised through the mentioned authority. You can check with them if they can recognise your distant learning degree. You need min of 6 points to score. kindly go through

What if current one year gap work experience, Total 11 years IT technical experience but currently not working is there any negative impact to get visa? Applied 20 days back for opportunity card waiting for slot availability, no Germany language A1 certificate. Your answer on this pls?
Hi Jay, if you have fully recognised degree then work experience and language proficiency in German is not mandatory
However it is advised to show relevant experience to increase your chances of approval
In point based system you can show last 7 years of experience gap doesn’t matter just have a strong motivational letter.
All the best 😊
Thank you so much for motivating and valuable information@@gargierawatt
@@jayapaule you’re welcome 😇
@@jayapaule Hey I have similar profile to you. I have 5+ years IT background but currently not employed. But I fear the embassy officers wouldn't like it as they would think if you're not employed here you will probably have less chance to get job in Germany. From my experience career gaps aren't well accepted when trying to apply for universities, jobs etc... so I think it might need a different approach.
Do you got Visa approval? (Y/N) and Why?
Y because I qualify and deserve it
I’m having a WFH job in IT. Can i continue my current job till i get a new opportunity in germany with this visa?
Yes you can continue with your current Job and submit your offer letter and payslips as a proof of employment
However you must quit your current job before entering in Germany because according to Law you pay tax in India and hence you can’t work in Germany without a valid work permit or business visa
Hey ! I have done my masters and done internships also currently working since 11 months i don’t have experience of 2 years and degree is also recognised can i apply for opportunity card ? i am eligible for that ?
Hey there, yes with fully recognised degree you are directly eligible
@@gargierawatt actually i checked my university is fully recognised but my course is not listed i have done masters in industrial microbiology but there is only masters in science options so what should i do ? The course is related to science only but they don’t specify
@@gargierawatt thanks for the reply ☺️
@@smritirajput2667 what about your bachelors
Please take prints of your bachelors as well and regarding your Masters course please send an email to ZAB and see what they say
I need your help to prepare all the the documentations required for the process. Will you help me plz through call or any source?
Hey Deeprash, thank you for your belief in me.
I am however not providing any end to end support as of now as I am busy with relocation and job search
However if you would like to start preparing your file yourself and ask me any doubts you may have I could help you at this point in time
Hii me and my husband both have to eligible for Chancenkarte me go with option 1 and my husband go with option 2 so i thought to show 5 lakh each for current account and show current account statement for each instead of blocked account and one month hotel booking so is it ok ? Or can i use one blocked account for both?
Hello there, for both option 1 and option 2 bank statements can be shown as proof of financial support at least 1027 EUR/month
If you are only showing 1 month accommodation then I feel the motivational letter isn’t strong enough
It sounds like you haven’t planned ahead your job search and it might give an impression that you could use this visa for another purposes like travel in Schengen region etc
I would advise show planned accommodation for 4-6 months
You can choose to show accommodation in different cities and let them know as you move ahead in job search you will know where to spend most of the time
I hope I make sense to you. We are basically trying to convince the visa officer that job search is your first priority and you are well prepared
Additionally you need to show additional funds to support your stay for 12 months if you haven’t booked stay in advance.
All the best 😊🙏
Please know that I am not visa expert However I did a lot of research before applying for my visa so I am sharing the above advise based on my understanding and knowledge
Hello there
Kindly help me I am a teacher by profession but I can't pursue my profession as a teacher because it requires high german language skill and I have done masters in zoology so is it would b a problem for me getting a visa. I can do other jobs related to my subjects but I don't have experience of them. Plz reply
@@MamoonaNazir-on7ug Hello there, In your case see I am not sure what age group you fall into, if you are under 27 then you could still give it a go as Changing ones profession would be easier at the start of your career and easier to create a motivation letter.
However if you have a lot of experience in teaching then I would advise you to please learn german in India at least till B1.
As per my understanding bottle neck profession like IT and Nursing has lot of opportunities for English speaking crowd however for other profession German is very much needed
This is based on my knowledge, Final decision is yours Sir
Well, friend. I applied Germany opportunity card visa June 25th. Till now not yet recieve the mail for VFS interview. That's y asking . within 13 days you got VFS interview schedule. But not yet receive any mail .Do you predict the days baffar time for VFS interview for me.
:) are you able to see your waitlist in vfs website?
Please check your spam folder as well, because in case you missed their email after 48 hours they will put you back in waitlist
If you did not really receive the appointment in that case WAIT is the only option.
Yes, I can view. It's currently active.
@@jananiganesh7750 Active is fine, please check in your spam also for any email from vfs, as I said if you miss their email after 48 hours you status will change to waitlisted again
Thanks for the information
I applied on june 26th still on waiting list.
Hi,firstly congratulations for your VFS interview. Well i had a small doubt. When you will applied for opportunity card Germany at which date mam. Tell the exact date. Why asking this question na. I applied june 25 th Not yet receive till now for VFS interview
But 4 to 5 days before applied the persons got VFS interview. It helps much for my upcoming process. Tell the exact date you applied 2024 and when you get the vfs interview. Its my pleasure to talk to you.

well that's strange because Appointment wait list works on first come first serve basis.

I think I applied for it on 15th June and got the appointment email on 27th or 28th June
may I know what visa type did you apply for ? and did you friend applied for the same category as you??? waitlist will differ for different categories
@jananiganesh7750 mine is 26th june still not get any appointments. Did these persons applied for oppurtunity card?
@@rahul54311 well, yes Rahul I applied for opportunity card. If you get invite from VFS. Kindly please inform me. Incase ,if I get mail from the VFS interview. Sure I let you know. We two are waiting for the same category that's y asking to know whether we get a same month or else it differ.
@@jananiganesh7750 ya sure. I have a doubt you said that some people got appoinment. Is they applied for same category?
@@jananiganesh7750 Have you applied in bangalore vfs ?
I don't have any work experience after graduation having 2years gap, and my degree is recognised, am i eligible to option 1
Yes you are eligible However write a strong motivational letter explaining about your gap and why you choose to start working in Germany instead of India
@@gargierawatt thank you 😊
Hi Mam kartik here actually my name is passport is Kartikeyan and name is degree and marksheet is Karthikeyan so there is a difference in h and i but rest in all experience certificate is Kartikeyan so wanted to know this will affect my visa rejection or is there any alternative solution to overcome this like making a name affidavit pls pls pls let me know about this because its very important
Hey Kartik, what’s the name in your birth certificate?
@@gargierawatt it's Kartikeyan radhakrishnan
Will this name issue create a problem
@@kartikradhakrishnan6013 I would suggest get it corrected if possible, or else on the day of your appointment you can proactively talk about this with the visa officer, if they need any letter regarding the same they will let you know and will give you time accordingly
Proof of accommodation ? How many months need to book?
best 12 months, otherwise atleast first 3-4 months and explain how you would support rest of your stay as plan of action in the motivation letter
don't forget to show additional funds to ensure your stay is secured
@@gargierawatt blocked account enough? Or extra ?
@@ahammedvk4728 1027*12 months for your monthly expenses
If you haven’t arranged accommodation for 12 months you need to show funds for that too 1027 per month won’t be enough If you pay rent also from that money
That’s my understanding about it however decision is only yours
All the best for your appointment
Any one from bangalore embassy
mam my master degree on distance learning. Can i eligible for this opportunity card? please guide me
Hey there, there are few degrees which are eligible even if it’s a distance learning
Please check on Anabin database. If you watch my video on full list of documents I have shown how to check if your distant learning course is eligible or not
@@gargierawatt Thank you so much mam for your valuable response.
R u going for study or job?
Hey there, opportunity card visa in only given to Job seekers with a work permit to work 20 hours per week
If you looking to study in Germany please go through Study visa
Pls tell age limit
No limit mentioned However chances are better if you are under 45 also in point based system you score different points based on which which age group you fall in
Is pte acceptable?
IELTS and TOEFL are accepted
Basically certificate with ALTE Qmark
I guess PTE does not have that
Hii,I am from Bangladesh. I Completed my BBA program at H+ University around 7-8 months ago. My degree needed to zab verrify.I have no job experience. English proficiency B2 Ielts 5.5. Am I eligible for Opportunity card?
Yes you can apply however English test scores should be above 6 as per my understanding
I still advise you to check your score on

Also please do read embassy’s official website for Bangladesh
dhaka.diplo.de/bd-en/service/visa-einreise/-/2669540
@@gargierawatt Thank you for the reply. They didn’t mention any point on the website just mentioned B2 in English proficiency, Which is (5.5-6) in IELTS. Also, I have plans to learn German A1 before document submission. My age is 25 = 2 points, and my degree BBA is 4 years in H+ University. Just needed to verify the certificate from Zab = 4 points, a total of 6 points. Is that correct? I am a little bit confused about it. Am I eligible or not?
@@mohamadredoy1062 since your university is H+, yes you qualify… if BBA is listed in anabin then you don’t even need ZAB verification just take print out from anabin database
@@gargierawatt Okk, Thank you for clearing up my confusion 😊.
@@gargierawatt Mam, it will be great for us. If you make a video about the embassy interview. What type of questions do they ask about yourself or your Degree related.
