Hello ! I will be applying for Blue Card visa in Mumbai. Could you please check and advise whether Police Clearence Certificate (PCC) is required for the Blue Card visa application. It is no where mentioned in the checklist but I just want to be sure. Please help.
Hello! Thanks for reaching out. I am sorry, I do not understand the difference between degree and certificate. In my case, I was asked to submit a copy of my college degree.
I hold an Indian passport and a German blue card. I am planning to travel to India. Do I need to book for a visa stamping appointment in India to re-enter Germany?
Hello! Thank you for reaching out. If you have a valid Indian passport and a valid Blue card(which is not expired), then you can re-enter Germany without any appointment.

Hi I have a job offer and planning to move to Germany (on a blue card Visa) sometime in 1st week of September. I have my VFS appointment after 2 weeks. Also, My job contract is going to be an unlimited job contract. I want to come to Germany in 1st week of September and then travel back to India for about 4 weeks from mid-Nov to mid-December. I would want to understand if this trip would be possible or not (as I definitely need to make this trip back to India)? If there are going to be challenges, can you suggest what best can I do? I don't think I will be able to apply for blue card until I return back from India.
Hi Felipe, The day you are applying for Blue card with 3 months salary slips, it generally takes 2-4 months from that day to get your Blue card delivered to your address. Hope this clarifies!
@@ExpatTravelFinds I suggest you to update the video title as "My Experience applying EU Blue Card in Germany 2023". Here it does not explain everything about the Blue card but only your case. It will be misleading for someone who wants to do in on there own and save 3+ month time on gathering the documents.
Hi bro, I am currently on job seeker visa, I have secured a blue card appointment, Do you know if they will accept the exact insurance? My public insurance will start after I join the job. Thank you
@@ExpatTravelFinds Thank you so much for your reply. I meant “EXPAT” insurance. Damm auto-correct. I did a bit more research. Looks like I need to reach out a insurance company and share my requirements for public insurance and share the tentative date for start date.
Hi Sunny, If i move to Germany by the end of this year but i will get blue card after 6-7 months right ? so if i get blue card after March 1 2024, then will i be eligible to bring my parents to Germany (according to new law) or should i wait until next year to move to Germany ? can you please reply , I am really confused Thanks in advance!
Hello! If you have a job offer, you should come to Germany now and not wait for next year. Regarding your parents, it’s still not clear to me how this new Family Reunion Visa will work. Once the rules are in place, we will make another detailed video on it.

Hello! Thanks for reaching out. Salary slips were required for my case, since my documents were submitted through my employer. It might not be the case for you. Regarding public health insurance, I have one from Barmer. But you can also explore other options like TK Health Insurance. Lastly, please watch our video if you haven’t done it already.
Hello,
During the blue card appointment, do they accept payment by cash or debit card? Or is only giro cards allowed?
Hello, thanks for reaching out. Please watch our video at around timestamp 05:00-06:00 to know the answer.
Hi, can you confirm that that the job description required is actually "Stellenbeschreibung" to be filled by the employer
Hello! Thank you for reaching out. I wasn’t asked for this document, but it varies from case to case. Please check with your employer.

As per india.diplo.de website, there is no mention of Police Clearance Certificate for Blue card visa.
Hello! for the blue card application do I need to present my original degree or a certificate would comply?

Hello! Thank you for reaching out. If you have a valid Indian passport and a valid Blue card(which is not expired), then you can re-enter Germany without any appointment.
@@ExpatTravelFinds thanks for the quick response. So even if the passport is not stamped, the valid blue card suffices.
Yes, that is sufficient. You don’t need a visa stamping appointment.

Hello, It all depends on the duration of national visa that you will get. Try to travel back to Germany within that period.
Hello, did it take 6-7 months or did you mean 6-7 weeks?
Hi Felipe, The day you are applying for Blue card with 3 months salary slips, it generally takes 2-4 months from that day to get your Blue card delivered to your address. Hope this clarifies!
@@ExpatTravelFinds But official website says they need the indefinite contract but nothing mentioned about any pay slips
As mentioned in the video, my process was via my employer and my employer wanted 3 months of payslips. So, it might not be the case for you.
@@ExpatTravelFinds I suggest you to update the video title as "My Experience applying EU Blue Card in Germany 2023". Here it does not explain everything about the Blue card but only your case.

What do you mean by “exact insurance “? If you have a public health insurance, then that should be sufficient.
