Opportunity map coming on June 1, 2024

On June 1, 2024, the opportunity card arrives: Germany gets a new residence permit.

In summer 2023, the German Bundestag passed the law on the further development of skilled labor immigration in order to make Germany more attractive for highly qualified workers from abroad. Among other things, it included changes to the EU Blue Card and simplifications for IT specialists and people with professional experience. The law also introduced a new residence permit into the Residence Act (AufenthG): The Opportunity Card. After a long wait, this will now come into force on June 1, 2024, regulated in the specially created Section 20a of the Residence Act.
