EU Blue Card

Your international specialists and executives need support in applying for an EU Blue Card?

GLOBUS immigration & relocation offers immigration support from a single source, quickly and reliably. We support your international employees on their way into the German labor market.

GLOBUS immigration & relocation ensures that the application process for an EU Blue Card for your specialists and executives with the relevant authorities goes smoothly.

The EU Blue Card is a special residence title for university graduates, which is intended to facilitate and promote the permanent immigration of highly qualified persons from non-EU countries to Germany. This residence title is generally issued for a period of four years. If the duration of the employment contract is less than four years, the EU Blue Card is issued for the duration of the employment contract plus three months. If the requirements are met, an extension is possible.

GLOBUS immigration & relocation informs you about the requirements, necessary documents and the corresponding procedure. Furthermore, we guarantee you and your employees a fixed contact person as well as an accelerated and timely processing.

What are the advantages of an EU Blue Card?

German language skills are not required for the issuance of an EU Blue Card. Exceptions to this are persons who wish to exercise a regulated profession, such as doctors and pharmacists, who must in principle prove German language skills in order to obtain a license to practice their profession.

The settlement permit can be issued after 33 months in the case of basic German language skills (language level A1); this period is reduced to 21 months in the case of proof of sufficient German language skills (language level B1).

As a holder of an EU Blue Card, you are entitled to a permanent residence permit after five years. Not only the periods in Germany are taken into account, but also periods during which you lived in another EU member state.

All stays with the EU Blue Card that were 18 months or longer are taken into account. In addition, you must have resided with an EU Blue Card for two years in the member state in which you are applying for a permanent residence permit.

Spouses of an EU Blue Card holder are entitled to a residence permit without the immigrating spouse having to prove knowledge of German if both spouses are at least 18 years old.

Application for the EU Blue Card

As the application for an EU Blue Card is always associated with various formalities, requirements and laws, GLOBUS immigration & relocation ensures that this application process is professionally managed from start to finish.

If your international professionals live outside the EU, they usually need a visa for the purpose of employment, which is issued by the responsible German mission abroad. Here we support your employees in applying for a national visa, so that they can enter Germany without any problems. Subsequently, we take care of the application for the EU Blue Card at the responsible foreigners authority.

As a national of Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America, your specialist can enter Germany without a visa. Should this be the case, GLOBUS immigration & relocation will apply for the EU Blue Card at the responsible immigration office within three months. Thus, after the issuance of the Blue Card EU, the employment of your specialist can be taken up.

Skilled workers who have held an EU Blue Card in another EU member state for at least 18 months may enter Germany without a visa. GLOBUS immigration & relocation takes care that the Blue Card EU is applied for at the foreigners authority in due time after the entry of your skilled workers. Thus, after the issuance of the Blue Card EU, employment can then take place.
