In an effort to compensate for the skilled labour shortage, Germany has passed a new immigration bill which creates and expands immigration pathways for skilled workers from non-EU countries. The first parts of the reform entered into force on November 18, 2023. The second parts will enter into force on March 1, 2024.
Join Fragomen professionals, Adela Schmidt, Sumejja Handzo and Ruben Fiedler on 5 March, for an informative update on the reforms and the impacts of these. We will provide an overview of key changes including:
- Extended access to German labor market for holders of student permits
- Extended option for highly skilled workers to bring their parents to Germany
- Newly created immigration option for skilled workers; and
- The reduction of the period of required residence in Germany to qualify for permanent residence
