Despite Germany's increasing need for qualified specialists across various industries, many skilled workers interested in moving to the country find the immigration process daunting and difficult as they navigate a range of administrative burdens.
In this piece published by The European, Partner Marius Tollenaere explores how a poorly digitised and understaffed government system affects the ability of skilled workers to successfully migrate to Germany. To mitigate these issues, he suggests an increased focus on the digitalisation of the processes and the combining systems and data points to speed up wait times.
