Why Germany
Germany has a shortage of skilled workers and has rewritten its immigration law to make hiring from outside the EU faster. Nursing, software, data and engineering are the fields where Indian professionals are recruited most. The one thing that separates applicants who get there from those who do not is the German language, which is why Walnutcraft builds it into the course.
01Clear legal routes
The Skilled Immigration Act gives you a skilled worker visa with a job offer, an EU Blue Card for graduates above a salary threshold, and a recognition visa for regulated professions such as nursing.
02Strong employee protection
Fixed working hours, 20 to 30 days of paid leave, public health insurance and a pension from your first contract.
03A path to permanent residence
Skilled workers can apply for permanent residence after a few years of contributions, sooner with good German.
