The type of visa you receive depends on your qualifications and your job offer in Germany. Below is a list that gives you a first overview of the different options you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>EU Blue Card:&nbsp;<\/strong>If you have an academic degree in IT as well as a specific job offer in Germany, you may&nbsp;receive&nbsp;an&nbsp;EU Blue Card. It is important to know that you must earn a minimum salary in your job for that visa type. Nonetheless, the&nbsp;EU Blue Card&nbsp;is an exceptionally&nbsp;popular&nbsp;residence title&nbsp;with many advantages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Work visa for qualified professionals:&nbsp;<\/strong>A&nbsp;residence permit for qualified employment&nbsp;(according to Section 18a and 18b (1) on the Residence Act &#8211;&nbsp;AufenthG) might&nbsp;be the right option for you, if you&nbsp; &nbsp;acquired your IT skills during an apprenticeship, for example. The same conditions apply, if you have a university degree in IT, yet the job position you have found does not meet the requirements for the EU Blue Card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Working as an IT specialist\/residence title for other types of work:<\/strong>&nbsp;Even if you have neither any formal qualifications nor a university degree, you can still obtain a visa and work as an&nbsp;IT specialist&nbsp;in Germany.
