Germany Immigration Points Calculator 

Germany is one of the top immigration destinations, second only to the USA. It has a large economy and is a hotspot for overseas companies and IT professionals. Germany's real points-based route is the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), introduced on 1 June 2024 under Section 20a of the German Residence Act. It lets qualified professionals enter Germany to search for a skilled job, even without a job offer in hand, as long as they score at least 6 points across a defined set of criteria.

Eligibility Requirements for the Germany points calculator 

There are two ways to qualify, and you only need to meet one:

• Direct route (no points needed): If your foreign university degree or vocational qualification is fully recognised in Germany, you qualify automatically as a skilled worker, provided you can support yourself financially.
• Points route: If your qualification isn't fully recognised, you can still qualify by scoring at least 6 points (see below), as long as you also meet these baseline requirements:
  • A recognised degree, or a vocational qualification of at least 2 years, state-recognised in your home country
  • Basic language ability: German at A1 level, or English at B2 level
  • Proof of financial means: at least €1,091 a month, or €13,092 for a 12-month period
  • Valid health insurance covering your stay
