EU Blue Card

Deconsulting > EU Blue Card

Background

EU Blue card is a residence card issued to a highly qualified foreign professional to attract the highly qualified third-country nationals to jobs in occupations where there is a shortage of qualified personnel. It is implemented in 2009 by the European Union based on Council Directive 2009/50/EC. On 1st August 2012, the EU Blue Card system started in Germany. People with a recognized university degree or a degree comparable to a German degree have easier access to the German labor market.
