Opportunity Card questions

Practical decisions.

  • No — that’s the point of the Opportunity Card. You enter Germany without a job offer and have 12 months to find qualifying employment.

  • After converting to EU Blue Card, 21 months with B1 German or 33 months with A1. The Opportunity Card year does not count toward Niederlassungserlaubnis.

  • Family reunification is restricted on Opportunity Card. Once you convert to Blue Card or Skilled Worker, spouse and dependants can join immediately.

Most rejections are points-calculation errors.
