Build your secure life in Germany

Lay the foundation for long-term success with a language-first strategy.

Let us show you how.

  • Three international students concentrating on their language studies and writing in their notebooks.

    Language First

    The number one reason Opportunity Card and student visa holders fail—insufficient language skills. By studying intensively in-country before starting your job search, you build practical fluency, cultural understanding, and local networks that boost job prospects and long-term residency options—all at a fraction of the cost and time of academic programs. Arrive with the Language Learner Visa to fast-track integration and employability in Germany.

  • Network locally

    Employers hire people they can meet, shake hands with and interview in person—in German, and companies looking for paid trainees often only accept applications from candidates already in the country. Get paid while you train for your career in a future-proof industry!

  • Long-term residency

    A recent change to the law now allows holders of Language Learner Visas to legally switch to a work permit for employment, paid vocational training, or self-employment. Holders of these long-term residence permits can also take advantage of family reunification.

Success – on your terms

  • In this difficult job market, applicants without substantial German language skills are at an enormous disadvantage. Holders of Opportunity Cards and Job-Seeker visas frequently fail due to a lack of language skills.

    Start your job search out on the right foot with solid German and the right to work part-time from Day 1 on the Language Learner Visa.

  • Germany is desperate for skilled workers and is looking for someone like you! Get paid from Day 1 and secure your long-term residency with a solid, in-demand career in a skilled trade.

    Experience shows that companies will not engage with applications made from outside of the country, and solid German language skills are a must. We will support you in finding the opportunity that’s right for you!

  • In this volitile job market, even applicants with the best resumes often find it hard to get a foot in the door. Don’t make your dreams of success in Germany dependent on fickle employers.

    Self-employment offers the same opportunities for permanent residency as regular employment, but puts you in the driver’s seat. Whether you already have a business idea, or just need a fall-back in case you don’t find a job, we are here to support you.

    We partner with the Berlin Business Institute to help you launch your freelancing career or start-up with confidence.
