One-Year Work Visa
The key requirement for a one-year work visa in Germany is a valid employment contract from a German employer.
The process typically follows these steps:
Preparation of invitation documents – these are prepared and sent to the candidate once ready.
Visa appointment – the candidate schedules and attends a consulate appointment.
Travel and employment – after receiving the National Visa D, the applicant travels to Germany and starts working.
Employee card application – this final step ties your residence status to your employment.
This visa allows you to live and work in Germany as long as you remain employed with the same employer. It also provides the flexibility to extend your residence status without leaving Germany and permits travel within the EU for up to 90 days within any 180-day period.
Depending on your country of application, the consulate may issue different visa types, such as Employment Visa, Employment for Skilled Workers, Residence Permit for General Employment, and National Work Visa.
