Service Details

If you want to start your career in Germany from the right beginning, the apprenticeship visa (Ausbildung) is your golden opportunity. This visa allows you to study and work simultaneously in a qualified professional field, building your future with recognized experience in Germany.

Key visa benefits: • You can study and work in a formal professional field under the auspices of recognized German institutions. • The apprenticeship is paid – you receive a monthly stipend to cover your expenses. After completing the apprenticeship, you can work in Germany directly or apply for a long-term residence permit. • The visa is valid for 3 to 4 years, depending on the duration of the apprenticeship program. This qualifies you for many highly sought-after fields in the German job market (such as nursing, electrical work, mechanics, restaurants, and IT).

Application requirements: High school diploma or equivalent; German language level B1 or higher (some institutions may accept A2); vocational training contract (Ausbildungsvertrag) from a recognized German institution; health insurance covering the entire duration of your stay; proof of sufficient financial means to cover your expenses if the salary is not enough.

Salary and financial support:

During the training period, you will receive a monthly salary that typically ranges between €800 and €1200, depending on the specialization and state.

In some cases, you may receive subsidized accommodation or additional support from the host institution.
