GERMANY PATHWAY
Opportunity Card
The Opportunity Card is a route for qualified people who want to come to Germany to look for suitable work or a qualification measure. We help you understand the route, prepare evidence, and organise a clear application file.
01
Who this route may suit
- You have an academic or vocational qualification and want to explore a job search in Germany.
- You do not yet have a German job offer and want to understand the official options.
- You need help bringing your qualifications, language evidence, and supporting documents into one application file.
02
How SGC can help
SGC can help you review the official criteria, organise evidence for a points assessment where relevant, strengthen your preparation plan, and prepare your application file.
What we cannot promise
SGC cannot guarantee visa approval, a job offer, or a job-search result. German authorities and employers make those decisions independently.
03
Preparing your application
What documents should I prepare first?
Start with qualification records, language evidence where applicable, identity documents, and evidence requested by the relevant authority.
Can I prepare before I have every document?
Yes. A structured checklist can show what you have, what needs translation or verification, and which questions need official confirmation.
04
Questions people ask

Do I need a job offer before I start?
The Opportunity Card is designed for job search, but your individual route should be checked against current official guidance.
Where can I confirm the current rules?
