The government has declared jobs in Germany to Pakistanis, which creates new opportunities to skilled professionals, particularly in the healthcare sector. According to the Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment (BEOE), the announcement was made because Germany is still experiencing a severe shortage of nurses and trained workers.
According to BEOE, Pakistani citizens who hold recognized diplomas or degrees can apply for these jobs in Germany for Pakistanis, but only after completing a mandatory qualification recognition process required by German authorities.
BEOE has clearly stated that applicants must first get their educational and professional qualifications officially recognized in Germany. Without this approval, work visas will not be issued.
The recognition process usually includes:
- Verification of academic degrees and diplomas
- Assessment of professional experience
- Proof of German language skills
This step is compulsory for all applicants interested in jobs in Germany for Pakistanis.
German Language Requirement
For most positions, especially nursing jobs, German language proficiency at B2 level or higher is required. If an applicant does not fully meet the standards, German authorities may ask them to:
- Complete additional training
- Pass equivalency or skill-based exams
These requirements are part of Germany’s professional standards system.
BEOE has strongly clarified that it:
- Does not charge any fee
- Is not a recruiting or licensing agent for Germany
It is advised that the applicants should avoid uncertified agents and fraudulent consultants purporting to secure employment opportunities in Germany on behalf of the Pakistanis.
Prospective candidates should use only the governmental sites where information is correct. The full information regarding the professionalities in which one is eligible as well as the process of recognition of the qualifications can be found on the official site of the German government.
The increasing demand of skilled workers in Germany is a golden opportunity that Pakistanis can utilize in establishing international careers, better wages, and internationally acquired experience, as long as they do it through the legal and official procedure.
