Skilled workers immigration law: A mammoth word, but should know, especially people from abroad, if you want to work in Germany. What is in the new law is important, it shows the Overview.
Germany is a country of immigration and, above all, needs workers from abroad to cover the demand in the country. The is parties like the SPD, FDP or the Greens, already no longer clear. Since the age of twelve, the ruling Union of the CDU and the CSU has refused, but no longer against a law. This is over now: Before Christmas, on 19. December, is to vote the Cabinet over the so-called skilled workers immigration law.
The legal framework
Who is allowed to come to Germany to work or training, to govern the skilled workers immigration law. In General, the focus is on the people who already have a University degree or qualified vocational training. If this is true, and the Person in question has a job in Germany, she is allowed to work in Germany – no matter what the profession. This means: only people who can be looking for work in Jobs, where in Germany, many skilled workers are allowed to come. The are currently 61 professions and sub-groups, 14 more than the end of 2017. Also on the examination of whether a non-indigenous job would take precedence, will be omitted in principle. But it should be possible to use this test for protection of indigenous workers quickly re-establish.
The “Blue card” can work, studied foreign experts since 2012, easier in Germany
Another new rule provides that experts have a qualified vocational training, can find also in Germany a Job – and not already before your entry must have. They have six months time. This means that Even those that can still have a job, but proper training from abroad, may find in Germany a Job. But the requirement is: the qualifications and relevant language skills in German and English. In addition, the applicant must demonstrate that they can earn their living themselves and not to state support in Germany.
Quality of work ensure
Prerequisite for this is that foreign specialists can work in Germany, is that their qualifications are recognized. It has in the past often problems. To be different, which is why the System should be developed for the recognition of qualifications. In addition, interested parties from abroad, to better advise.
But according to sueddeutsche.de the draft of the law contains a sticking point and make a decisive easing. There is a limited possibility should be created “” to be “under certain conditions” of his acquired abroad vocational training only after the entry to recognize. That is: a Qualified alien may enter, for example, a part-time job to pursue, and in parallel, their training recognised.
Lane change?
Under the heading of the lane change had been a fight in the coalition for a long time, to open rejected asylum seekers a lane change from the asylum in the immigration process – if you are considered to be well integrated, as well as a job and good language skills. The term did not appear any more but in the key issues paper from the beginning of October.
Instead, the bill provides for a new two-year “employment toleration”. That is to say: If the concerned people have a Job, you may be two years, not deported. This tolerance applies according to the draft of rejected asylum seekers, the levy work for at least 18 months of social subject to a minimum of 35 hours per week are employed for at least twelve months tolerated.
Presented in October, the vertices of the immigration act: Minister of labour, Hubertus Heil, economy Minister Peter Altmaier and Minister of the interior, Horst Seehofer
Thus, the Federal government wants to exclude, according to the explanatory Memorandum, “the employment of toleration is directly granted to a negative asylum decision”. The immigration authorities should have this time, “ending the residence measures”.
Training tolerance
The scheme, that rejected asylum seekers should not be deported in their three years of training and after the completion of the doctrine, two years in Germany allowed to work, will be extended to so-called helper professions – the Jobs where a worker has no training. Prerequisite: you must then complete a qualified vocational training in a profession in which there are not enough workers. This so-called Three-plus-Two scheme should not also be applied uniformly in all German länder, which was previously the case.
Learn German
Thus, the language can already be abroad, better learned, are to be developed, for example, the courses of the Goethe-Institut, so it was at least still in the key issues paper on the law at the beginning of October. But also the economy, represented by the German chamber of foreign trade or of individual companies, must do more: Thus abroad, is to be representations developed in order to promote German as a foreign language. Similar models of cooperation should also have with schools abroad. Another suggestion: training programs abroad, which include language training.
