Designed for skilled professionals who want to search for work while already in Germany.
The Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) grants a limited-duration visa to search for skilled work inside Germany, based on a points system rather than a pre-arranged job offer.
Best suited to skilled professionals confident in their ability to find work once in-country, rather than those who need a guaranteed offer before relocating.
You can take up part-time or trial work while searching for a role matching your qualifications; full employment requires transitioning to a work permit.
