Germany’s skilled worker route for Indian technicians

How the Skilled Immigration Act changes opportunities for CNC operators, electricians and mechatronics technicians, and how language training fits in.

Germany has opened new routes for vocational workers, not only graduates. If you hold a recognised qualification and a job offer, you may qualify for a skilled worker visa.

The basics

  • A job offer or contract from a German employer
  • A qualification that is recognised or comparable
  • German language at A1 to B1 depending on the role

Where language training fits

Our language programme runs evening batches so you can keep working while you learn. Most CNC and electrical roles ask for A1 before the visa interview and B1 within the first year.

What to expect from salary

Collective agreements set clear pay scales, so you can compare offers by grade rather than negotiation skill alone.
