Frequently Asked Questions About German Work Visas
What types of German work visas are most relevant for employers?
rekocate supports the most common employer-relevant visas, which are:
EU Blue Card – for highly qualified professionals with a recognized degree and a minimum salary threshold
Skilled Worker Visa (Fachkräfte) – for employees with vocational or academic qualifications
ICT Card – for intra-company transfers
Researcher Visa – for R&D and academic roles
For most corporate hires, the EU Blue Card and Skilled Worker Visa are the primary options.
What are the employer’s responsibilities when relocating an employee to Germany?
Employers must provide a compliant employment contract, confirm salary thresholds, and support documentation for the visa application. In some cases, employer declarations or approvals from German authorities are required. relokate takes these steps over so HR teams stay compliant without administrative overload.
When does an employer need to sponsor a work visa?
German employers do not financially sponsor work visas; however, they must:
Provide a binding job offer or employment contract
Ensure the position meets applicable salary and qualification requirements
Cooperate with immigration authorities and, where required, the Federal Employment Agency (BA)
While the employee is the formal visa applicant, the process is highly employer-dependent. relokate manages the entire procedure on your behalf, so you do not need to prepare or submit the required documentation for your employee’s visa application.
How much does it cost to relocate an employee to Germany, including visa fees?
Visa fees are usually €75–€100, but total relocation costs may include relocation support, housing support, and family visas. relokate helps companies estimate total costs upfront and manage relocation budgets transparently.
How long does the work visa process take for a foreign worker in Germany?
Typical timelines:
Visa appointment abroad: 2–12 weeks (varies by country of application)
Approval by the authorities: 2–6 weeks
Fast-track procedures are available in certain cases through employer-initiated processes. relokate supports and manages the visa process and fast-track applications, helping you reduce delays and ensure a smooth, compliant process.
How does the EU Blue Card work when relocating an employee to Germany from abroad?
The EU Blue Card is one of the most popular options for employing and relocating highly skilled employees to Germany from abroad. It is designed for qualified professionals with a recognized degree and a minimum salary threshold set by German law. The Blue Card offers faster processing, long-term residence prospects, and easier family reunification. relokate supports employers in assessing Blue Card eligibility, managing documentation, and ensuring a smooth application process for both the company and the employee.
