I have recently obtained my EU Blue Card.
To all looking for EU Blue Card, please note that there are two documents that were not mentioned. The insurance and declaration documents are both required. Only one person can fill it, and it ain't you the EU Blue Card applicant.
In the absence of these two documents, it is NOT possible to obtain an EU Blau Karte, even if ALL or ALMOST ALL the checkpoints mentioned in the video are met. These two documents are of particular importance, especially in terms of the employer's classification of the work as either STEM or non-STEM. Cause Agentur fur Arbeit will verify the authenticity of the entire qualification. Please liaise with the immigration office first (not the internet) to ascertain the precise requirements.
✔️ Alternative permits – Other visa options for skilled professionals
