Skilled Immigration
Avoid skilled labour shortages
The skilled workers shortage in Germany is well known. In many sectors, we depend on skilled workers from abroad so that companies in Germany can continue their work successfully. As the baby boomer generation retires, jobs are becoming vacant in many companies. Many companies need to ensure that these vacancies are filled with skilled workers in order to grow their business. In many sectors there is a lack of these skilled workers in sufficient numbers. Without skilled workers from abroad, there is often no growth.
The new Skilled Immigration Act of 2021 allows employers to hire workers from abroad with different qualifications. These can be university graduates from abroad. These can be skilled workers from abroad who have completed vocational training. These can be school graduates from abroad who are completing vocational training in your company.
The immigration process from interview to work visa is long. Applying for the right work visa is complicated. There are many things to consider when selecting foreign candidates.
We look back on 10+ years of specialist expertise in the field of business immigration law - skilled labor migration law.

Services
Work Visas
Your foreign employees need a work visa to enter Germany to take up employment. We would be happy to advise you and also apply for a work visa for you.
Work Permits
Your foreign employees may only work for you with a valid residence permit. We check that the residence permits are correct. We take on the application, change or extension of residence permits for your employees.
Labour leasing
If you employ employees who you lend to your customers for a limited period of time (also known as "agency work" or "temporary work"), you must meet several requirements and conditions. If you hire out foreign workers, you have to observe and follow a lot of additional rules. We would be happy to advise you on this topic.
Immediate foreign employment
If you need your specialists working abroad in Germany within a few days to solve an operational problem, we will help you to find ways to implement the project. The restrictive laws allow opportunities to override the otherwise usual rules in some places. As a result, the foreigner can come to you in Germany quickly and relatively unbureaucratically in order to do the work on site.
ICT Regulations
If you are planning to employ a foreign employee within the group, then the ICT regulation can be the right approach. We advise whether this or another regulation is the better solution for you and your employees. We help you to find the best result from all points of view, such as the planned time of deployment, duration of deployment, location (s), qualifications of the employee, tasks at the deployment site, language skills and many other criteria.
Business Trips
The business travel visa is applied for quickly and if the employee working abroad has taken part in the scheduled meeting in Germany, he will help with other matters for the remaining days in Germany, he will sit down at a vacant workstation in the company building and can go about his work. Many companies treat their foreign employees on business trips in Germany in this way. Often there is no awareness of wrongdoing, and yet employers and foreigners often break the law. We explain to you which activities are permitted on a business trip and which are to be avoided. Accordingly, we help with the application for the business travel visa in order to avoid that, due to a lack of awareness of the problem, either the business travel visa is already rejected or the business traveler has incomplete documents with him when entering the country and making false statements to the border police.
Candidate selection
We help you select foreign employees for your company so that there are no unpleasant surprises. Little things that are hardly noticeable often make the difference, which is why one candidate receives a work visa without problems and the other candidate does not. You are lucky if the candidate is allowed to enter the country under difficult conditions, but the delay has cost valuable time and money.
Immigration Compliance Audit
As an employer, you are obliged to check and ensure that your employees are not staying illegally in Germany and that their employment is legal. Even if construction sites are often thought of in the case of illegal undeclared work, it is not uncommon for employees who once entered legally and who were legally employed to enter the country due to the lack of an internal audit, have become illegal through time or changed facts without the employer noticing. However, the employer remains liable. We help with the review and work with you to develop a system to ensure a complete review.
Draw up employment contracts
We review or draw up employment contracts for your foreign employees and point out the specifics.
