India has emerged as the top source nation for overseas workers/non-EU workers in Germany. This has been revealed by DESTATIS – the Federal Statistical Office. The breakup of the non-EU citizens arriving in Germany for work is as follows:
1.
India – 12%
2.
China – 11%
3.
Bosnia – 8%
4.
Herzegovina– 8%
5.
The US – 7%
The number of non-EU citizens arriving in Germany for
work has increased by 20% for the third consecutive year. The statistics
reveal that the majority of these overseas workers are males from India
followed by China and the US.
Below is the
brief of major findings by DESTATIS – the Federal Statistical Office in
Germany:
• The number of non-EU nationals with Work
Visa in Germany increased to 266,000 in
2018 from 217,000 in 2017
• This is the third consecutive year that
their numbers have increased by 20%
• The age of the new arrivals was 35 years on an average and 2/3rds of them
were males
• More than 80% had Provisional Work Visa and 17% of them had Permanent Work Visa permitting them to remain indefinitely
• The DESTATIS revealed that Herzegovina,
Bosnia, Serbia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Montenegro, and Albania accounted for nearly
25% of the foreigners with Germany Work Visas in 2018. They made up just around
9% in 2015.
The Balkan
nations were declared safe in 2015. Since then, it has become tougher for their
nationals to obtain Residence Visas in Germany on Humanitarian grounds. This
has made immigration to work a more feasible option.
The Government
of Germany approved new policies by the
end of 2018 that is aimed at catering to the huge scarcity of workers in
the labour market. The changes imply that now it is easier for skilled workers including non-EU nationals to immigrate
to Germany. This is especially if they are working in a field that has
shortages of skills, as quoted by the DW.
