The Opportunity Card is a residence permit allowing foreign nationals to enter Germany to search for employment. You can apply for the Germany opportunity card in the Consular Services Portal online or at the German embassy in your home country. While applying online, you can use a point’s calculator to determine how many points you will receive for your qualifications, knowledge, and living conditions unless you directly qualify as a recognized skilled worker.
A points system helps to determine whether you are eligible for the Opportunity Card based on your qualifications, knowledge, and living conditions. A minimum score of 6 points is required for this. Also, if you have a recognized professional qualification in Germany, you can apply for the Opportunity Card as a recognized skilled worker without having to achieve a minimum number of points.
