The Job-Search (Opportunity Card) option is for third-country nationals that want to enter Germany to search for a job. There are various options, for instance for those with already recognised academic qualifications (which can look for 18 months) or for those that do not yet have fully recognised qualifications or have completed vocational training (maximum length 12 months). The requirements for these tracks varies and those with not yet recognised qualifications need to score points on certain criteria and proof language skills.
