Germany Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte) Points Calculator
Ten short questions, about two minutes. See whether you qualify for Germany's job-seeker Opportunity Card and how many of the 6 required points you have — and we'll email you the result.
What is your highest qualification?
It must be recognised by the state in the country where you obtained it.
How is this checked?
For degrees, the university and degree should show a positive rating ("H+" and matching degree) in Germany's anabin database, or you can get a Statement of Comparability from the ZAB. Vocational qualifications need at least two years of full-time training.
This calculator is an indicative self-assessment based on the Opportunity Card rules published by the German Federal Government (Make it in Germany) and the Federal Foreign Office, and §§ 20a and 20b of the Residence Act. It is not legal advice, it is not affiliated with the German government, and the final decision rests with the German mission or immigration authority. Rules and amounts can change.
