The opportunity card is aimed at third-country national jobseekers, who either have a higher education degree or professional qualification, to find qualified employment in Germany. 
 

Depending on the jobseeker’s circumstances, there are two ways to access the opportunity card.
These two options are as follows:
 

- skilled worker status
People with a foreign qualification that is fully recognised in Germany are considered skilled workers.
They have direct access to the opportunity card and do not have to go through the points system.
 

- access via the points system
Other applicants than skilled workers must score at least six points to qualify for the opportunity card.
 

You may find information about the opportunity card (especially a 'self-check') as well as general information about working and living in Germany on the website Make-it-in-Germany
 

To finalize the visa process, proof of health insurance is needed.
Therefore, you may either hand in confirmation of admission by a German private or statutory insurance -valid from the date of planned entry on- or
a so called incoming insurance, which in contrary to the regular travel health insurance shall not include any resolutory conditions.
