Why apply for European Blue Card?

The European Blue Card proved potent in offering good work conditions to qualified workers who didn’t have chance to reach full potential and to fully practice their professions in their home countries because of some reasons.

 

In October 2007, the European Commission adopted two proposals for the purpose of the admission of skilled and educated migrants to the EU  (EU Blue Card directive) and directive to simplify migration procedures by funneling applicants into a single application procedure (single permit directive).

What are the benefits?

• European Blue Card isn’t for all. It’s unique in some way. Excluded from the EU Blue Card are OMR and OCT nationals, EU nationals, EEA and EFTA nationals as well as UK, Ireland, Denmark, Japan, Israel, South Korea, New Zealand, Australia, Canada and USA.
• Working and salary conditions equal to nationals, but it depends mostly on the company you have been admitted in.
• You don’t need to seek employment and worry about financial side, because you must find it before arrival .
• Free movement within the Schengen area (26 Schengen countries).
• Entitlement to a series of socio-economic rights (e.g. unemployment benefit)
• You can give a chance for your family to live, study or travel. If applying simultaneously then you can include them in your online application or they can fill their own online application later.
• Perspective to apply for permanent residence. You must work for 33 months in the hosting state or 21 months while also earning the B1 language certificate which enables you to qualify for the permanent residency permit earlier. Furthermore, if you work in different EU member states and gather 5 years of work experience altogether then you are a strong candidate for the permanent residency permit.
• Age is not an important factor nor strongly considered, but it is good to be around the age of 30-40.
