Germany’s official skilled-migration portal ‘Make it in Germany’ is running a live English-language webinar on 4 February 2026 aimed at Indian professionals who want to relocate. Scheduled for 11:30–13:00 (IST), the session brings together visa officers from the German Consulate in Mumbai and labour-market experts to walk participants step-by-step through job-search strategies, documentation and appointment timelines.
Organisers say demand surged after January’s salary-threshold increases for the EU Blue Card and Skilled-Worker routes. The webinar will clarify the new minimums (€50,700 for standard roles and €45,934.20 for shortage occupations) and explain how the forthcoming “opportunity card” points system will operate once the final phase of the Skilled Immigration Act takes effect in June.
Attendees will receive downloadable checklists covering digital-application uploads, recognition of foreign degrees, and mandatory “Fair Integration” rights notices that employers must issue on day one. A Q&A segment is set aside for common pain points such as biometric-slot scarcity and proof-of-funds hurdles.
Professionals who cannot attend—or who simply want personalised guidance—can tap third-party facilitation services like VisaHQ. The company’s Germany page (https://www.visahq.com/germany/) lets users pre-check eligibility, generate tailored document lists and arrange secure courier pickups for passports, effectively streamlining many of the administrative steps highlighted during the webinar.
For German employers recruiting from South Asia, today’s event is a chance to direct candidates to an authoritative source and reduce pre-arrival errors that cause case rejections. Mobility managers should also note that the portal plans a follow-up session on long-term family-reunification visas in March, aligning with new online booking tools being piloted across India’s VFS centres.
