German Ambassador to India calls on Indian specialists

While the USA under Donald Trump is making headlines with a drastic increase in H-1B visa fees , Germany is sending a very different signal: Highly qualified specialists from India are welcome in Germany. The German Ambassador to India , Dr. Philipp Ackermann , used the opportunity to point out the stability and reliability of German migration policy and invited Indian IT experts, engineers, scientists and managers to continue their careers in Germany. In a video on the platform X (formerly Twitter), Ackermann emphasized: " Germany stands for a stable migration policy and offers great job opportunities for Indians in IT, management, science and technology. " He also highlighted that Indian workers in Germany are among the highest earning groups . This is a sign that they are not only economically successful, but also make an important contribution to German society.

Reliable rules and high wages: Germany's locational advantage

Ackermann compared German immigration policy to a German car: " Reliable, modern, predictable – and without abrupt changes of direction ." This statement was a clear dig at US policy, which under Trump repeatedly experienced short-term and drastic changes in immigration law. This predictability is precisely a key advantage of the German system : Those who choose Germany can plan for the long term – from visa issuance to permanent settlement .

While US companies will have to pay around $100,000 for an H-1B visa in the future, Germany is making entry attractive for foreign skilled workers through transparent procedures and clear criteria. With the new Skilled Immigration Act and the EU Blue Card, Germany offers not only faster routes into the country but also long-term prospects for staying – a crucial difference for many Indian talents seeking stability and professional development.

Opportunities for Indian professionals: Germany as a new destination

For many Indian academics and IT specialists , who previously primarily looked to the USA, an attractive alternative is now opening up: Germany. With a strong economy, high demand for qualified workers and an international working environment, Germany offers excellent opportunities. There is a persistent shortage of skilled workers , particularly in the technology sector, in research and development and in engineering - an opportunity for anyone who wants to contribute their qualifications in a stable European environment. Through platforms such as VISAGUARD, interested parties can quickly find the right contact person: qualified specialist lawyers who will guide them through the entire process of immigration, recognition of qualifications and applying for a Blue Card. Competent legal support is particularly crucial for Indian applicants who want to make the move to Germany professional and legally sound.
