The full guide

EU Blue Card needs a concrete job offer meeting the salary threshold, plus a degree Germany recognizes as equivalent — the single most common rejection reason is a foreign degree that isn't properly recognized, not the salary itself. Since November 2023, experienced IT specialists can qualify without any degree at all via a separate route.

Processing: Varies significantly by location — check your specific consulate's current times
