What type of worker, employment situation, occupation or professional activity is this pathway actually designed for?

  • The official source does not state the complete answer to this question for this route.
  • Section 15d (1)
    For the purpose of performing any kind of employment in Germany that regularly amounts to at least 30 hours per week, the Federal Employment Agency may do the following with regard to foreigners:
  • Section 15d (1)
    Approval or a work permit is conditional on the Federal Employment Agency having set a number of admission based on demand (quota) and the quota not yet having been exhausted. The setting of the quota can especially cover certain economic sectors or professional groups or rule them out.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The applicant needs an employer who is bound by a collective agreement governing the remuneration for the envisaged activity, employs the foreigner in accordance with the applicable collectively agreed working conditions, pays for the necessary travelling costs, and employs foreigners under this provision for a maximum of ten months within a period of twelve months at the establishment of deployment. The official source does not state whether a formal job offer or employment contract is required.

  • Section 15d (2)

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

The pathway is distinctive for its quota-based admission: the Federal Employment Agency must have set a number of admissions based on demand (quota) and the quota must not yet be exhausted. The quota can especially cover certain economic sectors or professional groups or rule them out. It covers any kind of employment that regularly amounts to at least 30 hours per week, with an employer bound by a collective agreement governing the remuneration for the activity. The official source does not state a qualification, experience or skill-level requirement.

  • Section 15d (1)
    For the purpose of performing any kind of employment in Germany that regularly amounts to at least 30 hours per week, the Federal Employment Agency may do the following with regard to foreigners:

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the work allowed, any tie to employer or sector and family accompaniment.

See recorded sources
Limits of the record
  • Not established: the correction failed a second independent check (CAIXA_ERRADA: Quota changes and denial for sectors with adverse labour-market effect are labour-market conditions on approval (R3), not the holder's work rights; R4 material (change of employer, s.15d(5)) is elsewhere.)

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The Federal Employment Agency may issue a work permit for up to 90 days per 180 days to nationals of countries in Annex II to Regulation (EU) 2018/1806, or grant approval to a residence title if the stay exceeds 90 days per 180 days or the person is an Annex I national. The employment must not exceed eight months in twelve months. If the employment is extended, an additional work permit may be issued, also with a different employer, provided the maximum duration is not exceeded. The official source does not state a longer-term residence direction.

Limits of the record
  • No longer-term residence direction is stated in the source.
