Project Overview
The EU Blue Card is not exclusive to Germany; all EU member states, except Denmark and Ireland, have their own EU Blue Card programs. It is a policy implemented by EU countries to attract high-skilled individuals from non-EU regions to work and settle in various EU nations, thereby promoting local development. The EU Blue Card is not a permanent residence permit but a long-term visa; however, it can be converted into permanent residency in the shortest possible time. In 2012, Germany introduced amendments to its Residence Act, including the introduction of the Blue Card system. The primary objective was to attract highly qualified individuals from non-EU countries to relocate to Germany. Germany issues the highest number of EU Blue Cards, accounting for 70% of the total EU issuance, earning it the nickname "Germany Blue Card." Over 3,000 Chinese applicants receive the EU Blue Card in Germany each year.
