Opportunity card extension

German: Folge-Chancenkarte

The opportunity card extension is an option for prolonging the validity of the initial search opportunity card. If a person with a search opportunity card has received a concrete job offer for skilled employment but a regular residence permit for gainful employment cannot yet be issued, an opportunity card extension is issued. It is valid for up to two years and provides access to qualified employment.
