Congratulations! With a university degree and a binding job offer for qualified employment, you have a good chance of working and living in Germany.
- Citizens of Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland or the USA do not need an entry visa to come to Germany.

For both residence titles it is mandatory to provide proof of the complete recognition of your foreign qualification on behalf of the responsible German body. Learn more about this in the Recognition section.
