Advance Visa to apply job for EU region

Last 6 years, I was living in Dusseldorf, Germany. I received the Niederlassungerlaubnic karte as well. Due to covid, I stuck and couldn't able to fly back. 

How can I apply visa only ? Once I got the job, then only I would like to fly to Germany, else will stay in existing country.

Most of the companies always ask Visa readiness, please confirm if it is possible to get apply job visa, so that can get the job offers.

Hallo @shazia921  , Thank you for your question. You may be eligible to apply for a visa to return to Germany to look for a job. You have several options, please check which one is best for you. For example, you could apply for a Job Search Opportunity Card https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/job-search-o… and if you have a concrete job offer apply for EU Blue Card https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/eu-blue-card Work Visa for Qualified Professionals https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/work-qualifi… or Visa for Professionally Experienced Workers https://www.make-it-in-germany.com/en/visa-residence/types/visa-profess… Please check again if your Niederlasungserlaubnis has expired: https://www.berlin.de/einwanderung/aufenthalt/erloeschen-von-aufenthalt… If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Hi @Barbara Stasiak_Community Manager  , My Visa is already expired. If I apply online job, company first ask visa. Is this possible that I can apply visa and inform to them about it ? and once I get the job offer, I can apply by my own ? Or is there any way to apply visa from India and stay in India only until I have a job offer ? Kindly suggest. I dont want to leave my job in India until I have job and visa.

 

Please suggest. Thanks

What type of visa do you want to apply for? To apply for a work visa, you must first have a job offer.
