Inquiry About Chancenkarte Eligibility as a Public State Employee

Hello, i would like to ask whether my current employment status as a an employee of the public state affect my eligibility or ability to apply for the Chancenkarte visa.

If being employed in such position is an obstacle, would it be helpful if I officially take a 12-month unpaid leave (vacancy)? And in such a case, would providing official proof of this vacancy be sufficient for the visa application, or would I also need to update my passport, which currently states that I am an employee.

Hello @Power , thank you for getting in touch. Just to confirm, are you asking if you can apply for the Chancenkarte while being employed in your country? Best Barbara

Yes, I am currently employed as a public sector employee in my country, but I am actively seeking other opportunities and I meet all the other criterias required for the Chancenkarte, including holding a university degree recognized with H+ status in Anabin.

I would like to understand if my current employment status poses an obstacle to applying for the Chancenkarte. If it does, I have the possibility to officially take a 12-month unpaid leave (vacancy). In that case, would providing official documentation of this leave be sufficient for the application, or would I also need to update my passport, which currently states that I am employed?

Thank you for your guidance.
