Need information about Work permit visa please
Hi,
I have a university masters degree from the United Kingdom, and the university and also the degree is recognised in the anabin database, with H+.
I do have 14 years of professional work experience related to my educational qualification.
I received a binding job offer from a German employer , the employer has provided me the declaration of employment contract (Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis) and the job role exactly matches my qualification. My job is a non-regulated profession in Germany.
The yearly salary the employer is offering is 30000 euro per year.
As far as I checked, I can not apply for the EU Blue card with this salary threshold.
My question is, under which visa category I can apply. Shall I apply for skilled professional with academic degree?
Also with this visa category, can I take my wife as dependent, with me?
Do I have to show any fund in my blocked account, because I already have job offer.
Do I have to get approval from federal employment agency for that?
What other documents are necessary to apply for this visa?
Please let me know, it would be really helpful.
Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for the information you provided. I highly appreciate it.
I will check the information in those links you provided, for sure.
Could you kindly provide guidance on the following questions please, it would be very kind of you.
Do I have to get approval from the federal employment agency for applying for the visa, or I can apply without the approval?
Do I have to show any funds in the blocked account in Germany, is it necessary? Because I already have job offer.
Thank you so much Barbara.
Hallo @Kamonasish , I hope you found the links useful. You do not need to contact the Federal Employment Agency in person. The embassy will contact them directly. You will need to provide proof of funding or a declaration of commitment: https://handbookgermany.de/en/national-visa#faq_1867 Please, let us know if you have any further questions. Best Barbara
