Germany is also one of the countries that is seeking highly qualified employees to work in well-paid positions, and encourages all young and skilled people to come visit and look for places to work. So the first things you need to do is apply for a Germany job seeker visa.

The job seeker visa for Germany is a Long-Term Residency Permit, which allows you to stay in the country for six months and look for a job. If at the end of the six months you have found a place of employment, you will be given the Germany work visa or a Germany work permit.

and you will be allowed to work and live there. Please note that having a job seeker visa does not allow you to start working immediately in Germany. It only means that you can visit the country and look for a job during your stay.

In order to obtain a job seeker visa for Germany, There are several criteria that you need to fulfill to be eligible to apply for the Germany job seeker visa:

1. Hold a Bachelor or Master’s Degree from a German university or an equivalent foreign degree.......

2. Have a minimum of 5 years of experience in your related field of study
3. Show proof that you have sufficient funds to cover your stay during the time you are in Germany.

4. Have travel or medical insurance for your entire stay in Germany or until you get your Work Permit.

Checklist of documents you need to obtain a Germany job seeker visa:

1. A valid passport (issued in the past 10 years and valid for at least 12 months after your scheduled return)
2. A copy of your passport’s data page
3. 3 passport pictures based on biometric specifications.

4. Cover letter where you explain the objective of your visit, how you plan to find employment, and your alternative career plans if you cannot find a job.

2. Diploma of your degree or any other proof of qualifications & as well as any certificates of previous work experience.

6. Your detailed Curriculum Vitae (CV)
7. Proof of accommodation in Germany (where you will be staying during your visit) I recommend Airbnb.com

8. Proof of financial means to cover the costs for the time of your stay in Germany by showing one of the following documents:
A. Verpflichtungserklärung (formal obligation letter) by a sponsor living in Germany.
B. Bank account statement(Personal)

C. Blocked bank account.

9. Proof of personal status in your home country, such as birth certificate, marriage certificate, and others (translated in English)

10. Proof of your health insurance.

In order to fulfill the requirements, you have to prepare two sets of these documents.

The next step is to prepare your set of documents which will be attached to your application. The documents ensure that your application is not immediately rejected on grounds of not fulfilling the requirements, so make sure you have all of them.

After you have gathered the necessary documents I mentioned, the final step is to fill out an application form from your German Embassy website in Nigeria, Ghana and across Africa for the job seeker visa.

Remember to book your visa appointment online via the embassy website early enough. In conclusion, if you are determined to find employment in Germany, make sure to follow these steps, and u should be on ur way to making contact and networking with potential employers in Germany

In just in case you're wondering, you are not supposed to find a job before going, so a link of potential job offer are not necessary.

All the best and good luck.
