The Opportunity Card allows qualified third-country nationals to obtain a points-based residence permit for job seeking with specific employment opportunities; applications must be submitted exclusively online via the Consular Services Portal.
For Kenya:
- Apply online via the portal; after a preliminary review, schedule an appointment for a personal interview at the embassy.
- Requirements include recognized qualifications, language skills, professional experience, and sufficient funds—details are described on the portal and on “Make it in Germany.”
- The list of required documents is geared toward job seekers/skilled workers (proof of qualifications, resume, proof of financial means, health insurance, and, if applicable, BA approval).
