Opportunity Card check FAQ

Do 6 points guarantee approval?
No. Six points are one key condition of the points route. Evidence, funds, qualifications, language and authority assessment still determine the outcome.
Does the qualified professional route need points?
German degrees or vocational training, fully recognised foreign qualifications and the Bachelor's-or-higher route are generally assessed without points. Funds, insurance, qualification evidence and application documents still need review.
How do English B2 and C1 differ?
English B2 can meet the points route's basic language threshold. Only C1 or native-level English can earn language points.
What if qualification evidence is unclear?
Check document completeness first. Chinese degrees need both graduation and degree certificates. Full-time Bachelor's/Master's graduates with both certificates outside Chengdu's consular district may not need ZAB first. Full-time top-up Bachelor's and other degrees needing explanation should be assessed for ZAB. Chinese self-study, adult, online or other part-time degrees are first checked through the points route.
Why does vocational training need DAB review?
Training below degree level usually requires evidence of duration, full-time study and state recognition in the training country. A DAB statement helps explain eligibility but does not replace A1 German or points evidence.
