Planning a German dual vocational training application

Who it suits

Training contract or clear position

The employer, school, occupation, start date and contract terms must be clear.

Language and career fit

German must support communication during training, and the chosen occupation must make sense in your background and plans.

Clear funds and housing

Training pay, additional funds, insurance and housing must cover arrival and the training period.

Planning beyond training

After completing training, employment residence can be assessed based on the occupation, job arrangements and local requirements.

What a training visa requires

Training contract

The employer, occupation, dates, pay and probation period must be fully documented.

School and employer

Dual training usually involves an employer and vocational school. Their arrangements must be explained clearly.

Language requirements

Language evidence must match occupational communication, employer expectations and visa requirements.

Funds, housing and insurance

If training pay is insufficient, assess additional funding evidence and explain housing and insurance.

Career progression

Employment residence and future plans can be assessed after training, depending on the position, contract and authority requirements.

FAQ

Is a training contract enough to apply?
It is a core document, but language, funds, housing, insurance and employer/school details must also be complete.
What if my language level is insufficient?
Review employer expectations, occupational communication and visa requirements first. You may need more language preparation or a revised timeline.
Does low training pay affect the application?
Check whether pay covers living requirements. Any shortfall usually calls for assessment of additional funding and housing arrangements.
How does it differ from the Opportunity Card?
A training visa centres on an obtained or clearly defined training place. The Opportunity Card primarily allows entry for job search or exploring opportunities.
Can I stay and work after training?
Employment residence or other options can be assessed based on the training outcome, work contract and local requirements.
