„After a bad experience with another consulting firm, it wasn't easy for us to trust again. With 3W Solutions, though, we felt safe from the very first day. The team was always reachable, solution-oriented, and by our side at every stage of the process. They supported us until we started our new life in Germany. We recommend 3W Solutions with complete confidence.“

„A fantastic team that supported me through my entire move and career in Germany! They didn't just place me successfully — they were also always by my side during the visa process and after I started work. Very warm, professional and solution-oriented. Absolutely recommended for anyone who wants to get a foothold in Germany!“

„People I met during my Germany process who genuinely made this tough journey a pleasure — I'm glad I met them. That they approached all my questions with warmth and sincerity, and did their work with real care, mattered enormously. As someone who lived through this process myself and started out with the wrong institution, I know: moving forward with professional, trustworthy people is perhaps the most important thing of all — because one wrong step affects the entire process and sends you back to square one. The right institution, the right goal — don't hesitate 👍🏼“

FAQ

What skilled professionals from non-EU countries often ask.

Have a question that isn’t answered here? Write to us — we’ll help you personally.

Do I need my professional qualification recognized to work in Germany?

That depends on your profession. Regulated professions such as physiotherapy or nursing require recognition. For non-regulated professions with a university degree, recognition is usually not required if your university and degree are rated accordingly in the ANABIN database.

How long does the recognition of my professional qualification take?

The duration depends, among other things, on your profession, the responsible authorities and how complete your documents are. Through the accelerated procedure, the process often takes about two to four months, based on our experience.

Can I already work in Germany before my recognition is fully completed?

Yes. In professions such as physiotherapy or nursing, you can already work in Germany under certain conditions while the recognition procedure is ongoing. However, your activities are limited until you have full recognition and a professional license.

What level of German do I need for recognition and for my work in Germany?

For placement and entry, you should reach at least a stable B1 level. Full recognition in healthcare professions usually requires a B2 language certificate. We check your language progress regularly and recommend reaching at least a solid B1+ to B2 level by the time you start work.

Why do interviews at 3W Solutions only take place from B1 level onward?

An interview only makes sense once you can introduce yourself independently, understand questions and express yourself well enough. Good communication is especially important in healthcare professions. That’s why we only introduce you to employers once you’ve reached a stable B1 level.

How does the visa procedure work and how long does it take?

As a rule, we coordinate the accelerated skilled-worker procedure under § 81a AufenthG together with your future employer. With an existing recognition decision, it usually takes about 1.5 to 2 months in NRW to reach preliminary approval. This is followed by the visa appointment and visa issuance, so you should generally plan for around 2.5 to 3 months for the visa phase overall.

When does the housing search start and how does registration in Germany work?

As soon as your employment contract is finalized, we usually start the housing search. Since housing is very scarce in many German cities, a furnished temporary apartment is often the best solution for the first period – even if it can be a bit more expensive. After your arrival, we also support you with the handover of your apartment and your registration.

Can my family come to Germany with me?

Yes, spouses and children can enter Germany together with you under certain conditions. If your family is part of the procedure from the start, we support this process too. For a later family reunification, we advise you on the next steps.

How much does 3W Solutions’ service cost me, and which costs do I have to cover myself?

Our placement, organization and support services are free of charge for you as a skilled professional. Costs you may have to cover yourself include, for example, language courses and language exams, translations, documents, official fees, or your travel to Germany.

How long does the whole path take until I enter Germany?

From the signing of the employment contract, the further process usually takes about three to eight months, based on our experience. How quickly it goes depends, among other things, on your profession, the recognition procedure, the responsible authorities and the visa process. We support you throughout the entire path and keep you informed about every next step.
