View All Questions

Q Can Indian nurses work in Germany without IELTS or OET?

Yes! Germany does not require IELTS, TOEFL, or OET for nursing jobs because the working language is German. Instead, you must prove your German language proficiency by passing the B1 or B2 Goethe, Telc, or ÖSD exams.

Q Do I need a blocked account for a Nursing Ausbildung in Germany?

No, you do not need a blocked account (Sperrkonto) for a Nursing Ausbildung (Apprenticeship). Because it is a paid vocational training program, you receive a monthly stipend (around €1,100 to €1,300), which exceeds the minimum financial requirement set by the German embassy.

Q Can I bring my spouse on a German nursing visa immediately, or do I have to wait?

Under the new German Skilled Immigration Act, if you receive an expedited work visa as a fully recognized registered nurse, you can bring your spouse and children immediately under family reunification rules, provided you meet the financial and housing requirements.

Q Can I change my hospital or employer after reaching Germany on a nursing visa?

Yes, you can legally change your employer in Germany. However, if you change jobs within the first 12-24 months, your work visa is tied to your specific employer, so you must get approval from the Foreigners Authority (Ausländerbehörde) before starting the new job.

Q Can my children study for free if I work as a nurse in Germany?

Yes! Education in Germany is heavily subsidized by the state. Once your family joins you, your children have the right to attend high-quality public schools and universities completely free of charge.

Q Is a 3-year gap after GNM accepted by nursing councils in Bavaria (Germany)?

Yes, a 3-year gap after completing your GNM is generally accepted by the nursing authorities in Bavaria (Regierung von Oberbayern), provided you can justify the gap. However, it's highly recommended to have valid work experience. If the gap is due to further studies or legitimate personal reasons, you must explain it in your CV.
