View All Questions

Q Do German hospitals pay for flight tickets for Indian nurses?

Yes, many reputable German public and private hospitals cover the cost of your one-way flight from India to Germany, as well as initial accommodation for 3-6 months. Prime Step ensures this is explicitly written into your employment contract.

Q What exactly is a Defizitbescheid and why do Indian nurses get it?

A Defizitbescheid is an official "notice of deficit" issued by German state authorities. Because Indian nursing curriculum (GNM or BSc) differs slightly from the European standard (especially in practical hours for certain wards like psychiatry), the authority issues this document outlining exactly what hours or exams you are missing.

Q Can I do a PG or Master’s degree after working as a nurse in Germany?

Absolutely. Many Indian nurses choose to work for a few years and then pursue advanced degrees like a Master's in Healthcare Management, Public Health, or Advanced Nursing Practice (ANP) at German universities, which are usually tuition-free.

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 GNM diploma nurses from India work in the ICU in Germany?

Yes, GNM nurses can work in the ICU in Germany, but first, they must complete the recognition process (Anerkennung) to become a registered nurse (Pflegefachkraft). Afterwards, working in specialized departments like the ICU often requires a specialization course (Fachweiterbildung).

Q Is the EU Blue Card available for Indian nurses in Germany?

Yes! As of recent updates to the Skilled Immigration Act, nursing is considered a "bottleneck profession." If you have a recognized B.Sc. Nursing degree and a job offer meeting the lower salary threshold (approx. €40,000+ per year), you are eligible for the highly coveted EU Blue Card, which fast-tracks permanent residency.
