If you would've uploaded this video couple of months ago I would've saved my 1100 euros which company paid to relocation agent. Thank you so much for the video. It'll save a lot of time, money and stress for a lot of people in future.

[@sulmanaq]

I hope it does thank you

[@ssaadhussain902]

[@sulmanaq]

Hi Sulman, Thank you for make a good video. can you please share update about the spouse process ? also please confirm i have 2 degrees but i have attested only 1 master degree attested from HEC it will be fine or i need to attested both degrees ?

[@sulmanaq]

I don’t have much information about spouse visa but if you are married then you just take your family with you to your blue card appointment You will take your documents as mentioned in this video and also FRV documents. Thats the extent of my knowledge in this matter i hope it helps

[@Made_inPakistan]

I guess you're the first one who describes briefly and I'm very happy to know about And one more question is how much experience is required for applying for a job in Germany or experience is not mandatory Because currently I'm in Indonesia for my Bachelor in Informatics and I really want to move Germany either on master or Direct job For that i want experience or it is not mandatory? Thanks ❤

[@sulmana]

I have another video aligned explaining about getting job in Germany and I think that will answer few of your questions

[@sulmana]

And thank you so much :D

[@seherayesha1579]

I would greatly appreciate it if you could create a video on "How to book an appointment for a Blue Card visa, ensuring that both my husband and son can obtain their visas simultaneously." Additionally, please share the checklist needed for a Blue Card visa for this category. Many Thanks.

Please help with Travel insurance, can you please make video or share any resource?

[@sulmanaq]

I have a timestamp in my video for travel insurance and also I have shared few websites from where you can buy the travel insurance. You can watch the video from 15:40

[@Quantum_in_Java]

Thanks for beautifully explaining in the video. Can please say how long is your job contact? How long are the job contracts in germany offered for IT jobs usually are ?

[@sulmanaq]

Normally the contract is unlimited meaning there is no fixed time from both parties

[@Quantum_in_Java]

@@sulmanaq ohh 👍🏻.but I have seen multiple videos where they say they received job contract for 6 months 🤔? Is that also a norm too?

[@areebafatima7436]

Pls make a video on frv

[@sulmanaq]

Will do inshALLAH

[@tahaiqbal7455]

your video helped me alot. Thanks Buddy. Allah Blessed you always. I am very close to receiving an offer, most likely this week. The company has already shared the details with me and will send the official offer letter this coming Monday. I have informed them that I have a one-month notice period and that the visa processing time in Karachi is 5-10 weeks. I am confused about one thing: should I resign on the same day I receive the job offer (after I sign it)? In case the visa process takes more than two months, what should I tell them, or how should I handle it? My Profile: Degree: BS in Computer Science (BSCS) Position: Automation Test Engineer Experience: 7 years

[@sulmanaq]

So let me explain my case and maybe that can give you some ideas on how to handle this I got the offer on 27 july, i then waited for further instructions regarding the visa process and applied for appointment on 10th aug i think In a week or 2 i got the appointment for 5th September and at that time i told my current employer that i will give my notice most probably in September. I was very transparent with both of my employers Also I didn’t wanted to be unemployed for a long time, best case is to be free for 2-3 weeks before starting your new job In these 2-3 weeks you will handle all your chores in Germany and in Pakistan So i gave my notice in September, 30th sep was my last day and I travelled to Germany on 4th oct and 15th oct was my starting date I think you should give notice after getting appointment allotment, also make sure that all of your docs are complete prior to the appointment as you don’t want any delays in the visa processing I hope this helps, all of these are just my experiences and suggestions but please do your due diligence and good luck

[@aawoods7370]

Make a video Germany opportunity card please...

[@ssaadhussain902]

Can you please make a video on what to do when you reach Germany on work visa? For example the legalities and paperwork like city registration, bank account opening etc.

[@sulmanaq]

I think there are a lot of videos for that so creating a full video might not be worth it but i do believe a quick short is reqiired. But the issue is that there are so many variables that what i will tell might not be useful to others Thank you for suggestion really appreciate it

[@ssaadhussain902]

In the checklist, both anabin database points and statement of comparability are mentioned. Showing them only anabin printouts would work?

[@sulmanaq]

Yes only printouts are required

[@ssaadhussain902]

Other than the mandatory documents listed in the checklist, is there anything else that they need? Like previous work experience letters etc?

[@sulmanaq]

Nope those are not required for visa Only the checklist

[@shahiryarkhalid1633]

Hi, I hope you're well. I submitted my documents last week. How long does it take to receive an email about visa or get a visa stamp in general

[@sulmanaq]

In blue card and student its usually fast from 1 week to 3 weeks In normal work visa it can take few months

[@ehsanali39417]

Can you please confirm how much time it took to schedule your appointment in Pakistan? Additionally, how long did it take to receive your visa after the interview at the Islamabad embassy? i am waiting from last month but didn't get any confirmation yet i have applied for blue card

[@sulmanaq]

I applied in Aug mid and got the appointment after few days for 2 week of Sep. After appointment it only took 4 days for me to get my visa

[@mohsinvirk.]

I applied in the evening of 22nd of April 2024 and got appointment email on 24 of april 2024. my appointment was on 23 of May.

[@AmarjalilthoughtsBlogspot1]

I submitted my blue card application on 5th June at Karachi consulate and still waiting for their response. Please guide if I need to anything else as the joining date is also closer.

[@sulmanaq]

Unfortunately we can’t do anything apart from waiting Just hope for the best. Also try to your company in loop, in my case i asked my company to extend my joining date from 1st oct to 15th oct and they did without any issues Good luck

[@zeeshanalikhan8247]

One question about visa process, do we need to get documents attested from MOFA? Because on german visa website they don't mention this in blue card visa requirements but some of my friends says that i should get everything attested from MOFA ins Pakistan before going for visa appointment. JazakAllah

[@sulmanaq]

No mofa is not required for Germany. Dont worry about it
