Losing a job with an EU Blue Card In Germany 🇩🇪 | 5 Steps to follow 

Hello, as per my information it’s 3 months. However, I would recommend to get in contact with local foreign authorities

Take a follow up with Ausländerbehöde. You can also go to unemployment office with blue card

Along with blue card you get additional 3 months. If you lose job with resident permit your visa ends with end of employment contract. However, please consult with Agentur für Arbeit.

After the end date of work contract

Yes I do agree. It's bit complicated will confirm with Ausländerbehöde. Thank you for question.

The new job must meet the conditions of the Blue Card, including the minimum salary requirement. If you find a new full-time job within the grace period, but it pays less than the minimum salary required for the Blue Card, it could potentially affect your residency status. However, there may be some flexibility depending on your specific circumstances and the discretion of immigration authorities. It's crucial to consult with immigration authorities or legal experts familiar with German immigration law to understand your options and any potential consequences of accepting a job that pays less than the Blue Card minimum salary. They can provide you with personalized advice based on your situation.

Blue card is based on your work contract. If you change your job, in the 1st two years, then you need to inform Arbeitsamt.

Hi, if you know it then I would recommend to inform them and not to wait

I was wondering what did you do in your situation? I have a similar case

@@moizrk Register immediately but declare unemployment when 3 months are remaining.

@@wrightvcx2249 I have informed the Agentur für Arbeit and they said come in couple of months, should I inform the ABh right away as well or in a couple of months before the end of termination period? Sorry for the confusion I'm just trying to figure out how to get the most amount of time

Yes. Should be possible

Yes, this is (or should be) relatively easy, unless the EU Blue Card is for a longer remaining duration than the new contract is for. This _can_ actually be converted without need to reissue a new EU Blue Card visa, but the bureaucrats might initially turn you away, and demand that you reapply entirely new. If your new company provides a service to deal with and process your immigration status, then they can usually take care of this. (source: this happened to me)

Hi, either you find a job or before your visa expires or you need to move back to India

Yes. As your blue card is based on your work contract and if you are fired you need to inform job center.

Once you are a blue card holder and a full-time employee, I doubt you can get back the student visa again. However, please check with local authorities.

Hi, blue card salary criteria is individual. If either one of them (husband or wife) fulfills the salary requirements he/she should get a blue card. Combined income is not considered

@@GlobePravasi Thanks a lot Sir... regards

Hi, get a job offer first. Then, schedule an appointment or visit the Ausländerbehörde in person to inform them of your intention to job change (don't name employer). take along all the required documents related to your new job offer. They can guide you.

An EU Blue Card holder can generally stay outside Germany for up to 12 months without losing their residence permit. This period allows for extended travel or temporary work assignments outside Germany. Please consult with Ausländerbehöde tough

@@GlobePravasi I can work from India remotely like a period of 5-6 month if I have blue card ??

@@ckroutray The EU Blue Card is tied to your employment in Germany. If your German employer agrees, you can work remotely from India. However, this must not conflict with the conditions of your Blue Card. Also keep in mind 183 days rule for taxes

@@GlobePravasi Thanks a lot for your advice

Take and appointment or write email to them

@@GlobePravasi Is there a specific format I need to use?

@@josesamp Well, I didn't come across it. If you write them in detail, it should work.

@@GlobePravasi TBH, This video seems inadequate for individuals who have been terminated while holding a blue card in Germany. The steps provided lack clarity and actionable guidance. The information presented appears to be general knowledge for someone residing in Germany with a blue card, akin to a brief two-minute read.

@@josesamp Yes. It’s a general video. Soon will be a detailed video with process will be posted

This will be covered in an updated video soon.

@@GlobePravasi could you describe briefly as its my 3rd month being unemployed in Germany and thinking to go back to India

@@rubalfromthehimalayas Have you talked about it with Aüslanderbehorde and Agentur für Arbeit

Yes, as a Blue Card visa holder in Germany, you have the flexibility to search for a job in the Netherlands, but there are specific conditions and steps you need to follow to ensure compliance with both German and Dutch regulations.
