During 2016, over 31,000 Kosovars have found legal work in Germany

In a study published on Friday by the Nürnberg Institute for Research on the Labour Market and Professions (IAB) were presented the results of the regulation that Germany's Federal Government had enacted in October 2016 for securing working visas for citizens of Balkan countries, writes focus.de.

The word is for a „The exhibition of limited job market opening“estimates the authors of the study.

The new arrangement requires the applicant to testify that he has found a normal pay job in a German company, broadcasts albinfo.ch. Then, if the local labour agency estimates that there are not easily unemployed locals in that area who will take up the free position of work in the assigned profession, it releases the work permit for the Balkans they have applied. And this job permit is a prerequisite for winning a German travel visa.

According to the study, from November 2015 to September 2017 at the Federal Labour Agency, 128 thousand job applications have been reached. Of them, the agency in question has provided the green light with a total of 101 thousand requests.

For the Albanian reader, it is of interest that, as the study has found in question, the largest number of those who have received such a work permit make up Kosovo's citizens, writes albinfo.ch. Only from January to the end of November 2017 are the 31,300 Kosovars who have received <x0m> green “to work in Germany, which is that they make up about 30 %s of the total number of all Balkans who have had this destiny.

One study suggests that this number of Kosovars equipped with German work permits is 90 percent higher than that of a year ago.

In second place, 22.,200 work permits come to the citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina (43.8) more than a year ago, while in the third are citizens of Serbia with 15100 such permits or 46.4% more than in 2016.

But getting permission or green light from the Labour Agency still does not mean that you can start automatically from work, it transmits albinfo.ch. This is because, as the study has concluded, obstacles come in line, called visas.

Germany's consular representatives in Western Balkan countries are preoccupied with visa requirements that citizens of the countries make in question after securing a job in Germany. Hence, processing their demands often lasts for months and even for up to a year.
