德國工作證

Immigration and Work Permits

In General —
Anyone intending to work in Germany must apply for a residence permit and a work permit. U.S. citizens can apply for a residence permit after entering Germany without a visa or can follow the more usual process for non-EU nationals of applying for a permit from the German embassy or a consulate in the U.S. before leaving for Germany.

計畫在德國工作的任何人都必須申請居留證和工作許可證。
美國公民無需簽證即可進入德國後可以申請居留許可，在前往德國之前，也可以按照非德國公民向德國大使館，或美國領事館申請許可的更普遍程序進行辦理。

Germany differentiates between employment as a skilled worker and other forms of employment. Skilled workers fall into two categories: those with professional training and those with academic training. Degrees earned abroad must be officially recognized in Germany. Skilled workers with professional training must have completed an officially recognized professional training program, which according to German law must be at least two years in length. Skilled workers with academic training must have earned a degree from an institute of higher education. Skilled workers may take up a position only if it is considered qualified employment. Skilled workers with professional training must present proof that they have a command of German at the level needed for their desired occupation.

德國區分技術工人的就業和其他形式的就業。
技術工人分為兩類：接受過專業培訓的人員和接受過學術培訓的人員。
在國外獲得的學位必須在德國得到正式認可。
經過專業培訓的熟練工人必須完成官方認可的專業培訓計劃，根據德國法律，該計劃必須至少為期兩年。
受過學術訓練的技術工人必須已從高等教育機構獲得學位。
技術工人只有在被認為是合格的工作時才能擔任該職位。
受過專業訓練的熟練工人必須出示證明，他們具有所需職業所需的德語水平。

In addition to qualification as a skilled worker, residence titles can be issued for occupations regulated by the Employment Ordinance. These include management positions in companies, certain secondments, professional drivers, specialist chefs, artists, athletes, certain internships and people employed under contracts for work and services.

除了具有技術工人資格外，還可以為《就業條例》規定的職業頒發居留權。
這些包括公司的管理職位，某些借調，專業司機，專業廚師，藝術家，運動員，某些實習生以及根據工作和服務合同僱用的人員。

Applicants who have already found an employer can authorize the employer to submit a fast-track application for them as a skilled worker at the local foreigners authority. The foreigners authority will advise the employer and be of assistance in filing an application for recognition of the applicant’s foreign degree or certificate. The authority is also responsible for obtaining the necessary approval from the Federal Employment Agency.

已經找到雇主的申請人可以在當地外國人當局授權雇主以技術熟練工人的身份提交快速申請。
外國人當局將為雇主提供建議，並在申請承認其外國學位或證書的過程中提供協助。
該機構還負責獲得聯邦職業介紹所的必要批准。

Intracompany transfers. Germany has implemented the EU’s Intra-Corporate Transfer Directive (ICT), which is intended to ease the movement of highly qualified non-EU nationals into and within the European Economic Area. Under the directive, managers, specialists, and trainees from outside the EU can apply for work and residence permits if they are going to be on assignment in Germany for more than 90 days.

公司內部調轉。德國已經實施了歐盟的公司內部轉移指令（ICT），旨在減輕高素質的非歐盟國民進入歐洲經濟區和在歐洲經濟區內的流動。
根據該指令，如果歐盟以外的經理，專家和受訓人員要在德國任職90天以上，則可以申請工作和居住許可證。

ICT work and residence permits are limited to three years for managers and specialists and one year for trainees. Managers and specialists must have worked for their employers for at least nine months, trainees for at least six months to qualify for ICT permits. Once an intracompany assignment is completed, the employee must serve a cooling-o period of six months before becoming eligible to obtain a new ICT card.

對於管理人員和專家而言，ICT工作和居留證的期限限制為三年，對於受訓人員，則為一年。
管理人員和專家必須為雇主工作至少9個月，為受訓人員工作至少6個月，才有資格獲得ICT許可證。
一旦完成公司內部分配，員工須等待六個月的冷靜期，然後才能獲得新的ICT卡。

Holders of ICT permits can apply for a Mobile ICT Permit allowing them to work in an EU/EEA country other than the one into which they were initially transferred. Non-EU nationals holding an ICT permit issued by another EU country are not required to obtain a mobile ICT card if they are sent to Germany by their employer on a short-term assignment of up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The sending
company in the EU country must notify the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees of the assignment to Germany in advance of the trip.

持有ICT許可證的人可以申請移動ICT許可證，允許他們在歐盟/歐洲經濟區（EU / EEA）國家（最初轉移的國家除外）工作。
持有另一歐盟國家頒發的ICT許可證的非歐盟國民，如果其雇主在任意180天內最多90天的短期任務將其發送到德國，則無需獲得移動ICT卡。
歐盟國家/地區的寄件公司必須在旅行之前將分配給德國的移民和難民局通知。

Applicants fluent in German can qualify for permanent residence after 21 months of employment, and those whose skills are particularly needed in Germany (the medical sector, for example, and the “MINT” disciplines of mathematics, information technology, natural science, and engineering) can qualify for resident status earning a lower salary.

精通德語的申請人可以在工作21個月後獲得永久居留的資格，以及那些在德國特別需要技能的申請人（例如，醫療部門以及數學，信息技術，自然科學和工程學的“ MINT”學科）有資格獲得較低的薪水的居民身份。

Qualifying for a Blue Card can be easier than going through the usual residence permit process, and a German residence permit authorized by a Blue Card can be valid for up to four years rather than the usual three.

與通過通常的居留許可程序相比，獲得藍卡的資格要容易得多，並且由藍卡授權的德國居留證的有效期最多為四年，而不是通常的三年。
