Finding your way to Germany starts with understanding where you are now.
You don’t need to know which visa, programme or immigration route you should apply for. Germany Unlocked starts with your goal and your situation and helps you work out what paths may fit.
Tell us what you want to do
Start with your goal:
- Find work in your profession
- Start a new career
- Study in Germany
- Do an Ausbildung
- Join a family member or spouse
- Explore your options if you’re not sure yet
Your goal determines which questions and pathways are relevant to you.
Tell us about yourself
Answer a few questions about your profession or intended field, education, experience, German level and current situation.
The roadmap adapts to your answers, so you don’t have to work through information that isn’t relevant to you.
We identify the pathways that may fit
Germany Unlocked compares your situation with structured pathway information.
It doesn’t simply show you every possible way to Germany. It identifies the pathways that are relevant to your goal and profile, then ranks them based on the information available.
See where you stand
You’ll receive an encouraging readiness overview that helps you understand your starting position.
It is not an approval or rejection, and it is not a legal immigration eligibility decision. Missing information is also not automatically treated as a problem—the system distinguishes between something you haven’t met, something that still needs to be verified, and something we simply don’t know yet.
