Germany will need an additional seven million skilled workers by 2035 1 . The shortage of skilled workers is particularly high in nursing and healthcare occupations, jobs in the skilled trades such as plant mechanics for sanitary, heating and air-conditioning technology, in energy technology, in construction and finishing occupations, in mechatronics, electronics, automation technology and road haulage, as well as those in the field of childcare and social work, technical occupations in the areas of IT and construction planning as well as in the food and beverages industry 2 . To address critical labour shortages and ensure the sustainability of its economy, Germany has introduced new immigration laws aimed at easing the entry and residency requirements for skilled migrant workers from outside the EU. This brochure aims to provide guidance for those seeking to understand the new Skilled Immigration Act of Germany as well as the process of entry into Germany's labour market. It does not claim to be fully comprehensive but simply provides a summary of the current regulations for non-EU nationals.
