How many points do I need for the Opportunity Card, and is there a calculator?

Six, unless you do not need points at all: if your degree or vocational qualification is fully recognised or comparable in Germany, you count as a skilled worker and get the card without the points test, only with proof of funds. Everyone else needs a qualification recognised in India, A1 German or B2 English, and 6 points from: partial recognition by a German body (4), German B2/B1/A2 (3/2/1), English C1 (1), 5 or 2 years of related experience (3 or 2), age 35 or younger (2) or 36 to 40 (1), a shortage profession (1), 6 months' earlier stay in Germany (1), a spouse applying with you (1). The calculator on this site follows the statute line by line and tells you which route you are on: /tools/opportunity-card-calculator If your situation is different, reply below with the details and I will try to help, or someone who has been through it will.
