§81a Accelerated Skilled Worker Procedure
On the standard visa route the consulate examines the whole file. Here the examination moves to the foreigners authority and the steps run in parallel with the Federal Employment Agency. The application is opened under the power of attorney the company grants us; an individual cannot open it alone.
- The procedure is run at the foreigners authority under the employer's power of attorney; we keep the correspondence on record
- Recognition of the qualification and, where needed, professional recognition are run in parallel by us or by the foreigners authority
- Requests from the office are compiled and sent in, and the pre-approval and appointment stage are tracked
Time and official fee
How long it takes depends on the case officer and on how complete the file is. Official fee for 2026: €411 per procedure. It goes to the state and does not depend on the outcome.
