Frequently Asked Questions

A Manageable Employer Process

I am already familiar with this process and handle the applicant side myself once the employer documents are ready. For companies, it mainly comes down to choosing the standard or expedited route and submitting a small set of documents clearly once.

Option 1: Classic Path (§ 36 BeschV)
1. Your Part: Pre-Approval

You submit the "Declaration of Employment" form, the apprenticeship contract, and the vocational school registration to your local Federal Employment Agency. This step is free and takes 2-4 weeks.

2. My Part: Embassy Appointment

Wait Time: 2-4 MONTHS

After your approval, I must wait for an appointment from the German Embassy in Morocco before I can apply at TLScontact.

Option 2: Expedited Path (§ 81a AufenthG)
1. Your Part: Initiate Procedure

With my power of attorney, you initiate the procédure at your local Foreigners' Authority, which becomes your central contact. The fee is €411.

2. My Part: Direct Appointment

Wait Time: Within 3 WEEKS

I receive a guaranteed appointment at TLScontact to apply directly. The final decision is typically made within another 3 weeks.

Your Security and My Responsibility

Clear Contract Handling: A common clause can state that the apprenticeship contract takes effect once the visa is issued. Employers can use their normal HR or legal wording for this.

Once the employer-side documents are ready, I handle the remaining applicant-side process: appointment booking, document preparation, submission, and follow-up questions.

Because I have already spent time in Germany, I have contacts who can help me arrange accommodation quickly once there is a confirmation.

My long-term focus is clearly IT. My time in the nursing field helped me understand the German work environment better and strengthen communication, patience, and interpersonal skills that are also valuable in IT support and system work.

Germany offers excellent training opportunities and career prospects, especially in the IT sector. Furthermore, I appreciate the high quality of work and the international atmosphere here.

I hold Goethe B2 in German and use English at C2 level in technical and professional contexts.
