Thank you, Jörg and Raoul, for the great video always. I wonder about the financial requirements of the 'Opportunity Card'. I could not find any valid sources, not even on the Make it in German website. Thank you in advance.

You said the Opportunity Card is geared more towards tradespeople and not so much IT professionals. I also heard that competition will be high in the first year and chances of obtaining a card will be slim. Overall, would you say a tech person shouldn't focus too much on the Opportunity Card?

Is there any changes with the new rule or any new date mentioned by government?
Any official government site ?

Hello, im for thailand.
I want to apply for this visa but I don't quite understand the details.

I don’t understand this :

Deutscher Hochschulabschluss oder anerkannter ausländischer, einem deutschen vergleichbarer Hochschulabschluss.

I want to know the embassy only needs universities that meet their criteria. Or does it have to be the university, faculty, and field of study?

People don't understand how important mastery of german language to find a job, even as qualifizierte akademische Fachkräfte. And just because one thinks their English is good, it doesn't mean the German coworkers could understand the various international accents.
