The German Interior Ministry is considering easing immigration to address the shortage of real estate experts

The German government will discuss bills that will facilitate immigration from countries outside the European Union into Germany. This is to compensate for the shortage of skilled workers, in the field of real estate among others

Germany’s Interior Minister Horst Seehofer will present a new proposal to the Bundestag in the near future. According to this citizens of third countries (i.e., non-EU members) will get the option to seek employment within Germany in predefined areas.

Areas in question are ones where there is currently a shortage of professionals in Germany. These individuals will be able to go to Germany. And look for employment for a period of six months.

This is on the assumption that they prove that they have relevant education. At the same time, the proposal seeks to revoke a previously valid clause. The “priority review,” according to which it was mandatory to check in advance. Whether there is a German citizen who can fill the relevant position before the foreign national.
