Visa and Residence Permits

To ensure a smooth and quick start, clear processes and complete documentation are essential. We support you in understanding the recruitment process from abroad and organizing the next steps. If you recruit skilled workers independently, your company should actively support the visa and residence permit process for your future employees. Employers also have obligations that must be observed.

Fast-Track Procedure for Skilled Workers

The fast-track procedure can help to facilitate the immigration of international skilled professionals in a faster and more streamlines way. In Lower Saxony, applications can be submitted online and centrally through the responsible office since 01/01/2026.

We recommend this procedure because it saves time and effort. We are happy to help you check the requirements and understand the process.
