WAB supports responsible and legally compliant international recruitment into Germany.
Recruitment pathways depend on factors including profession, current location, qualifications, professional recognition and applicable German recruitment requirements.
German rules place specific restrictions on private recruitment and placement from certain countries into health and nursing professions. WAB applies these requirements to the relevant profession and recruitment situation rather than making decisions based on nationality alone.
Candidates already based in Germany may require a different assessment according to their individual circumstances.
WAB does not make government decisions regarding visas, residence permits, professional recognition or licensing. These decisions remain with the competent German authorities.
