Introduction

What You Need to Know

Complete guide to the premium permit for qualified professionals

The EU Blue Card is a residence permit for highly qualified non-EU workers, offering significant advantages over the standard employment visa. It operates outside the annual Flow Decree quotas, with no cap on permits issued each year.

Applicants need a subordinate employment contract of at least six months with a minimum gross salary of €35,500 per year. They must hold a recognized bachelor's degree, have five years of professional experience in the relevant field, or three years in ICT within the last seven years.

The Blue Card is valid for up to two years and allows immediate family reunification. After 12 months, holders can change employer or apply to work in another EU country.
