Citizens of Pakistan require a residence permit for this purpose. The Immigration Act provides for two titles which govern entry and residence in Germany, namely the settlement permit and the residence permit.

Experienced or qualified IT specialists can expect attractive jobs in small and medium-sized enterprises, the manufacturing industry, or large international companies.
Specialists in several fields are particularly in demand across Germany, including software development, application support, IT security, and data science.
Employers are seeking talent capable of designing and implementing software systems, maintaining enterprise applications, securing company data, and analyzing complex datasets.
