I was going through the checklist of documents for visa on their website. Wanted to ask you about the item in checklist - Proof of qualification and experience certificates for future employment in Germany. For this was our degrees and experience letters from past and current office enough? Do we need joining letters, payslips, transcripts, etc??
What should be the visa type and sub-category for the dependent spouse traveling along with the applicant? Same as an applicant? Employment visa: Subcategory: Blue Card, ICT, ZAV pre-approval + dependants Please confirm.
Hello, Thanks for this detailed process. Really appreciated. Just wanted to clarify one thing regarding health insurance and travel insurance. The checklist for EU blue card mentions the following (Certificate about compulsory health insurance (Gesetzliche oder private Krankenversicherung) from German employer valid from date of employment. Please note: If not already included in the compulsory health insurance a separate travel health insurance has to be presented for the time frame from arrival in Germany until beginning of employment (see below). Does this mean one needs to have a compulsory insurance at the time of interview from the employer or i need to purchase separate travel insurance and also public / private insurance from the recommended german insurer recommended on india.diplo. ? Please can you clarify the above statements mentioned in the checklist ? Its confusing.

Hey, thanks for sharing the information. I just want to know about various experience letters that I have. I am having more than 7 years of experience, some relevant and some irrelevant to the position I am applying for.

Thanks. If start date of employment is 1st apr and i arrive 15 days prior in germany.. should I be buying an insurance of 15 days? Can i take travel health insurance itself of 15 days?
You cannot arrive early. Visa will start on the date of employment. In some cases, you may get 1 week early visa but not guaranteed. Anyways you should have insurance of 3 months at least.

Hi all, This is aswin from Chennai. Recently i got a job offer from Germany and looking to apply for German visa. my doubt is to book an appointment in vfs global. since iam single in subcategory what to select? 1) Employment -Bluecard,ICT,ZAV + dependents. 2 ) Employment - skilled workers. and few my friends suggest to wait sometime,till it opens for employment - bluecard + zav approval ( i.e without dependents) could you please help on this?
in your case it should be option -1, if your employer is going to apply for ZAV approval. you should not get confused by ' + dependents'. It just means that dependent if applying together with primary applicant of employment visa, need to book an appointment in the same category. Basically if a married person applies for employment visa, he would book an appointment in option-1 category ( provided he is eligible for BC/ ICT/ ZAV). His spouse ( if planning to travel with him) would also additionally need to book another appointment in the same category ie. option-1.
