Frequently asked questions

Is the placement really free for occupational therapists?

Yes. Applicants pay DIH ProErgo no placement fee. The employer in Germany pays our fee, success-based after the contract is signed (employer-pays principle). Translations, authority fees and language exams are costs within the process; we tell you in advance which ones apply and which subsidies exist.

How much German do I need as an occupational therapist in Germany?

The state authorities usually require German B2 for the professional licence. For entry into the adaptation period many authorities accept B1 if the path to B2 is documented. We assess your level in the first conversation and plan your language course with you.

How long does it take from application to working in Germany?

Typically 6 to 12 months: documents and language course, application to the recognition authority, contract with the employer, visa in the accelerated skilled-worker procedure, arrival. With B2 already in hand it is faster; without any German it takes longer.
