For healthcare professionals
Your way into German healthcare, one clear step at a time
Recognition in Germany is not one single procedure. It changes with your profession, the country you qualified in and the federal state you want to work in. Get2Germany turns all of that into one roadmap that is yours.
- Built from your profession and your country
- Follows the rules of your federal state
- Always one next step, never a wall of advice
Free to start, and it works without an account. Create one whenever you want your progress saved.
For every healthcare profession, not only doctors
Every regulated health profession has its own recognition route, its own authority and its own paperwork. Pick yours and the roadmap follows it.
- Doctors
- Nurses and care workers
- Physiotherapists
- Midwives
- Dentists
- Pharmacists
- Occupational and speech therapists
- Laboratory and radiology technicians
Your profession is not on the list? Type it in and the roadmap works out which route applies.
How it works
A few questions is all it takes to start.
- 1
Tell us about yourself
Your profession, the country you qualified in, your German, and the federal state you are aiming for. It takes a few minutes.
- 2
Get your roadmap
You see the steps that genuinely apply to you, in the order they unlock. The ones that do not apply are simply not there.
- 3
Work through one step at a time
Each step says what to do, which authority it goes to and why it applies to you. Finish it, tick it, move on.
- 4
Keep it up to date
Passed an exam, moved state, got a job offer? Tell the built-in assistant and your roadmap is recalculated around the change.
The whole route, in one place
From the first certified copy to your first shift on a ward.
Documents
Which certificates and translations your authority wants, how they have to be certified, and what to request from your university before you apply.
Recognition application
Where your application goes, what the authority checks, and what happens if it comes back saying something is missing.
Language and exams
The German level your profession asks for, and how to prepare for the Fachsprachenprüfung or Kenntnisprüfung when your route includes one.
Visa and entry
Which residence permit fits your case, what the embassy expects, and how it lines up with your recognition.
Arriving and working
Registration, insurance, your first contract, and the practical things nobody puts on an official checklist.
Why a personal roadmap beats a checklist
Generic advice sends you down the wrong path. Your roadmap is built from your own answers.
Your federal state, not a national average
The sixteen states run recognition themselves, so requirements, waiting times and even the exam differ. Your roadmap follows the state you actually apply in.
One next action at a time
Instead of a long generic list you see the single thing to do now, together with the reason it applies to your case.
It moves when you move
Your situation keeps changing. Tell the assistant what happened and the rest of the route is recalculated, so it never goes stale.
