The Chancenkarte (Opportunity Card) is Germany’s points-based job-seeker visa introduced in June 2024: with 6 points you can move to Germany for 12 months to find work — no job offer required. This free Chancenkarte calculator applies the official §20a AufenthG criteria: qualification and partial recognition, shortage occupation, professional experience, German (A2–B2) and English levels, age, previous stays in Germany and an accompanying spouse.
Enter your profile and see your score instantly, with concrete tips to close the gap — reaching German A2 adds a point, partial recognition of your qualification adds four. The calculator also shows the money requirement (about 1,027 € per month, usually via a blocked account) so you know the full picture before applying at the German embassy.
