A chance card with work experience in a sanctioned company. In February 2025, a couple contacted us for help with a job search visa, which later transformed into a Chance Card.

Chancenkarte (“Chance Card”) is a relocation program to Germany for qualified professionals who do not have job offers from specific German companies. 

Before working, we studied the portfolio in detail in advance, because one of the spouses had experience working in a sub-sanctioned company with a long complex name. Way:

, March 15 — submission of documents in Moscow
March 28 — documents on the blocked account were sent
, April 16 — insurance request
, April 20 — the insurance was sent
🌟 May 14 , 2025 — passports with visas for the requested 6 months were taken away

It’s hard to say what played a role — a strong profile, an excellent set of documents or a successful morning for the consul, but the guys are already packed.
