The German government on December 19 finalized a new immigration law that grants skilled workers from Non-European countries the opportunity to achieve permanent residence status in Germany.

The new law, which still requires the formal approval of the
German parliament, aims to make it easier for skilled workers from countries
that are not members of the European Union (EU) to immigrate to Germany.
The new immigration law for
skilled workers stipulates, among other things, that the hurdles for the
admission of workers from non-EU states are to be lowered. Qualified workers
should be allowed to come to Germany without an employment contract to seek a job.
Hitherto, this was only possible for university graduates.
The German economy is lacking
skilled workers, especially in small and medium-sized companies. According to a
study published by the German development bank KfW in November, 65 percent of
small and medium-sized companies in Germany fear that they cannot find the
appropriate candidates for their planned hiring of skilled workers over the
next three years.
Joerg Zeuner, chief economist
at KfW, said that Germany would undoubtedly need "many more qualified
immigrants in the coming years than before."
Ralph Brinkhaus, leader of the CDU parliamentary
faction, said that the law would be "a building block to better meet the
demand for qualified workers in the future".

The danger from the COVID-19 pandemic is still latent, threatening people’s health and lives in the context that the immunity provided from the COVID-19 vaccine has decreased.
