To extend your Germany Opportunity Card beyond one year, you must fulfill certain criteria and follow the extension process carefully. Generally, you need to:
- Demonstrate continued eligibility by showing proof of ongoing employment or, if unemployed, active job-seeking efforts.
- Apply for the extension before your current Opportunity Card expires to avoid any legal gaps.
- Submit updated documents including proof of income, valid health insurance coverage, and confirmed accommodation in Germany.
- Comply with any additional requirements set by the local immigration office, which may include interviews or supplementary paperwork.
- Ensure you still meet the original criteria under which the card was granted for the extension to be approved.
