Arbeitsmarkt: Mehr ausländische Berufe anerkannt - Zahl aus Syrien steigt

Germany is recognizing an increasing number of foreign professional qualifications. Last year, authorities granted 86,600 applications - nearly 10 percent more than the previous year, according to the Federal Statistical Office. While growth has slowed compared to 2024 and 2023, when recognitions rose by 21 and 25 percent respectively, the trend is still upward.

The majority of recognitions came from Turkey (9,800), accounting for 11 percent of all recognitions. Additionally, around 8,300 recognitions were reported from Ukraine. Significant representation was also seen from Syria (6,100), India, and Tunisia (each with 5,400). The number of recognized professional qualifications from Syria rose by 42 percent compared to the previous year.

In contrast, fewer certifications were granted from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bosnia and Herzegovina previously had the most or second-most approved professional qualifications from 2016 to 2023.
