Program Fees
Blocked Account Requirement
₹6,50,000 — the candidate's own funds, held in a blocked account from the time of visa application as a German regulatory requirement. Once the visa is granted and the candidate is in Germany, approximately ₹1,00,000 is released to their regular account each month for living expenses. This is separate from and in addition to the program fee.
The exact payment schedule (registration amount, installments, milestones) is specified in the MOU.
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)

Important Notes
- The Opportunity Card is a Job Seeker Visa, valid for 6 months. It allows the candidate to travel to Germany to search for full-time employment but does not itself guarantee a job offer, a work contract, or an extension of stay.
- Securing a full-time job offer within the visa validity is the candidate's own responsibility; we provide guidance and support throughout the search.
- Part-time work facilitated during the stay (minimum €2,000/month) is intended to support living expenses during the job search and is not a substitute for full-time employment.
- Final visa approval rests solely with the German authorities; timelines cannot be guaranteed.
- Salary and job-offer terms for any full-time or part-time role are confirmed at the actual offer and may vary by employer, role and location.
- Read the MOU carefully before signing.
