Kaj, če nimam univerzitetne diplome?

Under the revised EU directive 2021/1883, IT workers (system analysts, software developers, web developers, database specialists, network engineers) can substitute 5+ years of relevant experience for a university degree. This applies in DE, AT, NL, BE, FR (with sub-categories) and most other implementing countries since 2024. For non-IT roles, a recognised degree is mandatory — academic recognition (anerkennung-in-deutschland.de for DE) usually takes 4-8 weeks.

Kako dolgo traja postopek Modre karte?

Typical timeline: 4-12 weeks at the destination country's embassy/consulate. Germany has a 'Fast-Track' process for shortage occupations that can complete in 4-6 weeks if the employer pre-applies via Make it in Germany. Fastest in 2026: Portugal AIMA (often 4-8 weeks), Poland (6-12 weeks). Slowest: France consulates (8-16 weeks), Spain UGE (8-14 weeks). Plan to start at least 4 months before your intended start date.

Lahko se z Modro karto preselim v drugo državo EU?

Yes — after 12 months of legal residence in your first Blue Card country, you can apply for a Blue Card in a second EU member state under simplified rules (no need for a new academic recognition or new contract approval). After 5 years of cumulative legal stay across multiple member states, you qualify for the EU Long-Term Residence Permit, valid in all member states with full work and family reunification rights.

Mejne plače Modre karte EU 2026 na prvi pogled

The EU Blue Card is the most popular skilled-worker visa for non-EU professionals in Europe. Each member state implements the EU directive 2009/50/EC (revised by 2021/1883) with its own salary threshold, expressed as a multiple of the country's average annual gross salary (typically 1.0× for shortage occupations, 1.5× for regular roles).

2026 thresholds for the 10 covered countries: Germany €48,300 / €43,759 (shortage), Austria €45,595, France €53,837, Netherlands €60,612 / €44,256 (under 30), Belgium €55,000, Italy €33,500, Spain €40,690 / €33,908, Poland €20,500 (lowest in EU), Portugal €27,000. Ireland is not in the Blue Card scheme but operates the Critical Skills Employment Permit at €38,000.

Beyond the salary threshold, every successful Blue Card application also needs: a recognised university degree (or 5+ years of equivalent experience for IT roles in some countries — this is the new EU directive 2021/1883 flexibility), a binding contract for at least 6 months, a clean criminal record from your country of origin, valid passport and accommodation evidence. The application typically takes 4-12 weeks at the destination country's embassy or migration office.
