Do I need professional recognition to work as a doctor in Germany?
Yes. If you wish to practice medicine in Germany, you need to obtain either the Berufserlaubnis (temporary license) or Approbation (permanent license). Recognition ensures your qualifications meet German medical standards.
How is my foreign medical degree recognized in Germany?
Your degree will be compared to the German equivalent for your specialty. If there are significant differences, additional training or documentation may be required.
What level of German is required for doctors?
To work as a doctor, you typically need a B2 or C1 level in German (depending on the state and employer). You’ll also need to pass a medical language exam (Fachsprachprüfung) as part of the recognition process.
Can HR digi. help with the recognition and language preparation?
Absolutely. We support every step of the recognition process and connect you with certified language course providers to meet the language requirements.
What documents are needed for the recognition process?
You will usually need:
– Passport or ID
– Medical degree and transcripts
– Proof of professional experience
– Language certificates
– Sworn translations of documents
Exact requirements depend on the state where you apply.
Can I apply for a visa before my recognition is complete?
Yes, in many cases you can apply for a visa if you have conditional approval or a job offer. We guide you through this process in coordination with the German embassy in your country.
How long does the recognition process take?
The process usually takes 3 to 6 months, depending on the completeness of your documents and the workload of the responsible authority.
Can I work while waiting for my Approbation?
In some cases, yes. You may be allowed to work under a temporary license (Berufserlaubnis) while your full recognition is pending.
