German Work Visa from Pakistan

[zhaider87]

Hi,

I'm expecting a job offer from Germany and I wanted to see what are the requirements for the work Visa. I'm a bit confused as the German Embassy site in Pakistan listed following as the requirements:

pakistan.diplo.de/pk-en/service/05-VisaEinreise/4-work-jobseeker/1676106

And while I looked as general German Work Visa requirements I don't see Blocked Account, TOEFL/IELTS or my educational degrees being attested as requirements. Can someone clear the confusion because the embassy, I assume has merged the requirements of job seeking vs WorkVisa and I'm not looking for Job seeking Visa.

Anyway, the main question I have is will my job experience letters required to be in detail about the job responsibilities/roles/projects I worked on or a simple acknowledgement letter will be suffice? Since my last employer issue experience letter based on simple templates like work from this to this date with this designation and satisfactory and I have it like that. Secondly what about my current employer, I don't know if I let them know that I'm moving to Germany and what will be their reaction, so how should I work around that? Can I skip their experience letter and instead provide my offer letter?

Thanks in advance.

They recently updated and changed their embassy / consulate websites globally and a lot of information is missing.

Just to make sure, if I were you, I would not hesitate to get in touch with them via email and specifically request their requirements for applying for a blue card / employment visa since you will have a job offer and as you said you are not looking for work.
