**German Ambassador Philipp Ackermann Invites Highly Skilled Indians to Explore Opportunities in Germany**
Amid rising tensions between India and the US over the recent hike in H-1B work visa fees, Germany has extended a warm invitation to skilled Indian professionals. Ambassador Philipp Ackermann, the German Ambassador to India, highlighted Germany’s stable migration policies and promising job prospects for Indians in various sectors.
In a post on X, Ambassador Ackermann stated, “Germany stands out with its stable migration policies and offers great job opportunities for Indians in IT, management, science, and technology.” Accompanying his message was a video and a link directing users to a dedicated webpage showcasing diverse career opportunities available in Germany.
In the video, he further emphasized the contribution of Indian professionals in the country:
“Indians are among the top earners in Germany. The average Indian working in Germany earns more than the average German in the country. That’s good news because a high salary means that Indians are contributing significantly to our society and our welfare. We believe in hard work and giving the best jobs to the best people.”
Ambassador Ackermann also drew a comparison to Germany’s reliable engineering reputation when describing the country’s migration policies:
“Our migration policy works a bit like a German car: it’s reliable, modern, and predictable. It will go in a straight line with no zig-zags. You don’t have to fear a full break at top speed. We do not change our rules fundamentally overnight. Highly skilled Indians are welcome in Germany.”
This statement from the German Embassy comes just days after the White House announced a new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas, with case-by-case exemptions available if deemed in the national interest. The announcement triggered widespread panic and confusion among Indians in the US holding H-1B visas. Many canceled travel plans at the last minute while awaiting flights to India, and several already in India scrambled to return due to the uncertainty caused by the fee hike.
