The recognition of a specific degree is quite tricky because it states that it may happen that no degrees exist for a degree type. In this case, you can use the information on the degree type, which you can find using the 'search for degree types' search mask.

Long waited content, Thank you, great video! I think it will also be helpful for people video about filling comparability form of ZAB, because some fields in this form are not clear what they asking. Yesterday, for example, my friend did not know what to fill into input field (where text needs to be typed) labeled as "Secondary school qualification required for university admission*". And as I read now, as of January 1, 2024 ZAB is not giving equivalence certificates for vocational training certificates. Also, what I would like to add to it is, I think ZAB doing good job at improving their service. 4 years ago when I applied for the comparability for my Turkish Diploma. At that time all form fields were in german (now the website is available in en and uk as well), they accepted diploma and other related documents in german and english languages. 2 years ago when my friend applied for the comparability they started accepting documents in their original language (russian, turkish ...). For Turkish diploma they did not even want certified diploma copy, instead diploma with digital signature was enough (which you can get for free in a minute). Currently, it is awesome, if (as you said) they accept digital versions of all documents for the application.

The website for getting a degree recognized is in English but the login is through bundID which is mostly in English but also does some pop-ups only in German. Also, it's important to note that you can apply on ZAB for expedited recognition if you are applying for a Blue Card at the same time. But, the Blue Card application is completely separate.

A totally different procedure. - I applied to the ZAB 5 months ago. They told me that process time is 3 months. (Not Blue Card process, regular application) - Still no response and waiting.

Also in Reddit I've read several comments of people who had been waiting 6-7 months. People miss the academic schedule, visa appointments because of this delay.

Hello, thank you very much for this amazing and beautiful video. I have a question regarding, the chancenkarte visa if it needs the anabin database to consider the university degree fully equivalent to the German degree so I could apply for Option no.1 in the visa or it's just comparable so I apply for Option no. 2 which needs the points ?

This clears a lot of confusion, I still have one left though 😅 My degree is Bachelor's of Engineering Computer Systems Engineering which is comparable as per Anabin Database, and I am a software engineer/developer and will be applying for opportunity card so how will I check my profession will it be the same computer scientist? And if my degree is comparable does this means I directly qualify for opportunity card or it is partially recognized and I need to get as many points as possible?

@simplegermany 24 күн бұрын

The way we understand it is that if your degree is comparable you don't have to go through the points system. You still have to fulfill all 3 basic requirements that we list in the Chancenkarte video though. The point system and therefore correlation between qualifications and work experience matters if your qualifications are not fully recognized/comparable. But in the end only your local embassy can inform you in your specific case. 😊

almost everything explained very well.. but i still have a tiny confusion. i have also heard that the degree should also be listed or say associated with your university. my university has H+ status and my degree which is BS Software Engineering has A4 status in university degree section.. but, the degree is not listed on my university detail page and similarly my university is not listed on the degree detail page under 'lending institutes' .. if you get my point please help me out 😿

I did my recognition with the ZAB. My profession (Innenarchitekt) in the Anerkennung stated it. For me it took various steps. 1. Have my University degree validated from my home countrys education ministry. 2. Get the studies plan to have an equivalent certification in Germany. 3. In the Anabin, I found my University (H+), but not my Degree, so I sent a request to the ZAB for a Statement of Equivalent. 4. Wait 3 months ...😅 It's not fun, takes long time if you are not Blue Card eligible, but it works as the video states.

Thank you so much for this wonderful and informative video! I do have one query for the Anabin Database, which I think you may have missed out in this video. This is a query of thousands of applicants out there, so it would be great if you can respond to it in a short video. I can see in the video that you searched the University on the Anabin database first and checked for its H+ status, and then you checked for the degree status entirely separately on the Anabin database. However, the following query, which I have noticed so many applicants asking the same question and facing the same issue, is as follows: My university is listed as H+ on the Anabin Database. However, when I select that University, and scroll to the 'Degrees' section at the bottom, there is only one degree listed there, which is NOT the degree that I completed with that University. Would this mean that my degree is not recognized as H+ and only my university's status is H+? This would mean partial recognition since the degree is not listed under the University's Degrees section. There's massive confusion about this. Can you please help?

@simplegermany 17 күн бұрын

Thanks for your great feedback and phrasing your question so accurately! 😊 the answer lies in what we don’t say 😉.
