Who can apply

This route asks for a degree you already hold.

Nursing is a credentialed trade. You need a GNM or BSc in nursing plus your Indian registration. Ward experience helps, and Germany and Australia count it differently: your advisor maps yours on the call.

No nursing degree?

Four of our routes start from zero. We build the trade in you at the centre, then move you.

Route 1 · Germany

Pflegefachkraft · staff nurse

₹35–48 Lyear one, gross

€2,700 to 3,650 a month: the recognition phase first, then the public staff-nurse pay table (€3,510 plus the nursing allowance), at ₹109 to the euro, before shift pay.

[V] TVöD pay table · public · valid to Mar 2027

The honest part, up front: the recognition months pay less, €2,700 to 3,000 gross, while you work on the ward and Germany checks your degree. The full table opens when the licence does. It is printed here because you would find it anyway.

The visa
You enter on a recognition visa (§16d), in your own name, while Germany assesses your degree. Once recognised, you switch to the staff-nurse permit (§18a). [V] §16d AufenthG · the law itself
The staying
The settlement permit opens 3 years after your staff-nurse permit begins, with B1 German. Published law, not our promise. [V] §18c AufenthG · the law itself
The family
From the staff-nurse permit, your spouse joins with no German test and full work rights, and your children come with. During the recognition phase the rules are tighter, so your advisor maps your family's dates before you decide anything. [V] §30 AufenthG · the law itself
The standard
B2 German plus the nursing language exam. Kaushal Bhasha teaches the German of the ward from your mother tongue, at the centre in Chandigarh, while your recognition file is built right the first time.
The demand
Germany's own hospital association counts about 300,000 hospital staff retiring by 2035: one in four. The demand is permanent, not seasonal. [V] DKG Fachkräftemonitoring · Mar 2026 · open it yourself

₹52 L+year one, gross

The sponsoring visa has a legal pay floor: AU$79,499 a year from July 2026, at ₹66 to the dollar. An employer cannot lawfully sponsor a nurse for less. The public award ladder runs to about AU$104,000 by year eight.

[V] Core Skills Income Threshold · Home Affairs
The visa

Asked by every family

The questions that matter.

Is a GNM enough, or do I need a BSc?+

Both qualify you. Germany assesses your file against its own training: if it finds gaps, you close them with a knowledge exam or a supervised adaptation course, not a second degree. Australia runs your file through ANMAC first. The call tells you which route reads your file better.

What do I earn while Germany checks my degree?+

€2,700 to 3,000 a month gross, working on the ward. That is the honest number for the recognition months. The full staff-nurse table opens when recognition completes. It is printed on this page because you deserve to plan on it.

When does my family come?+

Australia: on the visa file from day one, spouse working, children in school. Germany: from the staff-nurse permit, your spouse joins with no language test and full work rights. During the recognition phase the rules are tighter. Your advisor maps the exact dates before you pay anything.

What if I fail the language exam?+

You retake it, and training continues until the standard is met. The fee is tied to milestones, not to luck. Nobody flies before the standard is met, because arriving unprepared is how routes fail.

What does it cost?+

The fee depends on the route, and you hear it itemised, line by line, on the call and then in writing. 30% of it falls due only after you have both the job and the visa.
