9months
ZAV pre-approval
Valid from issue. The visa has to be granted within that time.
12months

The longest the exam may lie back at the visa application. For modular exams the oldest module counts.

Passport
How long the passport should stay valid after the appointment. The embassy does not require it.
One fixed price. And your money back if it does not work out.
€2,500per apprentice, plus VAT
Due with your offer. The same for every occupation. No subscription, no fee for job postings.
Money back
If the position cannot be filled for reasons beyond your control, AzubiWay refunds the full amount. For example if the visa is refused, the Federal Employment Agency does not approve or the apprentice drops out before arrival.
Not included
Official fees, translations, the visa fee and, if needed, the blocked account. They are paid directly to each body.
Your offer is binding. If you end the procedure yourself, there is no refund. Details in the terms (in German).
Using AzubiWay is free.
Sign up, post your positions, browse applicants and watch their introduction videos, all at no cost. A one-off fee is due only when you make an offer to an apprentice. And if it then falls through for reasons outside your control, you get it back.
