Hi,

Does anyone have some information about how to change from a non-working residence permit to a work permit? I arrived in Germany 2 months ago and presently, I do not have the right to work in Germany as I am here on a family reunion visa. I have a Masters' degree from Europe and a Bachelor's degree from India. Also, I am currently learning German actively. My question is that if I get a job contract with a salary higher than 45000 Euros, will I be able to apply for a Blue Card or a work permit? Also, does the company giving me the job have to prove that they did not find anybody suitable within the EU? 

If anyone has experience regarding the same or knows about the documents required to change from a non-working residence permit to Blue Card /work permit, please let me know about it. Thank you very much.

Cheers,
Hurricane.
