00:00Which EU country is the most eager to welcome foreign talent?
00:09Let's talk about the EU blue card, a golden ticket for highly skilled professionals from countries outside the bloc.
00:17Each year, EU countries hand out thousands of these permits, according to the latest figures, 89,000.
00:26So who is snapping them up? Indians lead the pack with 21,000 cards, almost a quarter of the total, followed by Russians, Turks and Belarusians.
00:38Across the EU, Germany alone issued a staggering 78% of these permits, way more than second-placed Poland and third-placed France.
00:50At the same time, Denmark and Ireland are the only countries that do not issue blue cards at all.
00:56How do people qualify for one? It requires either a university degree or three years of relevant work experience in the field related to the application.
01:07The good news is there are no language requirements.
01:10The blue card also guarantees a minimum salary, even in countries without a statutory minimum wage, like Italy, Sweden, Austria and Finland.
01:20Thresholds vary widely, from a maximum of around 68,000 euros in the Netherlands to just over 16,000 euros in Bulgaria.
