You qualify with a higher education qualification of at least three years, or with significant high-level professional experience (generally five years, or three years in ICT).
The EU Blue Card targets highly qualified professionals, so the qualification test is central. You can meet it with a university or tertiary qualification certifying completion of a higher education course of at least three years, paired with a suitable job offer.
Alternatively, you can qualify through professional experience: typically several years of high-level experience in your field, with a shorter requirement recognised for the ICT sector. You also need a genuine work contract or binding job offer at the required skill and salary level. Confirming which pathway fits your background early helps you gather the right evidence.
