A Filipino registered nurse can work in Germany by completing three steps: reaching German language level B1 or B2, obtaining recognition of the Philippine nursing qualification (Anerkennung) from the responsible German state authority, and securing a work visa through the Skilled Immigration Act. Roger Care guides nurses through all three and matches them with a sponsoring German hospital.

Yes. Creating a profile and applying through Roger Care is free for Filipino nurses. German hospitals pay for placement services, and recruitment follows ethical, DMW-aligned standards. We never charge placement fees to a nurse.

Most German states require nursing professionals to reach Goethe-certified level B1 to begin and B2 for full registration. Roger Care includes a structured language pathway so you can reach B2 before you relocate.

The typical timeline from first application to starting work in Germany is six to twelve months. The biggest variables are how quickly you progress in German and how fast qualification recognition and the visa are processed.

Anerkennung is the German process of officially recognizing a foreign qualification. For nurses, it confirms that a Philippine nursing qualification is equivalent to the German standard, which is required for full registration and the standard pay scale.

Yes. Once your qualification is recognized, you are paid on the same scale as any other registered nurse at that employer. Roger Care only works with hospitals that offer transparent, equal pay.

In many cases yes. The Skilled Immigration Act includes routes for family reunification. The exact conditions depend on your contract, income, and housing, and your advisor will explain what applies to you.

Roger Care gives German hospitals access to a database of pre-vetted Filipino nurses whose credentials, language progress, and recognition status are verified. Hospitals review matched candidates, interview the ones they like, and receive support with recognition paperwork, visas, and onboarding.
