Who is Eligible to Apply?
Working in Germany as a housekeeper is considered a skilled job. Therefore, specific educational and professional backgrounds are mandatory:
-
Educational Background: You must hold a Bachelor’s in Hotel Management, a 3-year Diploma in Hotel Management, or a degree in Hospitality Management.
-
University Recognition: Your degree must be from a college or university that falls under the H+ category (nationally recognized/compatible with German standards).
-
Professional Experience: Ideally, you should have at least one year of experience. Whether you are currently working in India, the Gulf countries, Maldives, Malaysia, or Singapore, you are eligible to apply if you meet the criteria.
-
Language Skills: For the housekeeping role, German language is not mandatory for the initial application. However, you should have an interest in learning it. Knowing German will make your daily communication with staff and guests much easier.
Salary and Working Hours
One of the most attractive parts of working in Germany is the earning potential:
-
Hourly Rate: On average, you can earn between €12 and €14 per hour.
-
Monthly Earnings: This works out to an average monthly salary of €2,200 to €2,600.
-
Standard Schedule: The standard working week is 40 hours (5 days a week).
-
Overtime Potential: If you choose to work extra hours or on your days off, you could potentially earn up to €3,000 or €3,500 per month. It all depends on your schedule and dedication.
Accommodation and Food
Since this is the hotel industry, housing and meals are handled as follows:
-
Food: Usually, if the hotel provides meals to its staff, you will be included.
-
Housing: Most hotels will provide or help you find accommodation. While some might offer it for free, most will charge a minimal rent ranging from €150 to €300.
Long-term Benefits and Family
Many applicants ask about moving with their families. Here is the path we recommend:
-
Family Reunion: We suggest moving to Germany alone first. After working for at least one year and discussing it with your employer, you can apply for a Family Reunion or Dependent Visa for your spouse or parents.
-
Permanent Residency (PR): If you work in Germany for more than 3 years, you become eligible to apply for Permanent Residency, allowing for long-term settlement.
-
Schengen Access: Since Germany is part of the Schengen zone, your visa allows you visa-free travel to all other European Schengen countries.
