The EU blue card is a term you must have come across once or twice in your search for the best immigration destination.<\/p>\n

The EU blue card is a work permit issued in the European Union which allows qualified workers with an educational degree from outside the region live and work in the countries which issue it.<\/p>\n

The proposal for the EU blue card was first made in 2007 and it was meant to mitigate a future lack of labour and skills in the EU given the aging population as well as streamline mobility\u00a0 for workers who come from outside the EU .<\/p>\n

It was called the Blue Card as it is meant to be the EU’s answer to the American issued Green card.<\/p>\n

Supporting legislation for the blue card was passed mid-2009 and the blue cards are currently issued by 25 out of 27 member states of the Union with the exception of Denmark and Ireland<\/p>\n

Countries which adopted and issue the Blue Card are follows: Austria<\/a>, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany<\/a>, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.<\/p>\n
