India-Germany

Challenge

A Chennai-based IT services company (ERP implementation, SAP consulting) had a EUR 4M contract with a German manufacturing group requiring on-site consultants in Germany. They had been using short-term business visitor visas (90 days in 180) but EU clients required longer on-site engagement. The EU Blue Card was identified as the appropriate mechanism but the company had limited experience with German work permit applications.

Outcome

7 of 8 Blue Card applications approved within 12 weeks. 1 application required additional qualification documentation — approved at week 18. Blue Card validity: 4 years with EU mobility rights after 18 months. On-site delivery capacity in Germany increased from 4 to 11 consultants. EU contract extended from EUR 4M to EUR 6.5M based on expanded delivery capacity.
