The European Union's Blue Card initiative is implemented by the 25 countries of the Europe. The technology sector, healthcare industry, Science and other sectors attract huge number of skilled professionals. The basic criteria that make a valid visa holder are salary more than one and half times of the national average. The flexibility is that there is no average wage; every European Union has its national average salary.

Germany issues Blue Card to highly skilled professionals whose salary is more than 1.5 times of the national average. Notably, in the case of the shortage of occupations in specific areas such as Doctors, Engineers, Mathematicians, the salary threshold is reduced to 1.2 times.

The Blue Card initiative welcomes highly specialized individuals who can drive the economy. Germany has the lowest salary in the entire European Union. Germany's plan is to attract people who are highly qualified by minimizing the salary cap. The move is also to help some international students settle in the Germany. Following the Germany's initiative, other European Union countries are also reducing the salary threshold for attracting the highly qualified individuals from the global pool of talent.

The European Union’s skilled migration program served the purpose of the migrants willing to work in the European Union countries. Language is no more a hindrance, as people are learning new ways to adapt to the European conditions.

Europe is always a better place for skilled immigrants, the skilled immigrants can move freely within the European countries. There are border controls in the European Union. People can easily move and they have flexibility to change to any nation, after 18 months of stay in a country with the European Union Blue Card.
