❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q1: Can I apply for both the Germany and Spain visas at the same time?
A: It is not recommended, as it shows unclear intent and can lead to refusals from both consulates. Choose one path that matches your primary goal.

Q2: I have a remote job. Can I use the Germany Opportunity Card?
A: The Opportunity Card is designed for job seekers. While you can use your remote income to show financial means, your primary intent must be to search for a local German job. The Spain Digital Nomad Visa is the better fit for pure remote workers.

Q3: What is the single biggest mistake applicants make?
A: Using the same set of documents for both visas. For Spain, you must prove your remote employment. For Germany, you must prove your qualifications and job search plan. Submitting the wrong proof leads to instant rejection.

Q4: Is the Germany Opportunity Card a work visa?
A: Not initially. It is a preliminary residence permit for qualified job seekers. It allows you to work part-time during your search. Once you find a qualified full-time job, you convert it into a standard EU Blue Card or German Work Visa.
