Aseef The recognition process can cost up to €600. The recognition procedure checks whether your professional qualification can be recognised. Professional qualifications are, for example Vocational qualification, further vocational education and training. You can find all the information here: https://www.anerkennung-in-deutschland.de/html/en/faq.php
I think you have a better chance of getting a job if your qualification is already recognised, but you can try to contact companies and write that you are waiting for recognition. Let me know if you have any further questions. Best Barbara

Barbara (Community Manager) that means if my education is recognized in Pakistan then for apply visa we don't need recognition of education from Germany?
We can get recognition after landing in Germany?
Am I right?

For this my employer have to mention that in my job contract?

Is language is mandatory for Germany employment visa?

If German language is not mandatory by company then company have to mention language is exempt for my Jobe role in my job contract?

I'll be thankful for your valuable time and response.

Aseef Yes, if your education is recognised in Pakistan, you can apply for recognition after landing in Germany. To apply for a visa for employment within the framework of a recognition partnership, you will need a work contract and you must speak German to at least A2 level.
