The German government is hiring at least 600 Filipino registered nurses to fill the shortage in the health workforce, the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) announced on Thursday, Sept. 8.

The advisory says, “no placement fee” is required with a starting monthly salary of €2,300 or equivalent to P132,410 for the starters, and €2,800 equates to P161,195 for the duly recognized qualified nurse by the German government.
“Translation of recognition documents and certification will be paid by the employer including the medical checks. Bonus payment for passing the A2 and B2 of €250 (each level or its PESO equivalent) in the first take,” the advisory read.
For documentation and processing, the DMW said the employer will pay for the visa and airfare from the Philippines to Germany and will organize and assist the employee in finding suitable accommodation.
