Positioned as the world’s fourth and Europe’s largest economy, Germany is home to hundreds of thousands of Turks. According to Mikrozensus, at the end of 2022, approximately 1.3 million Turkish citizens lived in Germany and 1.53 million Turks became German citizens. In other words, 3 million people of Turkish origin live in Germany. According to the information Statista obtained from the European Union Statistics Office, 68.42% of the 1.9 million Turkish citizens living in Europe reside in Germany. This is followed by France, Austria and the Netherlands. LingoZet Founder Zehra Şentürk Yavuz, who says that the main reasons for immigration to Germany are career and education opportunities, economic stability, and welfare living standards, warns citizens by stating that there are many under the counter initiatives that provide consultancy services for immigration to Germany.
“THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT RECEIVE SERVICE FROM PROFESSIONAL COMPANIES ARE VICTIMS”
LingoZet Founder Zehra Şentürk Yavuz, who stated that she stepped into this sector to evaluate the knowledge she gained after living in Germany for many years, said: As a matter of fact, there are those who get caught in the trap of these underground attempts when they want to immigrate to Germany. The victims also share their problems with us. We strongly advise these people to take legal action. However, we also see that fraud is not the only problem in this regard. Information pollution on digital platforms has reached a high level. That’s why we strive to convey the most up-to-date and accurate information to people.”
“WE HELP THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTINUE THEIR CAREER IN GERMANY”
Zehra Şentürk Yavuz said, “As LingoZet, we offer consultancy services for professionals who want to go to Germany from Turkey to work. We carry out the processes in cooperation with our partners in many states of Germany. People who want to promote their diploma in Germany, who need a professional equivalency certificate, who want to do research within the scope of their profession, can apply to us. We provide guidance in the employment process for undergraduate and graduate graduates. We organize and follow up the vocational equivalence applications in Germany for vocational high school and associate degree graduates. We also guide those who want to start a business or invest in real estate in Germany through the institutions we work with.”
“WE DO NOT START PROCESS FOR CANDIDATES THAT WILL RECEIVE REFUND”
LingoZet Founder and Manager Zehra Şentürk Yavuz gave information about the immigration process to Germany and concluded her words as follows:
“We started this project before the Skilled Labor Immigration Act in Germany had come into force yet. With the end of the pandemic, we started to receive high demand. What distinguishes us from our competitors is that we have established an original, natural, principled, conscientious and empathy-oriented working system. For example, if our clients do not meet the criteria of the ‘Skilled Workforce Immigration Law’, we immediately warn them. We do not initiate proceedings for candidates who are likely to be rejected in their equivalence application. We pass this on to them. We prioritize working with suitable candidates, not with the number of our customers.”
