No one has ever really explained it to you...

As a physiotherapist, you dream of building your career in Germany – but the path feels full of obstacles. Bureaucracy, language barriers, and unclear processes make it hard to turn your qualifications into a secure job.

It’s frustrating when you know what you can offer, but you’re unsure how to start the recognition process or which visa you need. Maybe you’ve even tried working with an agency, only to end up with more problems than solutions.

The truth is: it’s not about your skills. It’s about not having the right support and a clear plan to start your career in Germany.

Success Stories

Success stories from our candidates

Real physiotherapists, real success. See how our candidates have started their careers in Germany, landed their dream jobs, and achieved the professional freedom they’ve always wanted – all through our proven process.

The Problem

Nassim, an experienced physiotherapist from Algeria, already held a valid B2 German certificate and had many years of professional experience when he contacted Frese Recruiting GmbH. However, he had not yet started the recognition process and c planning to move to Germany with his family. During the recognition procedure, a major obstacle arose: his final diploma was not available, as only a provisional certificate had been issued in Algeria – even though he had graduated years earlier. This unexpected issue threatened to block both his recognition and visa process.

Solution

Frese Recruiting GmbH structured Nassim’s case from the ground up. We quickly placed him with a suitable employer and initiated the accelerated procedure for him and his family. We prepared all recognition documents together and worked closely with the authorities to resolve the diploma issue by providing official confirmations and additional explanations from the responsible institutions. At the same time, we ensured that all visa requirements were met for his family, prepared the entire visa process, and coordinated health insurance and administrative steps. Housing was organised in cooperation with the employer. 

Result

Despite the complex initial situation, Nassim successfully received his deficit notice and the preliminary approvals for both himself and his family. He entered Germany smoothly and is now completing his adaptation programme. Nassim is very satisfied with his employer, who highly values his professional skills. His family already holds valid visas and can join him at any time. With a clear plan for full recognition and continued support for family reunification, Nassim’s transition to life and work in Germany is secure and well on track.

The Problem

Öykü, a physiotherapist from Turkey, had already applied for the recognition of her qualifications in Germany. However, she received no feedback from the authorities in NRW for a long time. At the same time, her German skills were not yet sufficient to move forward confidently. The lack of progress and uncertainty around recognition, language requirements, and next steps made it difficult for her to plan her move to Germany.

Solution

Frese Recruiting stepped in and structured the entire process. We supported Öykü while she completed her German studies and successfully obtained her B1 certificate, which we were able to submit immediately without delaying the process. We prepared her for interviews and placed her with a well-known, reputable physiotherapy group in Germany. In addition, we were able to secure positions for both of her sisters in the same clinic, allowing them to start their careers in Germany together. We coordinated the accelerated procedure, guided all communication with the authorities, supported the visa process, and assisted with housing and all administrative steps after arrival.

Result

After around six months, Öykü received her visa without delays and successfully relocated to Germany. Despite an unexpected change in the employer’s legal structure after her arrival, we quickly resolved the issue with the immigration office so she could start working immediately. Today, Öykü and her sisters are employed at the same respected clinic in Germany and are fully settled. Their integration and recognition processes are progressing smoothly – with full security and professional support at every stage.

Jalila
Sterne

Ich habe mich sowohl bei der Arbeit als auch zu Hause sehr gut eingelebt. Ich danke Ihnen herzlich für Ihren Einsatz. Es freut mich sehr, meine Erfahrung mit Ihnen zu teilen. Ich habe Ihre Agentur bereits mehreren Kolleginnen und Kollegen in Tunesien weiterempfohlen.

The Problem

Jalila Snaidi, a physiotherapist from Tunisia, was already in a relatively strong position when she entered the process. She had found an employer on her own, held a valid B1 German certificate, and had already received her deficit notice. However, the main challenge was the immigration process itself. Due to long waiting times and limited visa appointment availability in Tunisia, her entry to Germany risked being significantly delayed, despite having all key requirements in place.

Solution

 Frese Recruiting GmbH took over the full coordination of Jalila’s process in close cooperation with her employer. After evaluating her situation, we initiated the accelerated procedure to significantly reduce waiting times. We handled communication with the authorities, secured the preliminary approval, and enabled her to book a visa appointment quickly. In parallel, we managed the housing search in a highly competitive rental market and successfully secured an apartment for her before her arrival. We ensured that all legal and administrative steps were aligned for a smooth transition.

Result

Thanks to the structured and proactive approach, Jalila was able to obtain her visa and enter Germany without unnecessary delays. She moved into her apartment before starting work and integrated smoothly into a large, reputable physiotherapy group. Jalila is currently completing her adaptation programme and is on track to finish it soon. With continued support for her professional license and residence permit adjustment, her path toward full recognition and long-term stability in Germany is clearly defined and secure.

EmrePlaybutton.
Sterne

Frese Recruiting hat mich von Anfang bis Ende des gesamten Prozesses begleitet, all meine Fragen geduldig beantwortet und mir geholfen, diese große Entscheidung mit voller Sicherheit zu treffen. Für Ihre Unterstützung bei allen Themen rund um das Leben in Deutschland, die notwendigen Unterlagen und die nächsten Schritte bedanke ich mich von Herzen. Ich bin wirklich glücklich, sie kennengelernt zu haben.

The Problem

Emre, a physiotherapist from Turkey, had taught himself German and was highly motivated to start his career in Germany. However, he felt completely overwhelmed by the complexity of the process. The recognition procedure, visa requirements, long waiting times in Turkey, and unclear responsibilities made it difficult for him to understand what steps were needed and in which order. Even after arriving in Germany, additional legal and administrative challenges arose that he was not prepared for.

Solution

Frese Recruiting GmbH guided Emre through the entire process with a clear, structured approach. We explained each step in detail, defined responsibilities, and ensured that both Emre and all involved authorities knew exactly what needed to be done. We supported him throughout the visa and recognition process, helped resolve unexpected legal issues related to his residence status, and provided continuous guidance after his arrival in Germany – including support with residence permits and employer-related administrative changes.

Result

Thanks to the professional and step-by-step support, Emre was able to navigate a complex and unfamiliar system with confidence. He successfully started working in Germany and now has a clear understanding of his legal and professional situation. Even during later changes, such as switching employers, Emre remains fully supported and secure. Today, he feels confident, well-informed, and supported at every stage of his career in Germany.

The Problem

Keivin, a talented physiotherapist from Albania, faced the challenge of finding his dream job in Germany. Uncertainty and a lack of trust in the many agencies he had contacted weighed on him. Keivin didn’t know who to trust, as many agencies made empty promises and offered no real support.

Solution

After meeting us in person in Albania, Frese Recruiting GmbH showed Keivin the right path. We helped him overcome all bureaucratic hurdles, guided him through the recognition of his qualifications, and led him safely through the visa process. We also supported him in finding housing and with his move to Germany, allowing him to focus entirely on his new job.

Result

Within just a few months, Keivin not only signed a contract with a respected physiotherapy clinic but also experienced the entire process as transparent and stress-free. Thanks to our personal and comprehensive support, he now feels confident and successful in his new life and job in Germany.

The Problem

Vidya, an experienced physiotherapist from India, had already tried to move to Germany through another agency. But she kept being let down with empty promises. The agency couldn’t offer her a suitable job or a clear plan for getting her qualifications recognised and securing a visa.

Solution

With Frese Recruiting GmbH, everything changed. We quickly placed Vidya in a respected physiotherapy clinic in Germany and guided her through the entire bureaucratic process. From the recognition of her qualifications to the visa application, housing search, and support with her arrival – we handled every challenge and cleared her path to Germany.

Result

Within just a few months, Vidya was able to start her career in Germany and now feels secure in her new environment and job. She not only signed a contract with a renowned clinic but also completed the entire integration process smoothly – thanks to the professional support of Frese Recruiting.

MassoudPlaybutton.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Frese Recruiting war sehr professionell und herzlich. Dank der tollen Unterstützung konnte ich erfolgreich als Physiotherapeutin in Deutschland starten.

The Problem

Massoud, originally from Iran and trained as a physiotherapist in Hungary, was already living within the EU when he planned his move to Germany. Although his partner had successfully found a job in Germany through Frese Recruiting GmbH, Massoud still lacked a clear path of his own. Without an accelerated procedure and with a standard recognition process that can take several months, he faced uncertainty regarding timelines, employer placement, housing, and the overall coordination of his move and professional recognition.

Solution

 Frese Recruiting GmbH supported Massoud step by step throughout the entire process. We successfully placed him with an employer in Germany, prepared him for interviews, and coordinated the standard recognition procedure. After receiving his deficit notice, we guided him through the visa preparation and entry process. We supported him with housing and closely accompanied him through his adaptation programme. Even before his final professional license was issued, we proactively secured a new employer for his next career step, ensuring a seamless transition without gaps.

Result

Massoud successfully completed his adaptation programme and he is now awaiting his official professional license and is fully prepared to start his next position together with his partner at a new clinic. With two successful job placements, continuous support with authorities, housing, and residence matters, Massoud’s professional journey in Germany is stable, well-structured, and set up for long-term success.

Fatima.Playbutton.

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Frese Recruiting war sowohl sehr professionell als auch menschlich. Ich habe mich in jedem Schritt gut begleitet und unterstützt gefühlt. Ich hatte volles Vertrauen in sie, und sie haben mich keinesfalls enttäuscht. Danke für eure Hilfe, die meinen Start in Deutschland viel leichter gemacht hat

The Problem

Fatima, an experienced physiotherapist with over six years of professional experience, was already well prepared when she contacted Frese Recruiting GmbH. She held a B2 German certificate, had all her documents translated, and spoke multiple languages fluently. However, despite her strong profile, she lacked a clear structure and professional guidance to ensure that her recognition process, employer placement, and visa application would run smoothly and without unnecessary delays.

Solution

Frese Recruiting GmbH reviewed and validated all of Fatima’s translated documents to ensure they met the strict requirements for recognition in Germany. We prepared her thoroughly for interviews and successfully placed her with a reputable physiotherapy clinic in Rhineland-Palatinate, where she signed her employment contract shortly after. We then initiated the recognition process without delay, coordinated the accelerated procedure, and supported her with housing in close cooperation with the employer. Throughout the entire process, we handled communication with authorities and guided her step by step.

Result

Within just a few months, Fatima received her official deficit notice and was able to enter Germany in November. She smoothly transitioned into her adaptation programme, which she started shortly after arrival. Today, Fatima is fully settled, satisfied with her work environment, and progressing confidently toward full recognition. With continuous support after arrival – from health insurance and bank account setup to local registration – her integration into professional and daily life in Germany is running seamlessly and successfully.

SibelPlaybutton.
Sterne

Die Zusammenarbeit mit Frese Recruiting war für mich eine große Unterstützung. Besonders bei meinem Anerkennungsprozess haben sie mir sehr geholfen und mich in jeder Phase zuverlässig begleitet. Ich bin sehr dankbar und wirklich zufrieden mit dem Ergebnis

The Problem

Sibel holds a German passport but grew up in Turkey and did not speak German fluently when she contacted Frese Recruiting GmbH. Although she was already living in Baden-Württemberg and had received her deficit notice, she was missing a crucial piece: a suitable employer willing to support her adaptation programme near her place of residence. Without the right placement and a clear next step, progressing toward full recognition remained uncertain.

Solution

 Frese Recruiting GmbH focused on securing the right employer match for Sibel. We quickly placed her with a physiotherapy clinic close to her current location, allowing her to remain in her familiar environment. We then ensured that she could start her adaptation programme as soon as possible and took care of the entire coordination process. In addition, we successfully arranged public funding for the adaptation programme through the Federal Employment Agency, so Sibel did not have to bear the costs herself.

Result

Sibel is now actively completing her adaptation programme and is fully integrated into her new workplace. She is satisfied with both her job and the structured support she received throughout the process. Once she completes the programme, we will continue to assist her in obtaining her professional license. Today, Sibel has a clear, secure path toward full recognition and a long-term career as a physiotherapist in Germany.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What requirements do I have to fulfill to be able to work in Germany?

Only two – and you can prepare both from home:

- German at B1 level or higher
- A completed training or degree in physiotherapy

That is it. Everything else, we take care of.

Document recognition, certified translations, the visa process, dealing with German authorities, finding an employer, your accommodation, your arrival – you do not have to figure any of this out on your own. That is our job, and we have done it for more than 600 physiotherapists already.

And if your German is not at B1 yet, that is not a dead end either. Just contact us and we will guide you through the process.

Can my family come with me?

Of course! We will also support you with bringing your family with you.

We will help you with all the necessary documents and procedures for your family.
You can choose if you want to bring your family directly with you or you can come alone first and your family comes to Germany after 3-6 months.

We want you to feel at home in Germany and that includes your family.

Can I choose where I want to work?

Of course, we will listen to your wishes and try to fulfill them. We work with first-class healthcare facilities all over Germany and will be happy to place you with a facility in your preferred region.

However, we cannot guarantee that you will find a job in your preferred region as we have no influence on the current staffing situation at the healthcare facilities but we always have a large selection of good employers that you can choose from.

What does a physiotherapist earn in Germany, and how much can I save?

Your salary comes in two phases.

While your qualification is being recognised, you already work in your profession and earn between €2,700 and €3,100 gross per month. This phase is temporary – it ends once the German authorities have completed your recognition.

Once you hold your German professional licence (Berufsurkunde), you are a fully recognised physiotherapist and your salary rises accordingly – around €3,000- €3,300 gross per month, depending on employer, experience and region. From there it keeps going: additional certifications such as manual therapy or lymphatic drainage are well paid in Germany and are the most reliable way to increase your income further.

Gross is not what arrives in your account – and it is worth understanding why. A large part of the difference goes into Germany's social security system: health insurance for you and your family, pension contributions, unemployment insurance and long-term care insurance. This is not money that disappears. Your medical treatment is covered, you keep receiving your salary when you are ill, you build up a pension for later, and you are protected if you lose your job. In many countries you would have to pay for all of this yourself, if it is available at all.

What remains is your net salary – typically around 65 to 70 percent of the gross figure, so roughly €2,000 per month from a €3,000 salary.

From that, our candidates tell us they are usually able to save around €1,000 a month, especially in the first years when many share a flat. A large part of that often goes home to their families.

How do I find an apartment?

We take care of it. Everyone lives differently, so we start by understanding what matters to you – a room in a shared flat or your own apartment, how close to work, what fits your budget. From there, we run the search for you: we look for suitable places, prepare all the documents landlords ask for, handle the communication with them and go through the rental contract with you before you sign anything.

You are never left to navigate the German housing market on your own.Your employer supports us in this, because practices know their local market and often have contacts that make a real difference. Between us, we aim to have your accommodation arranged before you arrive – not after.

For the first months, a furnished room or a shared flat is usually the easiest start. Once you have arrived and found your feet, moving into your own place is far simpler – and we are still there when you do.

Why should physiotherapists work with Frese Recruiting?

Because we do one thing, and we do it better than anyone else.

We are not a general recruitment agency that happens to place physiotherapists. Physiotherapy is our specialisation – it is all we do. More than 600 physiotherapists have started their career in Germany with us, from over ten countries. No other agency in this field placed near as many physiotherapists in Germany.

That experience is what you benefit from. We know exactly which documents the authorities ask for and which mistakes cost people months. We know what German practices expect from a new colleague, and we know what surprises people in their first weeks on the job. Nothing about your process is new to us – which means it does not have to be difficult for you.

And we do not disappear once you land. We support you through the entire process: recognition of your qualification, visa, language training, your job, your accommodation – and afterwards, when you are already in Germany and settling in. You have a contact person the whole way.

Start your career in Germany with a structured process that clears the way for you – fast and hassle - free.
