Note: You must apply for funding BEFORE submitting an application for recognition to the Bavarian State Office of Nursing.

The following options are available for funding:

• Person abroad (third country): There is no possibility for funding. The costs must be paid by yourself or by the employer or the agency.
• Person abroad in the EU: Various costs may be covered (e.g. recognition fee, translations, relocation). Please contact EURES for more information. ZAV can advise you on this.
• Person in the country: There is the possibility that the Federal Employment Agency pays the costs. It pays if you are registered as unemployed or looking for work.
• If no funding from the Federal Employment Agency is possible and other requirements are met: There are two federal funding options:
  • Recognition grant (costs for the recognition procedure up to max. 600 €)
  • Qualification grant (costs for the adaptation measures)
