IT jobs in Europe
European companies hire software engineers, data specialists and IT support staff from Asia every year. Here are the main countries, the visas that apply and how to get hired.
Where are the IT jobs?
- Germany: the largest market, with many English-speaking teams in Berlin, Munich and Hamburg.
- Netherlands: strong demand and English-friendly workplaces, with a highly skilled migrant route.
- Poland, Estonia, Lithuania: growing tech hubs and lower living costs.
- Ireland: many international tech companies, with its own critical skills employment permit.
Which visa do IT professionals use?
Most use the EU Blue Card, which needs a degree or, in Germany, at least three years of relevant IT experience within the last seven years, plus a salary above the yearly threshold (€45,934.20 for IT in Germany in 2026). If you don't have an offer yet, Germany's Opportunity Card lets you search from inside Germany.
How to get hired
- Write a one- or two-page CV in European format: skills, projects and results, no photo needed unless asked.
- Build a public portfolio: GitHub, personal projects or certifications (cloud, security, data).
- Apply on LinkedIn, company career pages and the EU's EURES portal; many IT employers sponsor visas.
- Prepare for online coding tests and video interviews.
- Learning basic German, Dutch or Polish improves your chances, even for English-speaking teams.
