The State Agency for the Immigration of Skilled Workers (LZF) has been active in Baden-Württemberg since 1 April. The new authority is intended to facilitate the immigration of skilled workers and strengthen Baden-Württemberg as a business location by serving as a central point of contact for companies.

Specifically, it is about digitised processing of applications, central processing of all accelerated expert procedures and faster professional recognition. The authorities are also to support employers in improving the welcoming culture, i.e. the support provided after arrival in the country.
