  • New regulation § 22 allows eSports as a professional competition for foreign players.
  • Minimum age for applicants is 16 years.
  • Associations must pay a gross salary that corresponds to 50% of the contribution assessment ceiling for pension insurance.

The German esports visa is coming: From spring 2020, professional esports men from third countries will be subject to simplified conditions for permanent residence in the Federal Republic of Germany. Today, the Bundesrat approved the corresponding amendments to the Employment Ordinance, after the federal government had already passed the bill in November (see this post).
