Digital Migration Management System
What is proceda?
A skilled-worker pathway is rarely one process. Profession, qualification, recognition, documents, employer, residence route and authorities depend on each other, but they are experienced separately. proceda holds those dependencies in one structure.
proceda App supports preparation and orientation. Official decisions rest with the competent authorities.
What the system holds together
- Profession
- Qualification and recognition
- Documents and their states
- Residence pathway
- the order between them
The last line is the actual work. Each of the others is available somewhere; how they depend on each other is not.
One journey, many separate systems
The information exists. The connection between it does not.
Official sources describe recognition, residence pathways and requirements thoroughly, each within its own remit. What no single source can describe is the sequence in one individual case: which step blocks which, what has to start early, what is still open.
-
Each source answers its own question
A recognition authority answers about recognition, a mission abroad about the visa procedure. Neither is responsible for the other.
-
Answers depend on each other
The profession decides whether recognition applies; recognition decides which documents are needed; the documents decide when an application is possible.
-
The order is what gets lost
Most delays come from a step that was started too late, or too early, before the step it depends on was settled.
proceda does not add information. It holds the dependencies between existing information.

This page sits before the first station. It explains the system, not a step within it. Dashed from stage six onward: preparation ends where an application can be submitted. See the complete journey.
Six separate answers, one file
Each line below is an answer that already exists somewhere. What the platform adds is the line after it, what that answer changes for everything else.
- 01 Profession Defines whether recognition applies at all, and therefore what the rest of the file has to contain.
- 02 Qualification Determines which comparison is even possible, and which evidence carries weight in it.
- 03 Recognition Its state decides which documents are needed, in which form, and for which institution.
- 04 Documents Their states decide when an application can be submitted, and what has to start early.
- 05 Residence pathway Decides which of the existing evidence is needed again, in another form, for another body.
- 06 Readiness Nothing open that the applicant can close. From there the institution takes over.
Six answers, each changing the others. That is what a system does that a list cannot.
Platform explorer
Pick a domain and see what it depends on
Six domains. Each one shows what it needs before it, what it changes after it, and which module carries it in the proceda App. No product tour, no screenshots, the dependencies themselves.
Domains
Profession
Everything else hangs on this one
The German profession decides whether a recognition procedure belongs to the case, which institution is responsible and which residence routes come into view at all. Without it every step above stays open.
Needs to be settled first
- what was actually done professionally
- which German profession corresponds to it
Changes afterwards
- whether recognition applies
- which institution is responsible
- which residence routes are relevant
In the proceda App: Process Check orders the profile; Diploma Check places the qualification.

Six layers, one file
The system is built in layers, and each layer only makes sense with the one below it. That is why an answer higher up changes what is required further down.
-
Identity
Who you are, and in which form each institution needs that established.
-
Profession
The German profession the case is about. Everything above this layer depends on it.
-
Qualification
Content, duration and practical share, what a comparison actually works with.
-
Procedure
Recognition, employment, residence, which of them applies, and which institution receives the file.
-
Evidence
Every document with its state and its form, complete, readable, translated, assigned, current.
-
Order and readiness
Which step depends on which, what has a long lead time, and how far the file is from Antragsreife.
Answer a question on one layer and the layers above it change. That is the whole idea.
Six modules on one file
The modules are not separate apps. They are views onto the same file, each answering the question its layer is responsible for.
-
Process Check
orders your profile and shows which procedural path actually fits
-
Diploma Check
places the qualification and the issuing institution in the German context
-
Visa Finder
compares residence routes against the profile and shows which can be relevant
-
Document Management
holds every document with its state, its form and the body it belongs to
-
Path Agenda
puts the steps in an order that respects their dependencies and lead times
-
Readiness Status
shows how far the file is prepared and what is genuinely still open
One file, six views. An answer entered in one module is available in all of them.
What a platform can do, and what it must not claim
proceda App does
- hold the dependencies between the steps of one file
- show which question is open and which unlocks the most
- record the form each receiving institution expects
- keep the picture current when one detail changes
Only the institutions decide
- whether a qualification is equivalent
- whether a residence title is granted
- which documents are required, and in which form
- the outcome of every procedure

Where to enter the system
Most people start with the profession in German profession equivalent, with the procedure in the recognition process, or with the residence question in the Visa Finder. Any of the three fills the same file.
Documents and residence
Continue in proceda
One file instead of seven open tabs
Start wherever you are, the profession, the qualification or the residence question. Everything you answer stays in one place, and every other step is measured against it.
