EU Blue card visa question

asela28sl
#1
Hello there,
   I created the profile on this website

https://www.apply.eu/BlueCard/ 

They ask to verify my education and experience by paying 26 EURO. Once I paid the amount, I could submit the EU blue card application.

Did anyone try this platform to get the EU blue card? Is this the legal way to initiate the process?

Thanks for the reply. 😊

The site is not a legitimate one, so personally, I would not use it.

hi, that's not how we apply for the blue card visa? I thought it was a government organization.

As you are a non-EU citizen and work in Information & Tech systems, D2 or D3 visa may be a good option:
