SPC John Hannon 7517816 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I found a job I had a decent shot at over in Germany. The company said I was disqualified for consideration as I didn’t have a SOFA sponsorship. Everything I’ve seen online leads me to believe the contracting company ought to be the ones to get me sponsorship should I be hired. I’m not DoD and I don’t have a spouse over there. Just a Vet trying to land a job abroad. Am I missing something about how to obtain a SOFA sponsorship? 2022-02-08T01:05:36-05:00 SPC John Hannon 7517816

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What is the SOFA agreement in Germany? The SOFA provides the basis for the legal status of military, U.S. civilian employees and dependents living in Germany on orders.<br /><br />It is not unusual to have jobs only open to people currently living in the country.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>What I am finding on Google states you would need a SOFA stamp in your passport and a SOFA certificate. What I found said &quot;to obtain a SOFA stamp, you should visit a U.S. military passport agent or office.&quot;
