The longest item on anybody's list. It decides your start date more than the visa does.

German at B1 or B2 is the hard requirement here. Ausbildung is taught and worked entirely in German.
Where this sits in the country's own official shortage analysis.
Whether the country is taking new applicants from overseas right now.
If recognition is required by law, you cannot work in the job until it is finished.

Start to arrival, as the official timeline note states it. Not the visa stamp alone.
