Just moved to Berlin, no degree. The federal employment agency had to give approval after the contract was signed, which took about 2-3 weeks. Working visa issued after 3 days. HR shouldn't be scared, it's easy and pretty straightforward.

Could you give a bit more background to this? E.g. moved from where, what is your experience level, salary range maybe?

The general advice seems to be that a university degree is almost always required. Having another data point would be helpful!

You can "replace" the degree with sufficient professional experience, at least for Germany. Ideally you've got several years.
