What is the Job Seeker Visa?

Job Seeker Visa is a temporary work permit issued to highly qualified candidates who would like to work in Germany. This means that you can enter Germany without having a job and then apply for jobs. Once you find a job, you can convert the visa to a longer term residence permit.

This visa cannot be extended. If at the end of 6 months you cannot find a job, you must return to your country. You cannot work as self employed with this visa.
