Suitcase, train station, ...

One of the questions that students and their parents ask at the preparation stage is the prospect of staying on. It is possible to obtain a work visa after studies if the job vacancy matches the education obtained. Depending on the salary, it is possible to obtain either a residence permit for work or a Blue Card.

Some students sign a work contract even before they graduate and their student residence permit expires (! the student residence permit becomes invalid upon graduation/dropout). But even for those who find it a bit more difficult to find a job in their field, Germany has a solution. Residence permit for job search for 18 months.
