Finding Part-Time Jobs in Germany:

More than 60% of international students do some kind of part-time job to manage their expenses in Germany. Germany, in comparison to other developed countries, is cheaper. You still need to compensate for your living with hourly-based part-time work. 

The German government has given the benefit to students to work 120 days full time or 240 days half-time in a year. Here is a list of what you are permitted to do. 

  • Students must be of 18 years or above. 
  • International students can work full time during their holidays. 
  • If you are working as a resource assistant or student assistant, it will not count in your limits. 
  • Students can do extra hours if the job is very crucial and necessary. 
  • Unpaid internships are also counted in 120 days work permit. 
  • Non-EU students cannot work as freelancers or be self employed. 
  • Students looking for more than 120 days’ work must have a return permission from the foreigners registration office and local employment agency. 
  • Universities promote the idea of working in the same industry as your studies to create a work experience. 

Do This to Find Part-Time Jobs:  

  • Connect with professors & find some references. 
  • Search through online platforms and offline work searches. 
  • The university bulletin board is a good place to search for jobs. Here you may get employers with more flexible hours of working. 
  • Don’t miss out on university career centres. 
  • Consider talking to friends & fellow students as well. 

Note – Spouses are given the same status as students. So they can also get into part-time jobs as well.

Germany Post-Study Work Permits: 

International students who complete their education in Germany can apply for a post-study work visa. This visa is sanctioned for a period beyond the duration of your studies. After the post-study work visa, an 18-month job-seeker visa will be allotted. If your employer allows you to continue working, the work visa is extendable depending on the tenure.

International students can apply for an extension to their Visa, called an 18-month seeker visa. The visa can be extended as per the tenure if your employers allow you to continue working. 

Students may get a resident permit as well if the part-time job allows their subsistence. Those who have resident permits can apply for a ‘Settlement Permit’ after 2 years of permanent resident permit or EU Blue Card.

I am truly grateful to the team at Adwings Immigration, especially Divya and Nirupama, for their excellent guidance and support throughout my skills assessment process. At a time when many others felt that I should not proceed with the skills assessment, they were among the few who believed that I could achieve a positive outcome. Their confidence, clear guidance, and accurate advice gave me the reassurance to move forward. A special thanks to Divya and Nirupama for being supportive, professional, and honest throughout the process. Their advice was always practical and well-informed, and I really appreciate the effort they put into helping me with my case. I would definitely recommend Adwings Immigration to anyone looking for genuine and reliable immigration guidance.

I had a wonderful experience with the team. The service has been truly outstanding, and I genuinely appreciate the effort and professionalism everyone puts into their work. A special thanks to Divya and Nirupama, and of course, to the entire team who are doing an amazing job. I was honestly a little sceptical in the beginning, especially when it came to the trust factor, but Nirupama’s professionalism, patience, and consistent support completely changed my perspective. It’s rare to come across people who genuinely care about their clients and go the extra mile to make things smooth and comfortable. Keep up the fantastic work, guys! Love you all, and wishing the entire team continued success! ❤️
