Categories of Work Permits in Germany
–
To be allowed to live and work in Germany legally, you must have a German work and residence permit.
You don’t have to apply for a German work permit separately from a residence permit; you get them both through a single application at the Ausländerbehörde (that’s the German Immigration Authority Office).
There are different types of German work permits and they depend on your qualifications and employment type:
- first of all there is the General Work Permit – You can apply for this type if you have found a job in Germany which could not have been filled by an EU national. You don’t need to have special skills as long as you are qualified for the job.
- secondly there is the Highly Skilled Worker Permit – You can apply for this type of if you are a highly skilled worker with a lot of experience and a high income.
- then there is The EU Blue Card – You can apply for an EU Blue Card if your salary will be at least €56,800 per year or €44,304 per year if you are in a shortage occupation.
- and lastly you can get a Work Permit for Freelancers – You can apply for this type of permit if you are a freelancer and if you can prove you have prospective clients.
