Japa: Over 770,000 Job Vacancies For Grab As Germany Eases Visa Regulations For International Students Seeking Employment

Germany has implemented new visa regulations that allow international students to work before starting their studies, making it an attractive destination for students from lower-income families.

The new skilled worker law, which came into effect in March, enables foreign students to work during their studies, aiming to attract more skilled workers to Germany.

Under the new law, international students can work from 120 to 140 full days per year or 280 half-days per year.

This change is especially beneficial for students from lower-income backgrounds. Additionally, the law provides advantages for apprenticeship applicants and graduates.

Those who want to complete an apprenticeship in Germany can work up to 20 hours per week before and after starting their training.

Furthermore, non-EU citizens who have graduated from a German university can stay up to 18 months after graduation to find a job and apply for permanent residency with two years of work experience.

Germany currently has over 770,000 job vacancies across various fields, including horticulture, wood, metalworking, and technical fields.
