Deutschstudent

After concluding your studies in Germany, as a student from a non-EU country you are allowed to remain in Germany for the purpose of looking for employment for a maximum of 18 months after the end of your studies. This is your chance to gain a foothold in the German job market as an international graduate. Your advantage during this period of job hunting is that you are allowed to work as much as you like.

Any time restrictions on working during this job-hunting phase have been removed due
to the new Right of Residence regulation.

In order to receive a residence permit for this period, you have to demonstrate that you can cover your costs of living for this period.
