How I got a Job Seeker Visa in Germany

<p>The Job Seeker Visa (<em>Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Arbeitsplatzsuche f&uuml;r qualifizierte Fachkr&auml;fte</em>) is a way for qualified applicants to stay in Germany for an additional 6 months while they search for work. Eligible applicants have a bachelor&rsquo;s degree from an accredited university, 5 years of work experience, and a valid passport. Turn up in Germany on a tourist visa, fill out the paperwork specified by the Ausl&auml;nderbeh&ouml;rde (<em>foreigner&rsquo;s office</em>), and voila! One short-term residence permit for you.</p> <p>I started on the path to a Job Seeker Visa in the fall of 2018 and was accepted in December 2018. I poured over every resource I could find online and talked to several visa experts before compiling this guide.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@katieferderer/how-i-got-a-job-seeker-visa-in-germany-71f073fe0e52"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
