Those looking for work can move to Germany with a Job Seeker Visa, which gives them up to six months to search for relevant employment.
Moving to Germany for work when you don’t even have a job can be a nightmare. But it is possible to travel to Germany without a job. And it is simpler for EU citizens as they don’t need to get a visa or any kind of permission.
If you are from Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, South Korea, New Zealand or the USA, you do not need a work visa to enter Germany, nor do you need to have a job offer prior to entering Germany.
Officially there is no age limit for Job Seeker Visa Application.
Germany has the largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world, so there are plenty of jobs in Germany for foreigners with specialist skills, although casual work is also fairly easy to come by.
Compared to some other European countries, Germany is not very expensive. The costs of food, housing, clothing and cultural activities are slightly higher than the EU average. On average, students in Germany spend around 850 euros per month on living costs. The largest expense is rent.
Anyone who finds employment in Germany can apply for a German work permit, but the application process and requirements differ depending on where you come from.
One of the prerequisites for obtaining a visa for job seekers is proof of sufficient funds of the job seeker’s entire stay in Germany. In any case it must be ensured that you have a minimum monthly amount of 720,- EUR available.
You can do the job without speaking German, but a good command of English or a basic level of German might be very helpful.
How to Apply for a German Job Seeker visa, you must follow these steps:
-
-
- Complete the German job seeker visa application form.
- Make a visa appointment.
- Collect the required documents for the Job seeker visa.
- Attend the interview at the German Embassy/Consulate.
- Pay the job seeker visa fees.
-
Visa processing will generally take 2 to 4 weeks from the date you submitted your application. As approval is not guaranteed, do not book flights until your Job Seekers Visa has been approved.

Indeed, individuals can explore opportunities in Germany without a job offer through the Job Seeker Visa program. This initiative, spearheaded by the German government, aims to attract skilled workers by granting them the chance to enter Germany, seek employment, and contribute to the workforce. Under this visa, applicants are provided with a six-month window to actively search for suitable employment opportunities. If, unfortunately, a job is not secured within this timeframe, individuals are required to return to their home country. However, with determination and perseverance, there’s optimism that a job will be secured within the allocated six months. For any guidance with the visa or immigration process, you can check with Germany Immigration Consultants.
