Do I need a visa to visit Germany for a few days if I have US Green Card and am in UK on a 1-year student visa
Would I need a visa to visit Germany for a few days if I have a US green card (permanent resident) and am currently in the UK on a 1-year student visa? My citizenship is Russian. On the US immigration site it says : "A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed." And the only rights citizens have that green card holders do not is voting and working some particular jobs. On the German embassy site it says US citizens do not need a visa to enter if their stay is less than 3 months. Does anyone know for sure? Thank you beforehand

Having a green card is not like being a US citizen. You are still considered as a risk when countries like Germany, France, UK, Australia and some other European countries consider you for entry. They do not allow you the same way they would allow a US citizen.
2 :
The key is whether you are a US citizen, which you are not. you would still need a Schengen visa to visit EU countries outside UK. Green card relates to your visa status in the US, which is irrelevant.

Here is something I found on a web site of the University of Marburg: "Participants of a language course and foreign applicants to the university who are not yet accepted will under no circumstances get a work permit." If you are a citizen of a EU (European Union) country this rule does not apply to you.
2 :
Ask your local German Embassy, perhaps they give you for this time a work visa.
3 :
If you are EU citizen you can get a work permit. If you are a non EU citizen you will not get a work permit it would require a different visa to get it.

HI, if you want to stay for more than 3 months in Germany and are not an EU citizen, you will need a student visa. Prerequsite is that you have been accepted to study at a German high school or university. With a student visa you are allowed to work only inside the campus, special rules apply. http://www.inside-munich.com/germany-work-student-visa.html

Yes you would need a work permit if you plan to work in Germany for a company UNLESS it is a transfer with an already American company there or you just do private work as I did with tutoring English to Germans preparing for exams and such really helped me out when i was there for 4 months once. You just have to be careful though, too much business and you will get noticed and then you will need to have permits or face a fine & or jail or deportation possibly. Not worth that hassle. SO bring as much as you can with you & have avail in a bank, you can access your account via their Geldomatics (ATM machines) if your card has a Visa or MC symbol on it. Banks will also allow you to take money out on your card. You will get a fee no matter which way you do it. I find using Travellers checks to be too costly after the fees just for conversion and seeing the Dollar is so weak against the Euro. I miss the day when the Dollar was worth 1.8 DM's now you do not even get an even par exchange, you lose in the conversion and then with the fee. So to earn money is possible with out a permit but it is really NOT recommended for the fines and trouble you could get in. The only way in without them would be in the Military or with an American company or even a German company that hire you but good luck with that!! Unemployment is not so hot there so they will give a Job to a German first I would hope to a foreigner no offense. Same as here in the States, id rather see jobs go to locals than out siders. Anyways. Four months will go by fast. You can make a quick Euro or so here by tutoring or maybe at a Doener Kebab stand lol so get your German speach down well and apply for a work permit if you are positive you are going to have to work for it is not worth the risk in my opinion. Laws were more relaxed when I did it in 1992. Take Hilmar's advice, he is a Local and knows the laws and is a great interperer!

No, you need to have a working permit and a residency permit, which you can apply for at the local city hall. Unless you can find someone that will hire you and pay you under the table. Or you could try to get a job maybe working for AAFES at a military base, if you are close to one.

hallo..nein leider, dürfen Sie nicht arbeiten if you dont have working permit....

What do you think? Of course not.

working in germany as a US citizen & student?
working in germany as a US citizen & student?
My niece is 18 and has been living in germany for a few years with her family. She's a student now and I think has a student visa. Can she work part-time with this visa? Also, could she qualify to get German citizenship after living there a certain number of years? If she did, could she have dual US/German citizenship? Thanks for your help!

She will have to check with the German government to see if her particular visa allows her to work. When I studied in Germany, I was not allowed to work on the visa I had As for dual citizenship, Germany does not recognize dual citizenship. She would have to renounce her US citizenship before she could become a German citizen

How many hours per week can an international student work in Germany?

Not hours a week, exchange students get 90 working days for the duration of their studies in Germany. If you were an international degree-seeking student, going to get your degree there you could get up to 20 hours per week, but exchange students only get the 90 working days, and there is probably an hour limit in there somewhere as well. You will have to speak German near fluently to work there, unless you are tutoring English or something like that. Business have to do a load of paperwork to hire international students, and most will not mess with it.
