What steps(burocratic) should a US Citizen take to establish himself in Germany (As a student and worker)?
I am going to Germany in January(am a US Citizen). I am looking to relocate and be a student of a german university and get a part time job. Is this illegal for me to do as US Citizen or do I need some paperwork? Looking T Maia 2000 to help me out here or anyone else. Stuff like registering with authorites and stuff. About how much funds would I need to show some financial wellbeing ,if not, i have heard of somehthing like having someone like friends or family to vouch for me somehow.Thank you. Can I show proof of income I get a Job?

My son went over as an exchange student thru the ICYE (and I'm sure there are some other programs.) He worked in a local kindergarten and took a language class in a local community college for "gast arbeiters." You might contact the school you plan to attend and see what they suggest! Good luck - he had a great time and come home a LOT more mature than his peers!

You must have a student visa. There are probably restrictions on how much you can work there while you are on a student visa. Usually, you must be accepted by a University and have sufficient funds on hand to demonstrate that you can support yourself, to qualify for a student visa. This is how student visas work in the U.S....and most countries are similar. You can go to the website below to read the visa requirements for Germany.
