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.

Ask your local German Embassy, perhaps they give you for this time a work visa.

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....
