Student Visa- Germany?
Student Visa- Germany?
Can foreign students work on a student visa? I've heard that international students are allowed to work 90 days a year, but I've also heard that it's fine to work up to 19.5 hours a week. Is the latter condition just applicable for those 3 months or can students work up to 19.5 hours a week, throughout the year? Also, can people travel to and fro schengen countries on a student visa?

If you are a student from a European Union or European Economic Area country you can work as long as you like. Non-EU students who require a visa must get an approval by the German Employment Agency [Arbeitsagentur] to either work full time during term breaks for a total of 90 days per year or to work half days [19.5 hours per week] for a total of 180 days per year. This does not apply to college or language school students who are not authorized to work at all. http://www.internationale-studierende.de/en/during_your_studies/jobbing/allowed_to_work/ .. http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/Infoservice/FAQ/Studium/07-ArbeitserlaubnisD.html .. The student visa is only issued for the initial entry to Germany with a validation of 90 days. Foreign students must get registered and must apply for a temporary residence permit at the town-hall of the place of their university respectively of the place in which they plan to reside during their studies. The residence permit issued by Germany serves as visa waiver to the other 24 Schengen countries for a stay of up to 90 days within a 6 months period; however this is moreless a theoretical requirement since nobody can control it. There are no immigration/passport controls on internal travel between Schengen countries. http://www.auswaertiges-amt.de/diplo/en/Infoservice/FAQ/VisumFuerD/15-Schengenstaaten.html ..
