Service Description

Do you need a residence permit to look for a training place in order to complete qualified vocational training? You can obtain this under certain conditions.

You can obtain a residence permit for the purpose of looking for a training place if you would like to complete qualified vocational training in Germany but have not yet found a training place. Qualified vocational training is defined as vocational training in a state-recognized or comparable regulated occupation that lasts at least 2 years.

You should be under the age of 35 and must be able to support yourself and pay your health insurance without claiming public benefits.

You can take up employment of up to 20 hours per week during your stay. Trial employment is possible for up to two weeks.

You will receive a residence permit if you:

  • have sufficient German language skills at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
  • have a school-leaving certificate that gives you access to higher education or a degree from a German school abroad

The residence permit to look for a training place to carry out qualified vocational training is limited in time. It can be issued for a maximum of 9 months.

If you have not yet reached the age of 18, you will need the consent of your legal guardians for your stay to apply for a university place.
