Seeking a Job in Germany?
Germany is economically one of the most powerful countries in the world, with high prospects and a low unemployment rate. It is one of the countries seeking highly-qualified personnel to occupy well paid and skilled positions.
Those wanting to start a career in Germany will have to avail a Jobseeker's visa. It is a long term residency permit, allowing the applicant a time of six months to stay and look for job prospects.
If at the end of six months, the applicant finds employment, they will be provided with a German Work Visa or Work Permit. The Jobseeker Visa doesn't allow the candidate to start working instantly; it only allows the candidate to seek a job.
