Regarding Work permit

Post by GmoDelft » Wed Jun 12, 2013 10:45 am

I have some question,

After graduation (Masters) I can directly join a company or I have to arrange work permit to start doing job as permanent employee? I am non-EU

What if i get a job in another country, suppose, Germany. As far as i know, i can live in any schengen country upto three months . But Can i also join in any german company directly after graduation ? Or I should apply for german work permit before starting work ?

You can get a "graduate extention" for 6 months to find a job - when you find one you need to apply for a residence permit as a worker just like ordinary. Read migri.fi for the specifics.

You can visit Germany or any EEA country for the 3 months, but working is each countrys own problem, so you have to apply for the permit seaparately.

Yes, you need a German work permit before you can start working in Germany.

Note that this will be given (or rejected) under German rules.

In Norway you will also be a non-EU citizen without any special privileges.
