How to Make a Living in Germany

Germany is a country rich in history, and it attracts settlers from around the world. As part of the European Union, workers from other member countries are able to settle and work within Germany without the need for visas and permits. Residents of non-member countries must ensure that they meet immigration requirements before working within Germany. Once within Germany, residents find that there is a wealth of jobs available for the new migrant and can start to make a living.

      Apply to immigrate. Applying to live and work within Germany, from outside the European Union, is difficult. Contact the Auslanderbehorde in that area to be settled. Information on the immigration process and whom to contact can be found on Migrationinformation.org.

      Apply for a job. Prepare a formal resume, using a computer, and include detailed information regarding education and experience. Most word processors come with resume templates, and they can be downloaded free from many websites. Attend job interviews, dressed formally and well prepared. Research the company, focusing on mission statements, recent transactions and any media coverage it may have had.

      Search for a residence. For immigrants on a temporary work visa, renting is the best option. Use a rental agency, local classified or Internet resources to find a suitable property close to your job. For immigrants on a permanent visa, buying a home may be the best option. Visit local real-estate agents to view potential houses on the market.
