Applying for a residence permit to look for a job after recognition of foreign professional qualifications
Description
If you have successfully established the equivalence of a foreign professional qualification or have obtained the professional training permit, you can be granted a temporary residence permit to look for a job.
The residence permit will be issued to you directly after your previous recognition procedure. An extension of the residence permit is only possible if the maximum period has not been exhausted when it was first issued. If you cannot find a job during this time, an extension of the residence permit is not possible even then. You are then obliged to leave Germany.
This residence permit allows gainful employment without restriction.
You are already in possession of a residence permit for the purpose of looking for a job after a successful recognition procedure of your foreign professional qualification in Germany, the maximum period of which of 12 months has not yet been exhausted.
