GERMANY

Germany Jobseeker Visa is an initiative by Federal Government to encourage more qualified professionals from abroad to come to Germany. As from 1 August, 2012, graduates with a German or other recognized university degree or a foreign degree comparable to a German degree will be eligible to enter Germany to seek employment.
Holders of a jobseeker visa may stay in Germany for up to six months to seek employment. To obtain a jobseeker visa, applicants must furnish proof of their university degree and documents of support for their planned duration of stay. While seeking employment, jobseekers are not permitted to work, whether on a self employed basis or otherwise.
Germany jobseeker visa holders can look for suitable employment in Germany, but cannot take any employment. Only after adequate employment is found and visa status is changed to residence permit, one will be allowed to take up employment in the country.
Visa applications are being processed within weeks of submission. The visa decision and duration however vary from one application to another.
