Visa for Employees

When is a Visa required?

Citizens of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA), and Switzerland can work in Germany without any visa.

EU citizens from the new Eastern European EU member states Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia (until 2011 at the latest); and Bulgaria and Romania (until 2014 at the latest) still require a work permit for non-self-employed work in Germany. However, since 2009 the labor market has been opened up to university graduates from the new EU states.

Nationals from all other countries have to apply for a residence permit for the purpose of taking up employment (Aufenthaltserlaubnis für abhängige Beschäftigung).
