After completing graduation, will I be provided a work visa with my job in Germany?
27 Jul 2026 · Answered by Hardika Gautam · 1 min read
No, you are not automatically granted a work visa with your job after graduation in Germany.
You must first apply for an 18-month Job Seeker Residence Permit after completing your studies. This permit allows you to stay in Germany and search for a job related to your degree. During this time, you can work in any job to support yourself.
Once you find a position relevant to your qualification, you can then apply for a work residence permit or an EU Blue Card to work legally in Germany.
