Can I do part-time work during my studies abroad in Germany/Italy?
Yes, you can work part-time during your studies in Germany or Italy, but there are specific rules for each country.
- Germany: You may work up to 140 full days or 280 half days per year (about 20 hours/week during the semester). Full-time work is allowed during semester breaks, but you must not exceed the annual limit. Certain university jobs may be exempt from these limits.
- Italy: You can work up to 20 hours/week during the academic term and full-time during official university holidays. Your study residence permit covers part-time work, so no extra permit is needed.
Always follow your visa conditions and stay within the allowed work hours to maintain your student status. Balancing work and studies is important for your academic success.
