Can you confirm if full-time work is allowed for students in Germany during their studies?

No, full-time work is generally not allowed for international students in Germany during the lecture period. You can work up to 20 hours per week while classes are in session.

During semester breaks, you may work full-time, but your total work must not exceed 140 full days or 280 half days per year. Exemptions may apply for certain university jobs or mandatory internships, but these require proper notification to the local immigration office.

Exceeding permitted hours can affect your residence permit, so always track your work limits closely.
