Is it possible to settle in Germany after completing my master's degree?

Yes, you can settle in Germany after completing your master's degree.

Germany offers an 18-month post-study work visa (Job Seeker Visa) that allows international graduates to stay and look for a job related to their field. Once you secure a relevant job, you can apply for a work residence permit, such as the EU Blue Card, which can lead to permanent residency.

You must:
- Complete your master's at a recognized German university
- Show proof of financial means for the job search period
- Have valid health insurance

Start your application for the Job Seeker Visa before your student visa expires. If you need help with the process, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
