Yes, it is true. After completing your master's degree in Germany, you are eligible to apply for an 18-month post-study work visa (Job Seeker Residence Permit).

This visa lets you stay in Germany for up to 18 months to search for a job related to your field of study. You can work in any job during this time to support yourself. Once you secure a relevant position, you can switch to a long-term work residence permit or an EU Blue Card.

Visa policies are subject to change.
