What are your plans after completing your masters? Do you want to stay abroad for permanent residence or return to India after gaining work experience in Germany/Latvia for a Master's?
It depends on your career goals and personal preferences. Here’s how post-study options compare:
- Latvia: After your master's, you can stay for up to 4 months to search for a job. If you secure employment, you may apply for a work permit. There is no dedicated post-study work visa, and the job market can be competitive.
- Germany: After your master's, you are eligible for an 18-month job-seeking visa. You can work during this time and, if you find a relevant job, transition to a work permit or EU Blue Card. This can lead to permanent residency after a few years of employment.
Returning to India with an international degree can boost your prospects, but you may need to manage recruiter expectations and salary adjustments.
