International students and trainees who complete their studies or vocational training in Germany can remain in the country for up to 18 months to look for employment through the Germany Job Seeker Visa.
The visa is offered to foreign nationals who have already completed a recognised degree or vocational training programme in Germany and wish to stay longer to secure a job. Once employment is found, visa holders can apply for a work residence permit or, depending on their qualifications, an EU Blue Card.
