Student visa to Self Employment Visa!!
Answer

Hello All,

I need some help.

I need information in regard with changing student visa into self employment visa. How it can be done and what are the requirements for that and how long does it take to do that.

I am here in Germay and almost about to finish my studies but I see some potentials to start something on my own. It would be very kind of you if anyone has some information to share in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks cebit for the information.

But ufortunately I found something different from what you have written and now I am a bit confused:

www.berlin.de/formularserver/formular.php?37

It says that after new Residence Act from 1st August 2012, after you have job search visa you may enter into employment or self-employment without any restrictions.

Please give your views on it and help.

Thanks in advace.

Hi,

yes, you are right. Look what is written here..
  1. ... am already living in Germany and want to take up self-em-
    ployment in relation to my university studies/previous scientific
    work (Residence title under section 21 subs. 2a Residence Act)
    Have you graduated from a German university? Have you obtained a resi-
    dence permit for employment or research as a researcher or academic?
    In these instances, you can already receive a residence permit for self-em-
    ployment if the intended work is related to your university education or
    previous work as an academic or researcher (section 21 subs. 2a Residence
    Act).
    Residence titles for self-employment are issued for a maximum of three
    years. #
This is from http://www.bamf.de/SharedDocs/Anlagen/EN/Publikationen/Broschueren/bildung-und-beruf-in-deutschland.pdf?__blob=publicationFile#page=34

To be sure you should contact your local alien office.

Good luck
