Just to update,

I have a BE status and I applied for Selbstandige initially. I was told to get 500,000 Euro and employ 5 Germans.

I came back in this forum and asked questions around. Also read the law. So, there seems to an exception in the law that if you do not want to setup a company but at the same time want to work as a consultant, then the Visa officer needs to get an approval from IHK / chamber of commerce that you can conduct free lancing in the your cliamed speciality.

In my case, IHK sent a letter back to the visa officer that they had no problem and eventually I did get this Freiberuflicher visa on my passport.

So, I think all I need now is a tax consultant and ask him to get a VAT for me, and I can bill companies.

In Summary, Freelancing without NE is possible.

Special thanks to Detlef for helping me out!!

"So, I think all I need now is a tax consultant and ask him to get a VAT for me, and I can bill companies."

No, next stop for you: the Finanzamt of your town, go there and register as a freelancer and you'll get your Ust-Id. per post 1 or 2 weeks after your registration, the tax consultant has nothing to do in that process.

Hello J,

Congrats man that you could get them to give you this permission. Just to have some idea, how long did it take for you? As I have heard it takes between 6-8 weeks. Did it take so long for you?

In fact if you don't mind I would like to speak to you to get some more details. Could you kindly drop me a mail at "reachsank@yahoo.com" please.

Thanks J.

Cheers.

Congratulations!!!

Would you please tell what's the difference with your fomer BE visa? They changed it all or just add some line or parragraph or a sticker?

thanks a lot!

Hi All!

Answers below,

- The whole thing took two weeks - time it takes IHK to answer back.
- cost 30 euros
- benefit --> can take contracts + can also work full time

for info, I am palcing the cover letter used,

I think what worked was that a definate contract was on offer that attached with the cover letter and that the Officer was in a good mood.

I wrote the cover letter, business plan and resume in plain english and asked a friend ot translate it.

Hope this helps others,
br,

Sehr geehrten Damen und Herren!

Ich habe zurzeit das Visa für "Unselbständige Beschäftigung gestattet Selbständige Tätigkeit nicht gestattet."

Ich möchte das VISA erweitern für "Selbständige Tätigkeit"
Um dieses Visa zu Erlangen, erlaube ich mir auf das Gesetz zu verweisen:
§ 21 Selbständige Tätigkeit
(5) Einem Ausländer kann eine Aufenthaltserlaubnis zur Ausübung einer freiberuflichen Tätigkeit abweichend von Absatz 1 erteilt werden. Eine erforderliche Erlaubnis zur Ausübung des freien Berufes muss erteilt worden oder ihre Erteilung zugesagt sein. Absatz 1 Satz 4 ist entsprechend anzuwenden. Absatz 4 ist nicht anzuwenden.

Ich habe das Angebot für einen Freiberuflichen Vertrag über sechs Monate,
startend mit xx 20xx und endend mit xx 20xx. Der Vertrag ist mit
einer Vermittlungsagentur (xxxxx) die mit Siemens zusammenarbeitet als IT Berater für Mobilfunknetzwerke in München. Ich habe eine Ingenieursausbildung mit mehreren Jahren Erfahrung in der Mobilfunkindustrie.

Wenn ich das Visa für "Selbständige Tätigkeit" erhalte, kann ich das
Angebot annehmen und für mich eine Steuernummer beantragen.

Vielen Danke für Ihre Bemühungen!

You are in the wrong forum and also wrong country.

Improve your English before moving to a English speaking country

.....i am a machienset,i am 35 years old i have 5 years of working experince in UAE...

In UK there is a big demand for highly qualified people with working experience in class-1 countries. The fact that your highness hail from Pakistan is an added bonus to claim your fortune in UK.
