Hello,
I have got an unlimited contract from a German employer and would like to apply for a work permit. I have got some confusion regarding two questions in the application form,

1. Intended duration of stay in Germany - From To

Since I have got an unlimited contract, what should I write here?

2. Do you intend to maintain your permanent residence outside Germany?

Should I write 'Yes'

Please share your experience?

Magi

for, 1. you can write till the end of your passport date, but normaly you get 1 or two years visa at first in case of Blue card you will get for 4 years.
     2. NO.

Thanks Sargana,

If some other guys have more inputs please share..

I had similar doubt.. The consulate staff said, start date as contract start date and end date as Unlimited..
and reg. second question, its your call I gave it as yes..

Jus out of interest can you give me some more information about yourself like which consulate you are applying, contract start date etc..

Thanks Prasanna, I am applying from Bangalore and my contract starts from Jan 2013
So you wrote in the  From area as Start of contract and To area as Unlimited

In the last question 

I am applying for the residance permit for ------------ years.

I hope you wrote the same

Have u already got the visa...

Hi maggi

As you mentioned that you are residing in Bangalore right now. Can you please let me know the process you followed to get a job contract in Germany?

Did you travel there for interview or searching?

Request you to kindly mention the sites/portal/company websites etc. which you looked through to get a job

Many Thanks in advance!

what you filled for Resisdence permit for ..........days/month/year(s).

Should I mentioned unlimited here also or any specific time. Please help me as I have appointment on thrusday in Bangalore consulate.

You can write "unlimited" there if u'd specified unlimited time in the previous place(end date)
If u have specified any time there,  then write that time period..

If you leave it blank now it wont be a problem. You can get it clarified during your visa interview and fill it then and there..
