Hello! I am working in Berlin on a Blue Card for an IT company. I am on the verge of leaving the company and I have read that usually in such an occassion the Blue Card lasts another 3 months after end of employment. Now, I have an offer to freelance immediately. However, I still have 2 weeks of notice period to finish with my current employer.

- Does my Blue Card allow me to concurrently freelance and work through my notice period?
- Once my employment with the current employment ends, does my Blue Card permit me to freelance for the next 3 months until it expires?
- If my Blue Card doesn't work to freelance, does it help to convert to a "dependant visa" on my husband's Blue Card- will that allow me to freelance?
- If none of the above can be done, what should I do in order to rightfully be able to freelance here on? 

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick response. 

By PR, do you mean permanent residence? I have heard of a Freelance visa being employed by my friends; although it doesn't sound appealing since it takes 3 months to come through; but in principle that could be an option, I'm hoping?

Also, with regards to the dependant visa, my husband holds a Blue Card here and by the Blue card laws, the dependant is entitled to work. Is there anything stopping me from freelancing in that case?

Thanks!

Thanks for your responses. Good to know (and also, sad).
My company moved me to Germany for the job, and now decided to dissolve my team- and I'm still under the probation period. So, just figuring out my options, which don't seem too many.
