Hi

I would like to know about the work visa of Germany.
I am from Pakistan and an IT professional.
Do I get the work visa from German Embassy here in order to work in Germany?
Would some one give me detail about how to obtain the permission/work visa to work in Germany?
It seems that there is a difference b/w Work permit and work visa.

Thanks

Hi

Below you find about the article from FAQ of german web site.

It seems that for obtaining work visa a person may apply via German Embassy/consulate in his home country.


Thanks

What is the procedure for applying for a work visa?
Foreign nationals as a general rule need a residence permit (which also grants access to the labour market) to take up employment in Germany. If you intend to commence work in Germany you have to apply for such a permit from the competent German mission abroad before entering Germany.

When the application is submitted to the competent German mission abroad, the mission forwards the application for decision to the foreigners authority in the place where the job in Germany is to be commenced. The foreigners authority has to coordinate its decision with the employment office that is to issue the permit.

The German mission abroad can only issue the visa for entry when the foreigners authority has granted its approval. Details on the documents to be presented with your application are often available on the webpage of the competent German mission abroad or directly from the mission itself.

Nationals of Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and the United States may appy for the necessary permit after arrival in Germany.

EU citizens as well as citizens of Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland citizens have the right to live and work in Germany. After arrival, they just need to register with the appropriate office of the town hall (mostly called "Einwohnermeldeamt" or "Bürgeramt") of their residence in Germany.

For nationals of countries which acceded to the EU on 1 May 2004, transitional regulations apply
