When can I get my work permit in Germany?

Question

I was in Germany until August as a volunteer. After I wanted to stay there as a normal worker. I have found a place where I can work. They asked for work permit, but I did not get it, because I am from hungary, and we have membership with EU later as Germany, Italy, England or Holland.

I know, that maybe until 2011 I have to ask for work permit, because I have to wait for the time, when Germany let the hungarian people to work without. But maybe Germany let us before... But when? Has somebody information?

Answer 1

The German government has issued a restriction on all new EU citizens which does not allow them to work in Germany without a work permit in Germany until 2011.

The Bundesagentur fuer Arbeit can issue you a work permit for Germany

Check the following page for more information (in German):

Answer 2

I think, if they need somebody with the job you have, you will get work permit before 2011. I have seen people from East Europe, 2004 in one EU country and they have got work permit. They were not member of EU then.

Answer 3

You should contact the local Arbeitsamt. They can register you, and perhaps advise you on this.
