There is a time limit for working in Germany. Generally speaking, the German government allows international students to work no more than 90 full days or 180 half days a year. No more than 60 hours per month during class, except holidays. Many international students will work more to make up for the most basic living expenses when there is no exam during the holidays, but this kind of life is still quite hard. The cost of studying in Germany is about 7,000 euros a year, which of course varies from person to person. In principle, you are allowed to work while studying in Germany, but you are not allowed to work all year round. People who study language courses on short-term visas are not allowed to work. At work, it depends on what visa you get. If there is no regulation, there is a time limit for going to work every month.

In addition, it should be noted that if you attend language class training or pre-university study in Germany, you are usually not allowed to work. If you want to work, you need permission from the German Immigration Bureau and the Labor Bureau, and only on holidays.

2, tax deduction and other issues

Although international students work in Germany during the holiday of studying abroad, your boss should provide you with the same treatment as other workers, that is, in addition to your salary, your boss will deduct the payroll tax. Of course, if you have the obligation of social insurance, the boss will deduct the social insurance premium from your income and transfer it to the Finance Bureau or the medical insurance company. Under normal circumstances, international students must give their tax cards to their bosses before they start working, and the bosses will return them to you at the end of the employment relationship. By then, the back of your tax card has been clearly written, what is your total income during your part-time job and how much tax is deducted. There is another way, because you are a short-term worker, you can also estimate the payroll tax by the boss, without giving the tax card to the boss, who is responsible to the Finance Bureau.

Under the following circumstances, your income does not need to be deducted first: when studying in Germany, you only work part-time occasionally, and your continuous work does not exceed 18 days; Your salary during working hours shall not exceed 120 mark; Your average hourly wage during working hours does not exceed 20.65 marks; Where wages are paid on a monthly basis, the monthly working hours shall not exceed 86 hours, and the hourly wage within the working period shall not exceed 20.65 marks.

3. Job hunting methods

The German study abroad network points out that there are many ways to find a job. Here are some common and effective methods for you:
