Do I need a visa or a residence permit to work in Germany?
To work in Germany, you generally need a 'residence permit for employment purposes.' While people often use the term 'work visa' interchangeably, it usually refers to this residence permit. Even if you're a non-EU citizen who can enter Germany without a visa, you must apply for this specific permit if you plan to stay long-term for work.
