Can I work freelance in Germany on a student visa?

✓ Answered · 1 min read · Community · 31 views

Generally, working freelance (self-employed) on a student visa in Germany is not permitted; the student visa is primarily for educational purposes. While students are allowed to work part-time jobs within specific hourly limits, self-employment activities usually require a different type of visa. It's important to verify the current legal regulations and visa restrictions directly with the official authorities on this matter.
