Can I work full-time in Germany while writing my bachelor's thesis?
It might be possible to work while you're writing your bachelor's thesis in Germany, but you absolutely need to pay close attention to the working hour limits for international students. Generally, with a student residence permit, you're allowed to work 140 full days (or 280 half days) per year. The specifics and any potential exceptions depend on the conditions of your individual residence permit. It's always best to confirm the current rules and whether full-time work is permitted during your thesis period directly with the Ausländerbehörde (Foreigners' Office).
