Dear Sayed,

If you come from a country poorer than Germany, it will be harder to immigrate here. The easiest way to immigrate to Germany is to study German. If you graduate from a German University, you’ll have one year to find a job.

If you want to start working in Germany right away you’ll need to find an employer. Keep in mind however, there is a rule about who they can hire.

1. First Germans can hire Germans
2. If they couldn’t find a German, they can hire someone from the European Union.
3. You probably fall into this category. A non European, non German. These lovely people have a hard time working in Germany. Employers will need to prove that they couldn’t find anyone else in the last 90 days.  (Not easy to do.)
