If you need a residence or work permit in Germany, there are a few thing to consider before you getting one is possible. Before you can get a work permit for Germany, you’ll need a job. Before getting a residence permit you’ll need a job or to take some classes.
Getting a Residence Visa
According to the US Embassy: “If you intend to stay longer than 90 days, you are required to register at the local Standesamt – Einwohnermeldeamt (Registration Office) within one week of arrival.”
Getting a Work Visa
Keep in mind that before you recieve the work visa the following needs to be proved, also from the US Embassy: ”
Approval is only given if the job cannot be filled by a German, EU citizen or other applicants given preferential treatment (e.g. third-country nationals who have been living in Germany for a longer period of time). This is known as the Priority Principle (”Vorrangprinzip”). After a specific period of time has lapsed, it is possible for the U.S. citizen applicant to have the same access to the labor market as German and EU citizens.”
