Before travelling to Germany, you must apply for a national visa in your home country. Citizens of Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the United States of America can enter Germany without a visa and apply for a residence permit in Germany.
After entering the country, you must apply for a residence permit in writing to the immigration authority responsible for you before your visa expires.
Please note: If the approval of the Federal Employment Agency is required, for example in the case of in-company training and further education, the immigration authority will obtain this in an internal administrative procedure.
You will then receive either the desired residence permit or a notice of refusal.
The residence permit for the purpose of training is limited in time and is only valid for this purpose of residence. If the purpose of your stay changes, you must inform the competent authority immediately.
You must apply for an extension of the residence permit in good time before it expires.
