Job seeker visa, known as “Temporary residence permit for qualified skilled workers seeking employment” is issued to people who wish to come to Germany to search for an employment opportunity. Germany is lacking skilled professionals and taking in more people from other countries to bridge the gap.
The job seeker visa allows the person to stay in Germany for 6 months, search for a job and once a job is confirmed, they can convert it into a Blue Card or Work Permit.
For student who already have a Masters degree in Germany, they get an extension for 18 months for finding a job. It is different from others who are entering Germany in order to find a job.
