Can I work full-time during holidays in Germany?


Yes, as an international student in Germany, you are generally allowed to work full-time during university holidays.

Here are the key details:

- During the semester: You are permitted to work up to 20 hours per week.
- During official university holidays (semester breaks): You can work full-time (more than 20 hours per week).

Annual Limit:
You are allowed to work up to 120 full days or 240 half days per year (calendar year). Working full-time during holidays counts toward your 120 full days.

Important Tips:
- Always check your university’s official holiday calendar for the exact dates.
- If you exceed the permitted number of working days, you must obtain special permission from the local Foreigners’ Office (Ausländerbehörde).
- Internships, even unpaid ones, also count toward your work allowance unless they are mandatory as part of your course.
