If you secure a job relevant to your degree within those 18 months, you can then apply for a German work permit or an EU Blue Card (if your job meets the salary threshold).

3. Long-Term Settlement:
After working in Germany for a certain period (usually 2 years on a relevant job with contributions to the pension system), you may be eligible to apply for a permanent residence permit.
