Living and working in the heart of Europe...
A trip to Berlin or a walk in the Alps is one thing. Living and working in Germany is another: immersing yourself totally in another culture and getting to know a country and its people inside out. Whether your aim is to discover new job opportunities or to give your career an extra boost. We want to help you do it.
Moderate climate, a regionally diverse cuisine (though not exactly renowned for its sophistication), a varied landscape with coasts and mountains, any number of famous historic and natural monuments...
All of that, and lots more, is "typically German". Many Germans like to spend their holidays in their own country due to these, and other, attractions. At the same time, the number of international overnight stays in Germany reached almost 55 million in 2009 according to the German Central Office for Tourism. People from all over the world grace Germany with their presence time and time again. We Germans think that is fantastic.
You’ve been contemplating coming to Germany? Then we will help you to make a decision. We, the International Placement Services (ZAV), are the contact partner within the German Federal Employment Agency for the international labour market and help German companies recruit foreign workers.
Whether you need a work permit in Germany and whether the work permit can be issued to you, you will find out with the migration check.
On this website you will find lots of information on living and working in Germany and the services we provide.
