Residence permits for citizens of other countries - first apply
for relevant visa in your home country
|

If you wish to visit Nuremberg as a tourist or business traveler,
you need a tourist or business visa. This is valid for maximum 90
days and must be obtained in your home country by applying to the
German Embassy or a German consulate. You usually receive this visa
within a few days. This visa also allows you to conduct business
in Nuremberg for your company in your home country (e.g. installation
and commissioning of machinery, conducting negotiations, concluding
contracts, assembling or manning exhibition stands). These activities
require no work permit or residence permit.
However, if you wish to complete a period of training in a company,
accept employment in a company or become self-employed in Nuremberg,
you need a visa that already includes an appropriate residence permit.
To obtain this you must apply to the German Embassy or a German
consulate in your home country. This authority will then ask the
Nuremberg Aliens Department if you will receive a work permit for
the intended employment. You will only receive the appropriate visa
if a work permit will be issued. Please note that this check can
take several weeks to complete. A simplified visa procedure is available
as part of the Green Card scheme for IT specialists.
You need a residence permit, which is granted in the form of a
limited residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis - leads to a permanent
residence permit) or a residence permit (Aufenthaltsbewilligung)
for trainees or students.
