Recently, Germany has become the number one destination for foreign students
\nseeking to make some extra money and live in Germany over the summer. Germany
\nhas long been a hub for international students seeking world-class education and
\ncultural experiences. Ferienjob, or summer job programs, in Germany have become
\nincreasingly popular, especially for students from outside the European Union.<\/p>\n
Ferienjob, translated as “holiday job” in English, is a program that allows
\ninternational students to work during their summer break. It is designed to provide
\nstudents with an opportunity to gain practical work experience, earn some extra
\nmoney, and immerse themselves in German culture. This program is particularly
\nbeneficial for non-EU students who often face more stringent restrictions when it
\ncomes to working in Germany.<\/p>\n
However, there are still certain criteria that international students from outside the EU
\nmust meet to work in Germany. Firstly, they must be enrolled in a university program.
\nSecondly, they are allowed to work only up to 90 days per calendar year and only
\nwithin their official semester breaks. A command of the German language is often
\nnot required but heavily depends on the job. For example, Gabriel Beqauri, a student
\nfrom Georgia working in Frankfurt over the summer, who works as a waiter at a
\nrestaurant, is required to know German at least at a basic level, but some students
\nworking as janitors or in other menial jobs do not need to know German.<\/p>\n
