After studies, which resident permit should I apply for?

You can apply for different residence permits after a successful completion proof, the most common one is however the application for a job seeking residence permit for 18 months. During the 18 months you have the right to do any kind of work and also work full time. The latest at the end of the 18 month you must apply for another residence permit, the most common is a residence permit for work.

If you apply directly after your studies for a resident permit for work instead of a job seeker rp and you lose the work, you cannot switch back to the first 18 months job seeking residence permit but to a shorter one.

Therefore, it is advisable to be at least out of the probation time at the work position and check among others that it is not underpaid before you apply for a residence permit for work. More information you can get during a legal consultation with our lawyers that can be booked.
