Company Work Permit Services
While EU nationals are free to travel and work within Europe, people from most other countries need a visa to enter the EU and a work permit to work in Germany.
If a company intends to relocate a non-EU-national employee to Germany, one of the first points to be identifies is if the employee can get one of these permits.
To obtain a work visa, the employee must be offered wither a local contract with a German entity or a deputation contract with a foreign company entity. Should the company decide to go for a deputation then it needs to be know that such a stay must not exceed a period 3 months, unless the company has a German company entity (ICT). Also, some nationalities (like American employee) are excluded from the 3 months – deputation limit.
