How much does it cost?
Nothing. We charge no fees for the application, the placement or our support.
How long can I work?
A maximum of 90 days within twelve months and only during your official semester break. You must be able to work at least two months.
What is the ZAV?
The Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung is part of the German Federal Employment Agency. It issues the placement confirmation (Vermittlungsbestätigung) you need to work and to apply for your visa.
Do I need a visa?
It depends on your country. If you need one, you apply with the ZAV confirmation. Book your embassy appointment several weeks in advance.
Which documents do I need?
Passport, enrolment certificate, the German agency form completed and stamped by your university and, if you have one, your driving licence. If your enrolment certificate is not in German or English, you need an officially certified translation.
Do I need to speak German?
It is not required, but it helps. For many jobs basic English is enough.
How do I get paid?
By bank transfer. You need a bank account in your home country to receive the last payment after you return.
