Seasonal worker in Germany

Are you a non-EU citizen wishing to carry out seasonal work in Germany? You can find information below on the conditions, procedures and rights you can enjoy during your stay.

Conditions

To carry out seasonal work in Germany, you must obtain a visa to enter Germany.

Germany has a lot of seasonal workers from EU countries and there is little need and little demand for workers from third countries. At the moment, seasonal workers from third countries may therefore not be employed in Germany, as there are currently no corresponding placement agreements with foreign employment administrations on seasonal employment in agriculture. To ensure that sufficient seasonal workers are available, it is currently being examined whether and with which third countries agreements can be concluded.

Procedures

No information available at the moment.

Rights

No information available at the moment.
