Germany Work Permit

Hi Friends,
I am an Indian National currently working in Germany for 2 years through a work permit..which is under inter company transfer policy.
I got a new job offer from another German company.
They are willing to help me in getting a workpermit.
This is a Sr. IT Analyst kind of job.

1. Is it possible to get a workpermit in Germany under current situations?

2. What kind of workpermit i can apply, one with respect to this employer or a general one which allows me to shift jobs?

3. How long will the process take?

4. Which workpermit agencies can help me in getting this in germany?


Will be very thankful to responses.
Regards,
CG

Hi,

1. Is it possible to get a workpermit in Germany under current situations?

I think, Yes

2. What kind of workpermit i can apply, one with respect to this employer or a general one which allows me to shift jobs?

You can't apply for workpermit insted your new employer should make it.

3. How long will the process take?

I don't know exactly but I think if you are in Germany not more then 2-3 weeks, or may be less

4. Which workpermit agencies can help me in getting this in germany?

As I wrote, only your new company can apply for work permit.


I hope that will help you.

Regards,

Hi N_SVik

Thanks a lot for your response.

If my new prospective employer will aplly for a work permit, will it allow me to work only for that employer?

And I heard only i will get a work permit issues, if they cannot find a person in Europe who can do that job? Is that true.
This job offer requires fluent english as a very strong requirment so will it help?

For how many years will be the work permit granted? I have a permenant job offer from my new employer?

I read in workpermit.com, as of new rules in 2005, u can get permanent residence permit which will allow u to work in germany also. is this something different from the normal work permit we are talking now?
will i be elligible to apply that?


Answers will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks alot for your support.
