Frequently asked questions
Here you will find answers to the questions we are most frequently asked.
What is the minimum wage in Germany?
The statutory minimum wage in Germany has been €13.90 gross per hour since January 1, 2026..
In addition, the earnings limit for mini-jobs will be raised to €603 per month on January 1, 2026. This adjustment to the mini-job limit is linked to the minimum wage to ensure that those working approximately 10 hours per week retain their status as marginally employed
Under what conditions can Filipinos with a work permit for the Czech Republic work in Germany?
Filipino citizens holding a work permit (Employee Card) for the Czech Republic are considered third-country nationals, and a Czech permit does not automatically grant the right to work in Germany.
However, they can work in Germany under specific conditions, largely depending on whether the work is temporary (posting) or permanent (relocation), and their status in the Czech Republic.
1. Temporary Work (Posting/Van der Elst Ruling)
Filipino workers employed by a Czech company can work in Germany temporarily if they are "posted" (sent) to fulfill a contract for a German client.
Conditions: The worker must have legal residency in the Czech Republic, a valid work permit (employee card), be employed under a valid contract, and temporarily provide services for a client in Germany. Requirements: The employer must comply with German minimum wage, working conditions, and social security regulations. No additional German work permit is needed for these temporary assignments, but they cannot exceed 90 days within 180 days.

2. Long-Term Residence/Permanent Residents
If the Filipino citizen has attained "permanent residence" in the Czech Republic (e.g., "trvalý pobyt – rezident ES" or "permanent residence – resident EU"), they have easier access to the German labor market.
Condition: They must have a residence permit issued with the designation "Daueraufenthalt-EG" or "Daueraufenthalt-EU".
Application: They can apply for a German work residence permit directly in Germany, but they must do so within 90 days of entering.
Approval: They can only start working once they receive approval from the German Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit).
3. As an EU Blue Card Holder
If the Filipino worker holds an EU Blue Card issued by the Czech Republic, they have special mobility rights.
Short-term: They can stay and work in Germany for up to 90 days for business activities related to their employer without a new visa or work permit.
Long-term: After 12 months of legal residence in the Czech Republic with a Blue Card, they may be able to move to Germany to work, subject to a new application to the German Foreigners Authority.

4. New Job Offer (Relocation to Germany)
If a Filipino worker wants to leave their Czech employer to work for a German company, they must follow the standard process for third-country nationals.
Visa Required: They must apply for a national work visa (D Visa) at a German mission before entering Germany.
Qualification: The job must usually be a "qualified profession" (requiring vocational training or an academic degree).
Recognition: The qualification must be recognized in Germany.

Important Considerations
Visa-Free Travel: The Czech work permit/card allows Filipinos to enter Germany for up to 90 days (within 180 days) for tourism or business meetings, but not to start working without authorization.
Posting Rules: If working for a Czech temp agency, special posting restrictions may apply.
