Hi guys ! I am a moroccan citizen and I was wondering if I can register at a German intensive program for 2 months in Germany ( in Goethe institutof Berlin) and get into an ausbildung training right after getting my C2 level. I don't know if I need to change my visa for such a situation. Does it sound like a good plan?
Hi Ouss.belkhou,
I have created a new thread with your post on the Germany forum for more visibility and interaction with the members.
Thank you,

The visa types for a language course and an apprenticeship are different. Thus you have to convert the visa inbetween. You should ask the German embassy, or the Ausländeramt of the town you want to reside in, whether such a conversion is possible while you are in Germany, or whether you need to return to your home country.
Thank you beppi for your help, really appreciate!!

@aryashivam72 Why do you want to change from your current apprentice visa, and to which visa type?

Nope. Trying to change to working full-time after having entered on a visa to do such a vocational training is clearly forbidden and you must have signed documents detailing this to get the visa. A study visa for university allows some part-time work. It also means that if one completes a degree in Germany that they have up to 18 months to stay on and look for work in their field of study. But an Ausbidlung or vocational training is not the same.
A visa for vocational training neither allows part-time nor full-time work. The exception is work related and part of the vocational training. A provision to look for work afterwards in the field of the Ausblidung is now allowed up to 12 months.

Government officials know that people will try to get a visa of any kind with the real intention to find work. They cannot disregard such violations of the rules or it makes a mockery of the whole system of visas for studying or vocational training. That one would do an Ausbildung after having already gotten a bachelor is unusual to begin with. The other thing is that a non-EU person will usually not be accepted to take a job in Germany that is basically unskilled. That one has a degree in Gastronomy and hotel management makes sense if one is managing a restaurant perhaps but not just to cook and/or clean for example. So what exactly this potential job entails is important. Can one return home and apply for a work visa from there and be recruited back to Germany - because this might be your only legal option?
