The freelancer visa, Germany

The freelancer visa is similar to the self-employed visa but there are slight differences. Most German freelancer visas are issued for three months but can be extended up to three years if you show your business has been successful. Freelancers are considered a “liberal profession,” and you may be required to obtain a license to practice your trade in some cases. To qualify for a freelancer visa, you must:

1. Prove residency in Germany.
2. Have current health insurance.
3. Have clients in Germany.
4. Make enough money to support yourself.

Although there’s no exact revenue specified that you’ll need to prove, the estimated amount is a minimum of €800 per month.

If you’re over 45, you need to show a monthly pension plan of €1,188.92. If you’re over the age of 67, you’ll need to guarantee an asset amount of €175,068
