Contracting in Germany as an american

[spudbynight]

Well it looks like it might be tricky. He'll probably have to get the agency to get him a permit.

Can they do that? The agency is being a bit rubbish.

Ask over here, plenty of USA'ians and others who can help.

Maybe your friend needs to start looking at how to do it - sounds like (s)he's a bit rubbish too.

OK - we have been speaking with a management company. They say that they can sort all this as they have an AUG Labor Leasing licence. They say that simply by having an AUG licence they can legally supply contractors without work permits.

Sounds a bit like bodyshopping.....

My non-EU partner had a German Work Permit, two in fact, it was a total nightmare, in fact the first one took 11 weeks to process. Germans are NOT efficient....
