I am an EU citizen and want to work in Germany. What are my options?

As an EU citizen you have the right to live and work in Germany. After arrival, you just need to register with the appropriate office of the town hall (mostly called "Einwohnermeldeamt" or "Bürgeramt") of your residence in Germany.

For nationals of countries which acceded to the EU on 1 May 2004 and 1 January 2007, transitional regulations apply.
