Can nationals of countries which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 and 1 January 2007 work in Germany?
EU citizens have the right to live and work in Germany. Nevertheless transitional arrangements apply for nationals of the countries which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 (except for citizens of Cyprus and Malta) and 1 January 2007. For more information please contact the competent German mission covering your place of residence.
Nationals of the states which joined the EU on 1 May 2004 and 1 January 2007 must register in their future place of residence in Germany at the registration office (Bürgeramt/Einwohnermeldeamt) and must apply at the Employment Agency (Arbeitsagentur) for a work permit.
