German Visa: Can Tourist Visa Be Changed to Employment?

No, a German tourist visa cannot be directly converted to a German employment visa while you are in Germany. Tourist visas are issued for short-term visits and do not allow for employment or visa conversion within Germany.

To obtain an employment visa, you must return to your home country and apply at the German embassy or consulate. The process involves submitting required documents, such as a job offer, employment contract, and proof of qualifications, and meeting eligibility criteria.
