Residence permit for freelance and artistic work

A liberal profession or freelance occupation is an independently practiced scientific, artistic, written, teaching, or educational occupation. According to German law, a freelance activity is not a trade and is therefore subject neither to the Trade Regulation law nor to trade tax.

We will be happy to advise you if you need legal support and representation in obtaining a residence permit for the purpose of freelance work in accordance with Section 21 (5) AufenthG and – if desired – accompany you to your appointment with the relevant authorities. Of course, we will also support you in bringing your family (with you) to Germany.

Berlin is a centre of attraction for artists. For more than a decade, we have helped countless artists from all over the world to obtain residence permits.
