If you have a residence permit to look for a place to study and its total validity period of nine months has not yet been reached, you can apply for an extension of your residence permit.
You should apply for an extension of your residence permit in good time before the expiry of your residence permit in order to look for a training place for qualified vocational training.
You can find further information and the opportunity to apply on our careers website. https://www.karriere.hamburg/einstiegsmoeglichkeiten/traineeprogramme/jura
If you are a former university graduate, researcher or scientist and have a temporary residence permit to pursue self-employment, you can apply for an extension under certain conditions.
