International students who do not come from the EU, EEA or Switzerland may work 140 full or 280 half days per year or 20 hours per week.
You do not need the approval of the Immigration Office for this.
If you want to work more than 140 full or 280 half days or 20 hours per week per year, you need the approval of the Foreigners' Registration Office.
One exception, however, is work as an academic or student assistant at the university or as a tutor at the student union: as long as your studies are not at risk, this work can be carried out for an unlimited period of time.
However, the Foreigners' Registration Office must be informed.

You have applied for an extension of your residence permit.
We would like to point out that if you already had a valid residence permit (within the meaning of Section 4 (1) sentence 2 of the Residence Act) and applied for its renewal in good time before it expired, the old residence permit will continue to apply even if it has expired in the meantime (Section 81 (4) sentence 1 of the Residence Act). A work permit, if applicable, also remains valid. However, this does not apply to holders of a Schengen visa (short-stay visa) who have applied for a residence permit.
