How long will I be allowed to work in a highly qualified profession?

The duration of the permit depends on the duration of your employment contract. If the agreement is valid for a period shorter than 3 years, the permit will be granted for a period of 3 months longer than the agreement, but not longer than 3 years. If the agreement is concluded for a period longer than 3 years, the permit will be granted for a period of 3 years.
