German Residence Permit Clarification. German Speakers please help!?

Question

I have a German residence permit for freelance work, issued under, "AufenthG
§ 21 Selbständige Tätigkeit." I applied as a freelance English teacher. When I applied for the permit, I supplied them with a leter from one of my clients, a language school in Dresden. However, once I recieved the permit, it appears to have a condition on it. I was under the impresson that as a freelance teacher, I am allowed to contract with mulitple clients, so long as I am teaching English. I was also told this at my interview with the language school in Dresden.

The permit states:
Beschäftigung als freiberuflicher Englisch-Trainer bei ****** Sprachschule erlaubt. Die Aufenthaltserlaubnis erlischt bei Beendigung dieser Tätigkeit.

Am I allowed to contract with other clients with this? Did my local Ausländerbehörde mess up? I live in Görlitz, which I assume does not have many others applying for a permit for this job. Please let me know!


P.S. The local Ausländerbehörde already messed up once with the validity date. I had to get a temporary permit (Fiktionsbescheinigung) because of that.

Answer 1

Really, it only seems to say that the term of the residence permit expires when your regular job ends.

I don't see anything against contacting other clients.

If you discussed this in conversation and there isn't anything against it in writing, I don't see why to press the issue.

It's not like Germans to get things wrong like this.



"Residence Section 21 Self-employment. "

Employment as a freelance English-trainer at ****** language school. The residence permit expires upon completion of this activity.

Answer 2

You misspelled the English words letter and received, and you put a comma into a sentence that doesn't belong there. I find that quite troubling for a person who wants to work as an English teacher.



To answer your question, your work permit is limited to the school in Dresden. Once you are not working at that school anymore, your residency permit expires. So you are working basically like a 1099 subcontractor in the United States, are not employed, but self-employed. I'm not sure if you can accept other clients while working for that school, nor would anybody care, but if you stop working for that school, you are dead in the water.

Answer 3

You are not educated to teach English. Your spelling and grammar is atrocious.

Answer 4

You need to speak with the organizations that are hosting your stay, preferably their attorneys to get clarification. I can try to translate it for you, but it won't answer your questions one bit.
