Changing Company
Hi All,
I am an employee of an Indian company.
They applied for my work permit last year and contracted me to a German company.
my residence permit bears this special text -
------------------------------------------------
Selbstaendige erwerbstaetigkeit und arbeitsaufnahme nicht gestattet, ausgenommen die taetigkeit als B.E. bei #firma name#.
Die aufenthaltsgenehmigung enischt mit beendigung der genannten taetigkeit.
Die aufenthaltsgenehmigung ersetzt nicht die arbeitserlaubnis
---------------------------------------------
I have an offer from different German company, is it legal to change the company.
Thanks for your advice in advance

Re: Changing Company
No,
with these conditions on your residence permit. It is not legal.
New Company should apply for a new work permit for you.(this should go through ABH now after 1.1.2005) Actually your situation is not much different from a newcomer, when you have those conditions on your residence permit.

"Actually your situation is not much different from a newcomer, when you have those conditions on your residence permit."
it's much worse. because the officials in the immigration office know that he is supposed to be here until his project ends and after that has to go back.
he should apply for a residence permit himself, but i guess he did it through an indian company, therefore such a "nice" residence permit

Re: Changing Company
Thanks for all the information.
This means that my new employer must apply for a change in my residence permit.
Can you put some light on ABH ?
How long it can take ?
Thanks !!!

"How long it can take ?"
Well, god knows how long. It can be one day or two months. That is the Ermessensspielraum of the ABH/Arbeitsamt. It helps a lot if the company deals with them directly and supports you during the application.
