1. You need to be willing to speak German. Your grammar and spelling skills are less important than your willingness to speak and understand German. Can you imagine ordering food in a restaurant, buying a train ticket, asking for directions, or chatting with strangers in a bar in German? If so, you’re in the right place!
2. You must be a student at an official university or college. If you are not an EU citizen, you will need the following to apply for a Schengen visa: a valid passport, 2 passport photos, international health insurance with at least €30,000 coverage, proof of enrollment, and confirmation of your semester break. For the visa, you will need to visit the German embassy in your home country twice and also prove that you have enough funds to travel to Germany and back. Many international students come to us through agencies that also assist with accommodation, travel arrangements, and the visa application process.

We do not provide on-site housing at BELANTIS, so students need to find a vacation apartment, temporary worker accommodation, a shared flat, or a short-term rental.

By the way, to get from your accommodation to your workplace, we offer a free loaner bike or a job ticket for Leipzig and the surrounding area, which allows you to travel cheaply by bus and train in Leipzig.

You will receive a short-term employment contract and earn €14.46 per hour, plus €3.50 for each day of attendance. If you speak German well and can, for example, work at the cash register, your hourly wage increases to €15.48.

Your salary is paid monthly on the 10th, so on July 10th you would receive the pay for June. We also cover your social security contributions, so your gross pay is your net pay.
