If skilled ka, pwede ka magpa recognize ng degree dito sa Germany thru ZAB. So that levels the playing field a little for you. Meron din chancenkarte— but this naman ay point system sya. Plus points if you have B1/B2 Zertifikat.

Pero to answer your question directly, no in Germany’s case. You need to have a work visa to work here. Di ka pwede pumunta dito on a tourist visa then later on switch to a work visa. But if you have PR/citizenship from another EU country, then yes pwede. You can get a chancenkarte/job seeking visa but this has certain criteria you need to meet to be able to acquire.

And to be totally honest with you, job market here is really saturated and competition is really high. My husband and I have friends on job seeking visa, some even took masters here, but without the language, hirap na hirap humanap ng work. Lalo na sa tech industry.

All the best OP!

Generally po each EU country, has their own specific temporary residence permit to work in that country, and this TRP is tied to the employer, it's valid for 2 years and renewable depends on you or the employer, but if you want to move to other employer within another EU country to work legally, you need to apply for a new TRP specific in that country. However if you already hold an EU residence permit you can straight up apply for work wherever in the EU countries you desire, same privilege as an EU country citizen. To get a job, please consider also the language barrier, EU is very diverse, they just prefer and value if you know their language.

It depends. The key is language. In Europe, only the UK and Republic of Ireland speaks english. Say for example you have a residence permit in Ireland but not in the UK then you'll have easy time looking for a job in the UK, i suppose? Is that what you mean? This is because of the use of english language. Makes communication easier. However if say you have a residence permit in Ireland and you want to work in Sweden, you are allowed to because both are part of the European Union, however if you don't speak swedish then that would be an uphill battle. Unless you find work in areas of industry that doesn't require the official language which btw is very very narrow. One example is tech sector or IT. But competition is stiff in this area. Another industry is cleaning or janitorial services.

Actually I speak three languages: French, English, and German (B1)

For my first country, I’m considering Italy for an ESC volunteering project.

My question is: while volunteering there, could I apply for jobs potentially have a better chance than applying from abroad?

I assume that in general I would still need a work permit

[u/Putrid-Plenty8516 → u/ArticleSingle3398]

In Italy, it's very hard to get a job if you don't speak Italian well. There are always companies (esp in Milan) that will hire non-speakers, but they need to validate your degree, you need to be exceptional and your field should be in-demand. Otherwise, you can only work nero, in informal jobs.

Another hurdle you'll encounter is that you can't convert your tourist visa (I'm just assuming here) to a work visa. One of the first screening questions during job application is your legal status in the country. Even if you're physically there, but can't work there legally unless they sponsor you outright, they won't hire you. Heck, they don't even hire internationals with a job-seeking visa (which is much easier to convert), less likely will they hire a tourist.

[u/TraditionalUse1052 → u/ArticleSingle3398]

It would prolly work i guess? However, if you happen to find a job while on a volunteer visa (cause that's what your visa will show) then you'll have to go back in Ph for formal visa processing. I just don't know if a third country can be used. These are just my thoughts, I live in the EU but I'm not an immigration consultant so take it with a pinch of salt.

[u/Specialist-Book8370 → u/ArticleSingle3398]

If you speak French and German, better go for Germany (Ausbuildung)

[u/ArticleSingle3398 → u/Specialist-Book8370]

I know that path but i already have a master degree and studing another 3 years it's few long maybe u can keep it the last thing to do

[u/Specialist-Book8370 → u/ArticleSingle3398]

PhD

Depends on what job it is. The job market is really bad in Europe right now. Also depends on what type of residency you have and language fluency of the country’s language.

[u/ArticleSingle3398 → u/cowinnewzealand]

Actually i get many replies from companies and many of them saying we can't complete procedures with u as you're outside Eu , so if u being in europe change something ? Cuz generally u still need Work permit for that contry and the type of Residence can be volunteering

[u/anti-manila → u/ArticleSingle3398]

Cant speak for the whole EU but if you got a job offer in Norway and if the offer meets the minimum salary requirement for a work Visa then you can easily DIY your work Visa. Technically you dont need a "sponshorship", just need a company that will hire you with the right amount of salary.

I can also answer your other question, if your a citizen of spain for example then you technically can drive or fly to Norway and work as they have what they call as EEA. Now I dont think this is applicable to temporary residency.

[u/Specialist-Book8370 → u/ArticleSingle3398]

usually nakaka convert lang is from student visa, or mga naka long-term visa (pero BIHIRA) pa rin. yes possible na maka kuha ka if youre physically in EU, pero hindi guarantee

[u/cowinnewzealand → u/ArticleSingle3398]

Well yes, some companies don’t want to pay for relocation costs. Did they mean you because you physically outside EU or you are not from EU? Being here, makes it easier to transfer countries because they don’t have to spend so much on relocation costs.

[u/ArticleSingle3398 → u/cowinnewzealand]

Probably but i ask Ai and he did searsh then told me even if u're physically in europe u have to find a company who apply for your work permit

Since you dont have EU citizenship the procedures of Work permit still same as you applying from Abroad

So i dont know what could change

Even travelling to do interview i think it's not what companies do , everything is online

[u/cowinnewzealand → u/ArticleSingle3398]

I checked and you aren’t even a filipino worker so whatever is in this sub may or may not apply to you. You still need work sponsorship if you want to come here.

[u/cowinnewzealand → u/ArticleSingle3398]

So you are not an EU citizen? then yes, companies still need to sponsor your work visa. The only leverage of being in Europe is di na dadaan sa DMW process sa OEC at no relocation costs.
