If you have not yet reached the age of 25 and want to complete qualified vocational training in Germany, but still have not found a training position, you can obtain an extension of your residence permit to seek training if you meet certain requirements.
Make sure that the residence permit is issued for a maximum of six months. An extension of your residence permit is only possible if this 6-month period has not yet been exhausted. The extension must be applied for in good time before the expiry date of your previous residence permit.
If you have already been in possession of a six-month residence permit, the residence permit can only be issued again if you have stayed abroad after leaving Germany for at least as long as you have previously stayed in Germany to seek training.
The residence permit will be issued again for a limited period, but for no longer than a total of six months.
