Hi there,

Unfortunately your chances of obtaining unskilled work in Germany are relatively low. This is because of rather high unemployment rates in the EU and strict visa laws which require German employers to look for local workers to employ rather than giving jobs to those from outside the EU. You can have a look at our page on Work Permits for Germany for more details.

It might be worth looking for jobs in non-EU countries as the freedom of movement granted by EU membership gives EU citizens a big boost when it comes to their chances of securing a job vs non-EU citizens.
