You can extend your temporary residence permit for freelancers if you wish to continue working as a freelancer in Germany.

To extend your residence permit, you must meet the same requirements as when you were first granted a residence permit.

Freelance activities include self-employed scientific, artistic, literary, teaching, educational or other self-employed professional activities in accordance with Section 18 (1) of the Income Tax Act (e.g. self-employed doctors, notaries, tax consultants).

If necessary, you must currently submit another professional license.
