Working in Frankfurt


Frankfurt is the financial, commercial and industrial capital of Germany and along with Paris and London, one of the major banking and financial centres of Europe, boasting over 400 banks and financial institutions as well as the Frankfurt Stock Exchange - the largest in Germany. This makes the work environment a competitive, professional, fast-paced and demanding one.

Most expatriates typically work in the financial, banking, and business industries, and particularly with international employers that are building their presence in Germany.

You are required to have a work visa commencing employment. This can be applied for at the German consulate in your country. EU Nationals need not worry about residency and work permits in Frankfurt.
