Trade Fair Assignments

The employment of foreign staff at trade fairs requires prior notification or a permit. Relevant information is available here.

Trade fair assignments are subject to the 8-day rule, see Foreign Nationals and Integration Act (Fnia) and the Ordinance on Admission, Residence and Gainful Employment (VZAE-Weisungen) paragraph 4.8.6.2.1 in German only).

Longer trade-fair assignments are subject to the notification procedure or require a work permit.
