Starnberg - Refugees from Ukraine who are willing to work should be able to work as quickly as possible.

The district office issues a temporary residence permit with a work permit to all those entitled to do so.

“In a feat of strength, we entered the data of more than 1,300 refugees from the Ukraine who are now living with us in the central register of foreigners.

Now we will issue the work permits as quickly as possible and give priority to cases in which we are already aware of an imminent employment relationship," explains District Administrator Stefan Frey in a current press release.

"So if you need a work permit quickly, please send an e-mail to the address ukraine-arbeit@lra-starnberg.de.

Then we will process them preferentially.”

Priority will be given to those who have work prospects

49 work permits have so far been issued by the immigration authorities to refugees from Ukraine who are of working age.

“After all, 725 refugees between the ages of 18 and 67 are currently accommodated in the district, including many women with children in need of care.

We definitely assume that there will be a few people who are willing to work.

If you want to work, you should be able to.

It must not fail because of the necessary work permit," says District Administrator Frey.

In principle, the Ukrainian (biometric) passport is required for the issuance of a work permit.

An employment contract is not required for this.

The district office has set up a separate e-mail address so that the examination and issue can be carried out quickly.

After verification by the immigration authorities, the fictional certificate is usually sent by post.

Therefore, it is important that the mailbox of the accommodation shows the surname of the refugee.
