right to work

Does the ``Confirmation of the receipt of your online application for a residence permit for war refugees from Ukraine`` gives immediate rights for official employment with a German company?

thanks.

Hello @Ruslana , if you have applied for a residence permit according to Section 24 of the Residence Act, you are allowed to work. You should receive a so called "Fiktionsbescheinigung" from your local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde) which states that you can work. That paper should state “Erwerbstätigkeit gestattet” (i.e., "Employment permitted"). That means you can work as an employee or become self-employed. You are entitled to this once you have applied for a residence permit in accordance with Section 24 of the Residence Act, have undergone identification procedures and are staying in Germany. You can also find useful information on our Ukraine page, we have a whole chapter on the topic "Work" https://handbookgermany.de/en/ukraine-info?themes=work#lc-start Please let me know if further questions arise, I am always happy to help. Best wishes Yara
