Claiming ALG 1 from outside of Germany

OK i know this has prob been done in another thread but I'm feeling lazy today

Does anyone know what the score is in regards to claiming ALG1 outside of Germany for example if i decided to go to England to look for a job? I know i must inform the proper people but im after any info in regards to how long i can claim etc.

I don't know if it's still the same but it used to be the form E303 that you had to ask for at the Arbeitsamt.

you have to have been unemployed in Germany already and receiving unemployment benefits. Then you have to go to the Arbeitsagentur and convince them why your chances to find a job are better in the UK than here.
If you could convince them, they will give oyu a permit to go 3 month to the UK with full German benefits. After that time you may return to Germany and continue to receive your benefits (within the normal timeframe) or you'll find a job over there and then inform the authorities here.

Cheerio

What could be of use or the Arbeitsamt may even ask for it is that you show proof of a job interview.That would certainly help your case

Cheers, many thanks for the info

May I ask for your advice regarding other ways of informing AA about a possible personal interview outside Germany other than going personally to the main office? The interview will only last 3 days and the location is still part of the EU and Schengen states.

Can I inform them through email? so that I can able to translate first before sending it to them.

Is this 3 days absence in the country will somehow affects my unemployment benefits?

I am not still good with the German language and I really have a terrible experience dealing with the personnel. I used to have someone who is very good with the language and happened to accompany me with my previous transactions. But unfortunately, not at this point of time.

Thank you for any help.
