Hi all!
Time again to maneuver my way around the German system & I'm in need of some guidance.
Basic Stats:
Visa currently being renewed for another year as a Full-timer. 3rd Renewal now, done on a yearly basis.
Permanent Contract.
Non-EU (NZ)
Situation:
Some time in the new year I wish to drop down to about 20hrs per week and hope, if possible, to pick up the hours elsewhere.
Questions:
What are the implications of no-longer being a fulltime employee for my designated employer on my Visa status?
Am I able to work for another employer, even if my work-visa is linked to a different one for which I still work (albeit part-time)?
How does one handle Health Insurance payments and the like when working part-time?
Many thanks all for your time.

Going from full-time to part-time on a 1 yr permit
Does my visa stay valid? And can I work elsewhere?
Needed to bump this up, as I have a slight change of circumstances requiring some fast action on my part. Its a rather unique situation (as above) , so I'm appealing to anyone out there with some similar experience they can share with me.
I've been offered another job for 20 hours per week. I'm willing to chuck my old job however I can in order to move into this new one.
Q.
Can I hold 2 jobs, even if my work visa is tied to just the one?
My potential employer said he could give me a 'Frame Contract' promising me a certain number of hours as a freelancer, but I hear working as a freelancer here is more stress than its worth to set up. Anyone had experience with this?
My guess is that I'll need to quit one job in order to be legal to work at the other. In which case the new job would need to give me a permanent contract.
Would 20 hours a week warrant a new work permit being issued?
As a NZ citizen, I hear we don't need to have our applications routed through the 'Argentur für Arbeit' as some other nations do, which makes the application process far simpler. Anyone had success with this method or is it a myth?
Many thanks if anyone can help at all!
