Is it legal to work in one european country (Germany) part time and get a Stipend to study in a different country?
Hello everyone! I currently work full-time in Germany, however from the coming October I was awarded a Stipend to study in another european Country and do a Research Masters. My employer allowed me to reduce my working hours to 2days/ week and live in this other country until I finish my Masters, which will take approximately 10 months (from October to July).
It is necessary for me to get the Stipend, because if I dont, then I will have to pay the fees of the university and I cannot afford to do that when only working 2days/week. In the country where I will be studying the Stipend is Tax Free (even if you have another job on top of it). Now, I dont mind paying taxes if I need to. I am just wondering how I should handle this very complex tax situation and if it is even legal to keep my job in Germany and temporarily study (and get paid for it) in another european country. Quitting my job is not an option because I am in the middle of a very important project and they said that they dont know if they can wait until I finish with my studies to rehire me.
Has anyone been in a similar situation and know how to navigate something like this? Does anyone know if this is legal?
