There is a limit on how many hours you can work - part-time (no more than four hours per day) - but no limits on how much you could potentially earn. That's determined only by you and the employer, so good luck with negotiations!

It will be granted for a maximum period of 12 months, but there will be no restrictions to renew it when the time is due. It will cost you 35€.
