A: Having refugee status and a Geneva Passport in one EU country generally grants you certain rights within that specific country. However, when it comes to working in another EU country, like Germany, the rules can vary. Typically, if you want to work in another EU country, you would need to apply for the necessary permits and fulfill any requirements set by that country, even if you hold refugee status in another EU nation. In your case, with refugee status in Poland, you cannot automatically work in Germany without going through the proper channels. It would be prudent to consult with a local immigration attorney in Germany to understand the specific requirements and processes you'd need to follow to work there legally. They can provide guidance tailored to your situation and the current regulations in place.
