contract-law european-union germany breach-of-contract
Can I sign multiple job contracts with different German companies?
<p>I'm from a non-EU country, I have received some Job contracts from Germany. 
Is it possible to sign them all, so in any case, I will not be without a contract if I lose one? What is the legality behind doing that? 
And what if I want to cancel a contract: do I need to send them my resignation but they still need to accept it. 
Thanks</p>

<p>Don't do it. It is of course breach of contract when you signed a contract with no intention to fulfil it. </p>

<p>However, you are talking about Germany. German employers take a very dim view of this. While a UK employer would say "good riddance" and do nothing, many German employers would see that as a personal insult. It's something that you just don't do in Germany. There's a good chance that they will do what they can to make you miserable if you do this. For example, inform authorities that you just cancelled your contract which may get a visa cancelled. Or tell the company that you want to start with, which will also take a very dim view of this. Or sue you for damages, not because they want to get the money, but to make you miserable.</p>

<p>On the other hand, if they send you a contract, and you sign it, you have a contract. </p>
