International student with two Minijobs

Hi everyone,

I have a question about working as an international student with two jobs in Germany.

Currently, I have two Minijobs, and I would like to work around 80 hours per month in total (about 20 hours per week). My shifts are usually normal 4–5 hour shifts, and I understand that as a student, I should generally stay within the 20-hours-per-week limit during the semester.

My confusion is mainly about the employment status and taxation when combining two Minijobs. I want to keep both my Job and work legally.

I understand that if the combined income exceeds the Minijob limit, one of the jobs would likely need to be treated as a regular taxable student/part-time job, and I am completely fine with paying taxes and social contributions. I am not trying to avoid taxes or hide anything from the employers or the Minijob-Zentrale.

My questions are:

* Is it possible to convert one of the current Minijobs into a regular student/part-time position while keeping the other as a Minijob or another Job in tax class VI?
* Since both of my current contracts are Minijobs, how does this usually work in practice?
* How does this affect tax classes, health insurance, and social insurance?
* Do I need to inform both employers about the second job? (I assume yes.)
* Also, how difficult or expensive is it for an employer to change a Minijob into a Werkstudent/part-time position? Is it usually a simple process, or does it create significant extra costs/paperwork for the employer?

I would really appreciate any guidance or experiences from people who have been in a similar situation. Thank you!
