Your Relocation Guide:
7 Key Areas to Focus On

We simplify complex bureaucracy into clear categories — explore each section
to understand what’s essential for a successful transition.

After arriving in Germany, the first thing
you will need is accommodation.
However, finding an apartment
is only the first step.

Key Requirements

Meet the landlord’s
requirements

Register your address (Anmeldung)
within two weeks

Возможные трудности

German landlords often request proof of income,
references from previous rentals, and sometimes even a credit history.

Without registration, you won’t be able to:

  • open a bank account
  • obtain health insurance
  • start a job

After arriving in Germany, you will
need to obtain several critically important
documents
required almost everywhere.

Key Requirements

Anmeldebescheinigung — residence registration certificate (required in most official procedures)

Steuer-ID — tax identification number (required for employment, banking, and taxes)

Sozialversicherungsnummer — social security number (if employed)

Certified translations and legalization of foreign documents (diplomas, marriage certificates, etc.)

Why It Can Be Complicated

  • Documents often depend on one another
  • The process requires following the correct sequence
  • Foreign documents may require official translation
  • Mistakes can lead to delays of several months

If You’re Relocating with Children,
the German Education System
Requires Special Attention

School System

  • Children start primary school at the age of 6
  • You need to choose a school and submit documents in advance (usually 3–6 months before enrollment)
  • Each federal state has its own deadlines and requirements
  • Different types of schools are available (public, private, specialized programs)

Kindergartens (Kita)

  • Waiting lists are long — registration is
    required several months in advance
  • Places are limited, especially in large cities
  • Fees depend on family income (typically €300–800 per month)

Possible Challenges

  • Language barrier for the child (usually improves within 3–6 months)
  • Differences in curriculum and teaching approach
  • Requirement to recognize foreign diplomas and certificates

  • A technical inspection (TÜV) at an authorized center is mandatory
  • Insurance is required (usually third-party liability — Haftpflicht)

Driver’s License

  • Foreign driver’s licenses often require official recognition
  • In some cases, you may need to retake the driving test
  • Certified German translations may be required

If You Are Buying a Car in Germany

  • Be aware of vehicle taxes and fees (Kfz-Steuer)
  • Know where to find reliable sellers (dealerships or private sellers)
  • Check the vehicle’s history carefully

Health Insurance in Germany Is
Not Optional — It Is a Legal Requirement

Mandatory Insurance

  • Public health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenkasse) — usually more affordable for employees
  • Private health insurance (private Krankenversicherung) — typically for high earners and the self-employed

Pension Insurance
(Rentenversicherung)

Accident Insurance
(Unfallversicherung)

Social Benefits (Where Applicable)

  • Unemployment benefit (Arbeitslosengeld) —
    if you lose your job
  • Support from the Employment Agency (Agentur für Arbeit)
  • Social assistance (Bürgergeld) — if you have insufficient income

Common Challenges

  • The system is complex and requires understanding of German regulations
  • Choosing the wrong type of insurance can lead to financial issues
  • It is crucial to register for insurance immediately after arrival

Beyond Standard Procedures —
Unexpected Situations Often Arise
When Relocating

Common Questions That Arise

  • How to obtain a visa for a family member who remains in another country?
  • What to do if your employer requests a document you do not yet have?
  • How to relocate with pets? (documents, vaccinations, quarantine)
  • What tax obligations apply to foreigners?
  • Is it possible to transfer a pension from another country?
  • How to apply for social assistance or benefits?
  • What to do if issues arise with a government authority?

Why Professional Consultation Matters

  • Every situation is unique and requires an individual approach
  • Mistakes may lead to rejections, employment issues, or loss of benefits
  • The German system often requires knowledge of procedures and nuances

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to order a service — before or after relocation?

It is best to contact us in advance, ideally 3–4 months before your planned move. Before relocation, we assist with key steps: preparing documents for visas/residence permits, finding temporary housing, opening a blocked account, selecting insurance, and conducting a preliminary job or study program search. This saves you time and money and significantly reduces relocation stress. After arrival, we support your integration: residence registration, assistance in finding permanent housing, insurance setup, kindergarten/school arrangements, and consultations on taxes and everyday matters. Our recommendation: start with a consultation before relocation to anticipate and avoid common mistakes.

How to open a bank account and what is required?

You can open an account remotely before moving (blocked account for a visa) or after arrival (standard current account).

  1. A valid passport; Proof of address in Germany (later — registration certificate, Anmeldebestätigung)
  2. Visa or residence permit
  3. Selection of a bank. Submit an application online or by visiting a branch.

Our support: We help choose the right type of account, assist in gathering documents, completing applications, and provide consultations on banking products in Germany.

How to search for and rent housing — what to consider when signing a lease agreement?

You can search via popular platforms (ImmobilienScout24, WG-Gesucht), local newspapers, or real estate agencies (Makler). In large cities, competition is very high.

  1. Duration and terms
  2. Inventory report (Übergabeprotokoll)
  3. Rules regarding repairs, cleaning of common areas, and subletting
  4. Termination conditions

Our support: We assist with the housing search, review lease agreements for potential risks, accompany you to viewings, and conduct negotiations with landlords.

Is health insurance required in Germany and how is it arranged?

Yes, health insurance in Germany is mandatory for all residents.

How to arrange it: After registration in Germany or even before relocation (for visa purposes). For a residence permit, proof of insurance is required.

  1. Public health insurance (gesetzliche Krankenversicherung, GKV) — for most employees. Covers a basic package of services and family members.
  2. Private health insurance (private Krankenversicherung, PKV) — for self-employed individuals, civil servants, and high-income employees. Premiums depend on age and health condition.

Our support: We help select the optimal insurance type, assist with the application process, and provide guidance on how to use the system during the first months in Germany.

What support programs and benefits are available for immigrants?

Germany offers various types of support:

  1. Integration courses (Integrationskurs): Language and orientation courses, often funded by the state.
  2. Unemployment benefits (Arbeitslosengeld I/II): For those actively seeking employment, subject to eligibility requirements.
  3. Child benefit (Kindergeld): Approximately €250 per child per month.
  4. Education and housing benefits (BAföG, Wohngeld): For students and low-income households.
  5. Specialized programs: For example, Start-Up programs for entrepreneurs and the EU Blue Card for highly qualified professionals.

Our support: We analyze your individual situation, identify available programs, assist with document preparation for benefit applications, and accompany you to appointments with authorities (Jobcenter, Familienkasse).
