Relocation support for leaving Germany
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Germany!
“Welcome to Anders Consulting Relocation Service! My name is Anja, and I am thrilled to accompany you on your journey to Germany. Moving to a new country is an exciting adventure, but it can also present its challenges. Here at Anders Consulting, we are dedicated to making your transition as smooth and stress-free as possible.
A common issue that newcomers face is finding accommodation. The German real estate market can be highly competitive, especially in larger cities. Our team has extensive experience and contacts to help you find the perfect home that meets your needs and budget.
Another significant matter is navigating the German bureaucratic system. From registering at the local city hall to opening a bank account, the administrative tasks can be complicated, especially if you’re not yet fluent in the language. Our team is here to simplify these processes for you, ensuring that you can complete all the necessary formalities without hassle.
Integrating into a new culture can also be a challenge. Germany has its own traditions, holidays, and social norms. We offer orientation and advice to ease your cultural transition, helping you feel at home quickly.
And lastly, there’s the language barrier. While many Germans speak English, learning German is immensely beneficial for daily life and integrating into the community. We can recommend language courses and provide tips on how to apply your language skills in everyday situations.
At Anders Consulting Relocation Service, we understand that every move is unique. That’s why we offer customized solutions tailored to your personal and professional needs. Our goal is not only to assist you in overcoming the typical problems that may arise upon arrival but also to enable you to fully enjoy your new life in Germany.
Welcome to your new adventure. You´ve got a Friend in Germany!”
10 lifehacks for your first 100 days in Germany
- Residence Permit and Work Authorization: One of your first priorities should be to ensure all necessary permits for residence and work in Germany are in order. It’s crucial to understand and comply with the specific requirements for a Blue Card EU or other types of visas offered to skilled workers.
- Social Security Number and Health Insurance: In Germany, it is mandatory for you to be covered by social insurance while working. This includes health, nursing care, pension, accident, and unemployment insurance. Having health insurance is also compulsory, and choosing between statutory and private health insurance depends on various factors, including your income.
- Registration at the Residents’ Registration Office: Within the first few weeks of your arrival, you must register at the Residents’ Registration Office (Einwohnermeldeamt) relevant to your place of residence. A valid passport and lease agreement are usually required for this registration.
- Opening a Bank Account: A German bank account is essential for your daily life in Germany, whether for transferring rent, receiving your salary, or everyday transactions.
- Tax Identification Number: To work in Germany, you need a tax identification number. This is automatically issued after you register with the Residents’ Registration Office and is required for handling your tax matters.
- Language Skills: Although many Germans speak English, knowing the German language greatly facilitates your integration. Basic German skills are helpful for everyday life, work, and interacting with authorities.
- Familiarization with Public Transportation: Getting acquainted with the public transportation system is important for your mobility and exploring your new environment.
- Cultural Integration: Developing an understanding of German culture and society is crucial for your successful integration. This includes understanding local customs, holidays, and social life.
- Networking: Building a professional and social network can help you settle in faster and find support in various aspects of your new life.
- Rights and Obligations as an Employee: It’s important for you to be informed about your rights and obligations in the workplace, including working hours, holiday entitlement, and protection against dismissal.
