A new home, even if only temporary, should be a pleasant retreat and fulfil as many individual requirements as possible. To this end, we research suitable properties, whether furnished for the transition or for permanent rental with your own furniture. We will pick you up, accompany you to viewings and assist you with the contracts.

We will accompany you to these appointments

Anyone in possession of a foreign driving licence (non-EU and EEA contracting states) may drive in Germany for 6 months from the date of entry. Anyone wishing to stay in Germany for longer than 6 months must convert their driving licence into a German driving licence if they wish to continue driving in Germany.

We help with the application.

There are plenty of registrations at your new place of residence. Apart from the first and most important one, the one at the residents' registration office, there are many others. At the energy supplier, the telephone company, a financial institution for financial matters, at school and kindergarten for family matters, for subscriptions of all kinds and much more.

We provide advice, guidance and support.

Settling In
Orientation

There are many authorities, i.e. official bodies responsible for various areas, and many of these authorities have to be visited in person. It's good to know that you have a companion at your side who is familiar with them and can provide expert advice and support in all matters relating to these visits to the authorities.

We won't leave you on your own.

A chapter in itself, even if it is basically quite simple. Applying for visas, work permits and/or temporary or permanent immigration are also procedures carried out by the authorities - but they require expertise and sometimes perseverance in the process. We can help with introductions, applications and forms. 

We know this procedure inside out.

Sometimes there are good reasons to complain about something not going as agreed. When it comes to us, we are always understanding and co-operative. When it comes to third parties, we are the partner and supporter of our clients. We clarify the facts, mediate and - if necessary - lodge a complaint in the case.

We act on your behalf.

Move out
Departure

You have concluded contracts for the duration of your residence here, all of which must now be cancelled. It is best to cancel them in good time so that you can return to your home country without any avoidable additional charges. The tenancy agreement with the energy supplier, GEZ and subscriptions for print and online media, school, kindergarten ...

We keep the overview and help.

Deregistration at the residents' registration office is an important step in this process. The other deregistrations should also be completed on time and are sometimes associated with a few other obligations. In the case of deregistration/cancellation from the energy supplier, for example, reading and documenting the meter readings.

We do this together with you.

Not a big chapter, but important nonetheless. For example, your mail, which is still being delivered to your old address for a certain period of time, should be forwarded to you. You may have subscribed to something here that you would like to continue receiving, or you may still have to deal with official procedures in this matter.

We also help with these processes.
