Most expats coming to Germany will require some type of visa to enter or stay in Germany, but navigating the information around the visa requirements, like most German bureaucracy, is complicated.

Our team is able to provide you information on eligibility for health insurances, as well as some guidance on visa requirements. However, we are not visa specialists and, in some more complex cases, we recommend reaching out to an immigration specialist in order to assist you further and help support you through your immigration process.

For such cases, we recommend reaching out to Fiona McDonald, an immigration specialist located in Berlin (but offers online consultations).
