Your Guide to Germany

Germany is a perfect tourist destination and a wonderful, peaceful country to settle down.

After living here for more than ten years, I can say that I do not regret moving here from the States.

Immigration to Germany can be easy

Germany is really popular these days, especially if you’re good at certain jobs or want to study there. They’ve made it easier to move there if you have skills in things like tech, medicine, or engineering. If you’re a skilled worker, you can get a special visa that lets you stay for a year to find a job. And believe me, it’s not too hard to bring your family along too. Plus, if you’re not from the European Union, you can start working in Germany right away. The assessment of your skills follows later. You can stay for up to three years if you can take care of yourself financially.

Finding a job in Germany can be a good move because they really need people in certain jobs. You just need to find a job first, then get a visa, and make sure you have enough money, health insurance, and know a little German. Germany has a great healthcare system, so you’ll be well taken care of.

If you’re a student, Germany is cool because you can study for free at their universities. You’ll need a student visa, and after you finish studying, you can stay a bit longer to find a job. Make sure you have all the right papers, like your university admission letter, proof you have enough money, and health insurance.

So, all in all, Germany is a great place to think about if you’re looking for new opportunities, whether it’s for work or study. They’ve made it pretty easy for skilled folks and students to make the move!
