Germany is known as the country of rules.

When moving to Germany you will need to consider a lot of bureaucratical steps to establish residency in Germany and be able to work, live and enter into contracts smoothly. We call the services around this bureaucracy "Settle-In Packages".

Some of these steps are more important to your future employer than others, which are of purely private importance. Accordingly, we have distinguished the "Business Package" and the "Private Admin Package". You can choose packages as well as individual services.

Moreover, we have compiled a lot of super helpful articles in our Relocation Guide, which will give you extensive background information about the diverse bureaucratical steps to handle.

BUSINESS ADMIN Package

The Business Admin Package is always recommended because it makes sure that Payroll Accounting has all necessary data as soon as possible.

  • The registration not only initializes the tax id, it is also required for the residence title application. It is further prerequisite of contracting many services. We will prepare you for the appointment, make the reservation where possible and accompany you to townhall registration. We will furhter explain the implication of tax classes and what to do once the family joins you. Likewise, we will explain and support with the public broadcasting fee (GEZ).
  • We inform about the banking system in Germany and help setting up a regular salary account as well as a security deposit account if applicable. We search for branches with English speaking customer management and accompany to the appointment.
  • Understanding and signing-up for the German Social Security System, especially healthcare, is the third vital topic to take care of. We will explain the system and the implications on your payroll, we can sign you up with selected public healthcare insurers offering VIP services to our clients. We also cooperate with an independent insurance broker who has built a special Expat Department. There are only very few insurers offering English service. Should you decide for one without English service, the broker will support in case of claims. Our broker is also the right person to advise you on private healthcare.

PRIVATE ADMIN Package

The Private Admin Package supports you and your family with your private administrative tasks to perform once in Germany. You can book these services individually or as a package deal. They comprise everyting from driving license to dog registration or search for specific doctors.
