Reducing bureaucracy: efficiently handling terminations and administrative procedures
Before you leave Germany, there are some bureaucratic tasks you need to take care of. These include deregistering your residence, cancelling insurance policies and contracts, as well as other official procedures. Early planning and organisation of these tasks is crucial to avoid stress and unnecessary costs. The checklist from Abmelden.de provides a good overview of the key steps.
Tenancy agreement and handover of the apartment: Make sure you adhere to the three-month notice period for your tenancy agreement. Submit a formal written notice with your handwritten signature. During the handover of the apartment, you should create a handover report with photos and videos to document the condition of the apartment and prevent any later disputes. This documentation can help you assert your claims and fend off unjustified demands.
Deregistering at the Citizens' Office: Deregistering your residence is mandatory and should be done no sooner than 7 days before and no later than 14 days after your departure to avoid fines. You will need the deregistration confirmation to cancel various insurance policies and contracts. Schedule this appointment in good time to avoid unnecessary stress. The checklist from the city of Berlin provides a detailed overview of this.
Cancelling insurance policies and contracts: Cancel your health insurance, car insurance, and liability insurance. Present the deregistration confirmation when cancelling. Also, cancel your electricity, gas, telephone, and internet contracts. Be mindful of the notice periods of 4-6 weeks. Remember to cancel the GEZ (broadcasting licence fee) with the deregistration confirmation. Further information on cancelling contracts can be found in our article on emigration preparation.
Other important official procedures: Deregister child benefit with the family benefits office to avoid claims for repayment. Inform the Job Centre about your emigration to prevent legal consequences. Also inform the housing benefit office if you receive housing benefit. These steps are important to ensure you do not receive any unauthorised benefits and avoid legal issues.
Creating Financial Security: Keeping an Eye on Bank Accounts and Taxes
Solid financial preparation is a crucial factor for a successful emigration. This includes sorting out bank accounts, tax aspects, and financial security in the destination country. Good planning will help you avoid financial surprises and keep your finances under control. The Sparkasse offers a helpful checklist with tips and costs around emigration.
Managing Bank Accounts
Keep your German bank account for at least 6 months after emigration to receive security deposits or tax refunds. Check options for account transfer or closure. Open a bank account in the destination country to facilitate your financial transactions locally. A local bank account is often necessary to receive salaries, pay bills, and participate in the local economy. Gather information on the different banks and account models in the destination country to find the right offer for your needs.
Consider Tax Aspects
Permanently retain your tax identification number (Steuer-ID). Learn about double taxation agreements to avoid paying tax in two countries. Seek the advice of a tax consultant to clarify your tax situation and avoid potential tax pitfalls. Tax regulations can vary greatly depending on the destination country, so professional advice is essential. For more information on tax aspects, see our article on emigration and what to consider.
Planning Financial Security
Calculate the costs of moving, living expenses, and potential loans in the destination country. Explore financing options for purchasing property abroad. Take out international health insurance to be protected in the event of illness. Comprehensive financial planning gives you the security of being financially covered even in difficult times. Consider unforeseen expenses as well and set up an emergency fund.
Secure documents: Obtain certifications and translations on time
Compiling and preparing all necessary documents is a crucial step when emigrating. These include your passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, school and training certificates, as well as employment contracts. Ensure that all documents are complete and valid. The Checklists of Deutsche im Ausland e.V. provide a detailed overview of the required documents.
Gather important documents
Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your planned stay. Gather birth certificate, marriage certificate, school and training certificates. Prepare employment contracts, qualifications, and a police clearance certificate. Remember to include your vaccination record and medical documents. Having complete documentation will ease your interactions with authorities in the destination country and avoid unnecessary delays. It is advisable to make copies of all important documents and keep them separate from the originals.
Obtain certified translations
Have certified translations of all important documents made. Find out about the requirements for certifications and translations in the destination country. Certified translations are often necessary for presenting documents to authorities and institutions in the destination country. Ensure that the translations are done by a recognized translator. The information from Workwide.de emphasizes the importance of certified translations for essential documents.
Secure forms for social benefits
Obtain the PDU1 form from the employment agency to document your insurance and employment periods. Apply for the PDU2 form to receive unemployment benefit I for up to 6 months while in the EU. These forms are important for claiming your social benefit entitlements in the destination country. Find out in good time about the requirements and deadlines for applying for these benefits. It is advisable to contact the employment agency early to clarify all necessary steps.
Ensure a Smooth Move: Plan Logistics and Transport Optimally
The organisation of a move is a complex process that requires careful planning and coordination. This includes choosing a suitable moving company, clarifying the customs regulations, and transporting pets. Good preparation will help you make the move stress-free and ensure that your belongings arrive safely and on time in the destination country. At GoMovin, we are happy to assist you in planning and executing your move. Find more information on our Moving Assistance page.
Selecting a Moving Company and Comparing Quotes
Obtain quotes from various moving companies early and compare them. Consider their experience, services (including relocation services), and references. Calculate the costs for transporting your belongings. A professional moving company can take a lot of work off your hands and ensure that your move runs smoothly. Make sure the company holds a valid licence and insurance. We provide you with comprehensive support in choosing the right moving company and coordinating your move. Our relocation services also include assistance in finding housing and integrating in the destination country.
Clarifying Customs Regulations and Creating an Inventory List
Inform yourself about the customs regulations of the destination country. Create a detailed inventory list of your belongings. Customs regulations can vary greatly depending on the destination country. A detailed inventory list helps you keep track and ease the customs process. Learn in advance about the import regulations for certain items to avoid issues upon entry. We are happy to support you in clarifying customs regulations and creating the inventory list.
Transporting Pets Safely
Obtain an EU pet passport for your pets including proof of rabies vaccination and microchip identification. Observe the specific entry requirements of the destination country. Transporting pets requires careful planning and preparation. Inform yourself in advance about the entry requirements for pets in the destination country and ensure all necessary vaccinations and documents are available. We are happy to help you organise the transport of your pets and compliance with the entry requirements.
Accelerate integration: Register and make social connections
Upon your arrival in the destination country, various registrations and official procedures are required. These include registering your new place of residence, applying for tax and social security numbers, and securing health insurance. Completing these tasks swiftly and efficiently will smooth your transition into your new life. In addition to these bureaucratic tasks, social integration is also a crucial factor for a successful emigration. The GoMovin emigration assistance supports you every step of the way.
Completing Registrations and Official Procedures
Register at your new place of residence. Apply for tax and social security numbers. Take out health insurance. Open a local bank account. These steps are necessary to participate in public life in the destination country and to fulfil your rights and responsibilities. Make sure to learn about the relevant authorities and the necessary documents in advance. We are happy to assist you in completing these tasks and navigating the bureaucratic maze.
Promoting Social Integration
Attend language courses to learn the local language. Connect with locals and other expats. Consider cultural differences and adapt. Social integration is vital for your well-being and quality of life in the destination country. Participate in local events, join clubs, and get involved in the community. We are happy to help you network with other expats and integrate into the local culture.
Finding Accommodation in the Destination Country
Start your search for accommodation in the destination country in good time. Compare rental prices and living costs. Finding accommodation can be challenging, especially in big cities. Familiarise yourself with the different districts and residential areas and look for a place that meets your needs and budget. We are happy to assist you in your search for accommodation and in viewing properties. Our relocation services also include supporting you with renting a property and handling all formalities.
Optimising Personal Preparation: Planning Health and Farewells
In addition to the bureaucratic and organisational aspects, personal preparation is also a key factor for a successful emigration. This includes health precautions, farewells to family and friends, and personal organisation. Good preparation helps you to emotionally adjust to the move and ease the transition into a new life. The Foreign Office's information provides a good basis for your planning.
Take health precautions
Undergo medical examinations and vaccinations. Compile medical records and a list of medications. Take out international health insurance. Your health should be your top priority. Ensure you have all necessary vaccinations and that your medical records are complete. International health insurance protects you from high costs in case of illness. We are happy to assist you in choosing the right health insurance and organising your medical care.
Plan farewells and maintain relationships
Say goodbye to family and friends. Maintain important relationships. Saying farewell to your loved ones can be emotionally challenging. Take your time to say goodbye and nurture your relationships. Stay in touch via phone, email, or social media. Visit your family and friends whenever possible. We are happy to help you organise farewell parties and plan visits.
Complete personal organisation
Notify about address changes. Cancel subscriptions and memberships. Submit a forwarding request with Deutsche Post. Good personal organisation helps you stay on top and ensures you don't forget important things. Inform all the relevant authorities about your address change and cancel any subscriptions or memberships you no longer need. We are happy to assist you with the organisation of your personal affairs and the completion of any formalities.
