Visa Regulations and Residence Permits
For non-EU nationals, applying for a visa and a residence permit is essential. According to information from the BAMF (Federal Office for Migration and Refugees), you need a residence permit that corresponds to your purpose of stay. The BAMF offers comprehensive information and migration advice to support you in this process. Note that you generally need a visa to enter, which you must apply for at the German embassy or consulate in your home country. After entering, you must then apply for a residence permit at the foreigners' office if your stay exceeds the validity of the visa. GoMovin helps you understand the necessary steps and submit the correct applications.
Administrative tasks: Efficiently registering in Germany
After your move to Germany, certain administrative steps are essential. These registrations are important to secure your legal stay and participate in social life. We at GoMovin assist you in making these processes as efficient as possible.
