Important information for immigrants

We are pleased that you and your family are here. The first steps in Germany can be overwhelming. On the following pages, we will provide you with some information that might help you through your first few weeks in Germany.

We know from experience that despite this information, it is difficult to understand everything and take action independently. Therefore, it is important that you seek help. We have compiled all the possibilities available to you for finding support and advice nearby on the “Advice” page.

The information on the following pages is right for you if you have arrived in Germany through resettlement. This is so if your residence permit or notification of admission states Section 23 (4) AufenthG (German Residence Act).

We also have a paragraph for the relatives of persons immigrating to Germany through resettlement. There you will find information if you would like to make sure that your relatives are accommodated near you after arriving in Germany.
