Moving to Germany: Everything You Need to Know 

Graciasss my friend!!

😅

Hey max!!!

Thank you very much Mati!

Go to all of them! hahahah they are all cool places

@@fernandotaboraI plan on it lmao I also plan to visit South Korea a couple times to, however rn got to focus on getting money, since I have been unemployed since December & been restricted on jobs especially now since I don’t have a vehicle & family is busy. Anyways just gotta try to fix things holding me back from moving, got some friends who will help me if I move to Germany or Switzerland so it’s nice of them. All I know is it’s gonna be better than USA overall. Especially quality of food not only life, if things work out well.

All the best!

How'd it go?

how is it?

Idk , that, but all I know is that Germany has a good quality of life, however, starting from the scratch, mmm not a good idea, it doesn’t matter if it’s European Serbian like me or us citizen, it’s not easy moving around the world without income or a job offer, I’m currently working with law enforcement, it doesn’t pay much here, but at least I have a paycheck and a roof over my head

For germany is high. Like most apartments now are around 1000 to 1500 probably 2k for 2 room apartments. Specially for students is very difficult. But I get it, is not high if you earn like 3k a month. But still other places in germany are just way cheaper.

Yeah man I feel you! Thank you for you comment and happy that the video helped 😎🙌🏻

It is a great mix! Love it here 🙌🏻😎

why are you everywhere on videos related to germany🤔💗

Thankfully is safe enough 😂 but you never know

Insane man! I think is pretty cool that you experienced it 💪🏻 and now germany! What a journey

Do you know the German, the language

Yes....sir!!

Me too. I’m glad I moved

@@AM-sx2lb dud what happed? What didn't work ? Can you share with the community

Thank you brou and all the best in your journey

Classic 😂

Wish you all the best

You know, I think my initial thought of german being unfriendly is a bit of a lie. I started counting my encounters with Germans and is a solid 2/10 some people will be a bit inpatient or a bit of angry karen, but most of the times is all good and nice. I also think we get a lot back from taxes, but we are just not aware. As a buisness owner myself, I see the amount of money that goes away, but in some things I do see a lot of benefits at the end of the day. Regarding activities, I think is all about personality. In winter I like going skiing or going to the Christmas markets or if you are in munich now more than ever there is an event. I feel you, but more and more I see why I want to stay here. Is all about keeping a Latin vibe and combining it with the german vibe ❤️

Thank you Darwing for you comment! And for sure 💪🏻

Most main cities in Germany should be walkable

Just learn as much german as possible before coming here

Ah thank you!

I have.....

You know, it has been changing lately, Germany is going through a lot of change at the moment

If you feel too scared to jump, then you should learn more about the jump. Understand it better and maybe do smaller jumps to build up confidence ;) then when you feel that you can do it. You do it 💪🏻 Just some thoughts, best of luck, and if you need help, there is a group ok IG where you can ask questions.

I am in a similar position and it can feel scary. Perhaps take some trips over there and get a good feeling for it and look up some online ex pat groups for the cities you're interested in. Meeting other foreigners is a good way to make friends since we are all in the same boat and that often creates an immediate connection. I think establishing new friends and community is the most important thing when arriving anywhere new and it's possible to do that before you have even left home with the internet. Have you got a city in mind? Best of luck :)

It's all about trying it out 💪🏻

Me too my friend

It's not super cheap but if you have a sold job then should be manageble. But Munich is an important city so is very normal that prices are high

@@danielaguahnich8339 working on it

Yeah in my case is super cheap, but normally it would around 1600.

Not really. If you go to www.immobilienscout24.de/ and you check prices outside of Munich for example you would get a house for what you pay here for 2 rooms lol. I think is mainly in big cities like Berlin or Munich where the demand is high, but in any big city is like this. It's not just in Germany. Equally do some more research because in the end this is just some of my knowledge, so always dig deeper ;) Thank you for your comment!

Hahahahha new video dropping today about that. Yeah man like any where in the world there will be racist 🙄 but! In the big cities is not a problem, because people are so mix here. So to answer your question, in big city's not as much but maybe in small towns you get some bad apples here and there. I must also say man that I am white and I blend in, but I really don't see people struggling with racism in munich at least. Hope this helps 🙏🏻

I’m moving back but decided to move to a larger city like Cologne verses Bavaria. The larger cities are more diverse with people from Africa and the Middle East verses the smaller towns. I’m choosing to live outside of the cities because rent is cheaper for larger places and it’s only 15/20 minutes away. In Germany they don’t drive as much as we do daily, plus I can live “far” away from the city with no car and be close to train or bus that runs often.

Sick! Sounds like a solid plan

For work ur just to star finding one?

@@fernandotaboraI’m keeping my US job and working remotely from Munich. I just picked Munich because I’ve been and I liked it haha.

Sick! yeah then no stress! but I would highly recommend you to do a german course. @@amedm89

@@TerryAllCars I would look at the statistics first on your job and see how many people are getting hired. Germany needs a lot of workers but alway check in what areas

@@fernandotabora Thanks bro. Am civil engineer, I additionally completing Now Electrical and computer engineering degree and Masters of Architecture in Urban planning and development. Experience as safety officer in Hydro electric dam.

​​@@fernandotaboraHave you checked bro ?

What a killer background! I would just start heavily using LinkedIn and start testing the market for job openings

Hi! First of all you have to plan everything to the detail. You need to have a job first so that when you arrive, everything will be more easy. Finding apartments is really hard here, so by having a job contract, you can understand how much money you will win and also the landlords will be more secure with you applications. Germans like stability. 2) you have to learn at least a b2 german. Some jobs don't need german but is always good to have. Cheaper to learn it in your country of origin. 3) what I did was crazy and is better to do plans and be sure of what you will get here. So that when you come here, you have the most chances of succes. Is really not that hard, but it takes work and time. I am doing a vidoe about all this topics now, so make sure to stay on the loop. Hope this was helpful 🙏🏻

Yes I way more worked balanced. And if you don't like it you can always go back. Just follow what you want to do

Yes thats right. But I would keep in mind that Germanys people are focussed on their work and don't relax at all.

@@knightmareco we have our Munich IG Group you should join

Where are you from?

@@fernandotabora my visa under processing, decided to move to Wuppertal

There is always a way. Try to become an Au-Pair and see if Germany is the right place

Give it some time a reflection. It always helps

Also, check out other places as well hahahha and compare. The EU is amazing ❤️

2 years to get to B2 level

Immobilienscout24.de

At a german course for sure! B2 level is the best 🔥

It's the best case scenario, but I moved here with no german and no job. I do have an italian passport, so I don't need a visa. It all depends in your situation and what you want to achieve. But it is always good to be prepared as much as possible.

@jaredleto9646 you know it man! Stay strong 💪🏻

@popodopulus3826 I have a doble nationality, but there are many easy ways to get one. It all depends on your country and what will your plan be. I am doing a vidoe om this topic, so stay on the loop. If you want more information also, just go to the german official immigration page and look for "visa navigator" there you will get some questions and it will give you most of the answers you need

@@fernandotabora thanks for the reply!

Absolutely!!

@@Bell_La I feel you! Y lo vas a lograr 🙌🏻 tienes que escribirme por IG y te agregó al grupo

I had to much to footage! Perfect video to show it on

You mean the skateboard?

@@fernandotabora yeah man!

No it was a different brand. I did a video about it. Jaykay boards was called

@@fernandotabora damn, thanks for responding. Ive sold a few mindless boards, so thought i could identify it. Real deadringer!

100% LinkedIn

Join the munich group on IG

Thank you mate 💪🏻

Gracias brou!! Todo lo mejor! Y gracias por el apoyo 💪🏻

Thank you mate! I will create at one point a new channel for editing

@@fernandotabora great to hear

Depends, if it office work yes, but if it's like a business with customer I think no. You can have a 2 room apartment and deduct from your taxes the space you are using for your business

@@fernandotabora Yes it would involve customers. I repair and build guitars and amplifiers as well as restore old audio equipment.

Mmmmmmm I don't know if it just pick. I think it's fine but you have to check with you landlord and also if you have a company that's just a topic that me my self I am getting into. But I think if you are a freelancer and they just come to pick it up or so then fine. But do more research hahahah and all the best mate

@@fernandotabora Absolutely! That is what I do now in the US, I just work from my home shop. I own my house here which makes that easier but I am still doing a lot of research as I also practice learning German.

Always

Thank you mate! 🙌🏻

It's very cool! Specially Munich

@fernandotabora I bet! I've been all over Asia, but I never anywhere in Europe. Definitely a future trip!

Super 73 Zx and no, did not get insurance. Wouldn't recommend my bike . There is low support for the bike in germany. I think Vanmove is better

Thank you!

Sadly I don't really no how mate. I think the best is just learning the language before coming and applying through LinkedIn

I see. How did you find your first job in Germany? Did you arrive first in a job seeker visa? @@fernandotabora

Thank you!

I mean for me it looks good. Balanced, you have to play the game with the taxes

I feel you man! And hope that you find the best path 💪🏻 but I would recommend any castle in Bavaria and also the outdoors! Lakes like Eibsee and Chiemsee or any others are amazing!

Hi it’s me again can you actually rent the castle in Bavaria to live there

I don't think so, but that would be very cool 😎

@@fernandotabora ok thank you 😂

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you Markus!

No man! Chill, think of it as adventure. We are all going to die. So you are just making expiriences 💪🏻wors case you go back to the UK if you don't like the Schinitzles here

You're right! Seize the day, life can be short and living starts with stepping out of the comfort zone. I'll keep up with your videos. Take care man! @@fernandotabora

@Clarke1982 exacto my dud! Also is not that you are moving to a country that it's at war or anything

Das ist so wahr mein freund. Danke dir.@@fernandotabora

Ufff I think you do get some good things, but I am not the expert sadly

@ArzuN17, I have some information regarding those (social) benefits because my son, a German citizen is in Germany now with his family and trying to apply for those benefits. He recently relocated to Germany so that his young daughter can receive a better education. It’s been very, very difficult navigating through the German government bureaucracy. You first need to find your own place to live for a so called “anmeldung”. Without it you can’t work, can’t get a tax number, can’t register the child for school, and can’t even open a bank account, etc . . . What people don’t know is that there is a critical shortage of housing in Germany. Should you find an apartment or flat for rent, there will be hundreds of applicants for the same place. It is a competitive game and only the best tenant gets the apartment. You have to provide your work history, credit report, income, workplace, education, etc . . . He was told that in order to receive some of the social benefits, first he has to find a place to live costing no higher than 660 euros per month. With a shortage of housing, it will be impossible finding something that cheap and with hundreds of people competing for the same thing. The government workers keep sending him all over the place to different government offices but not getting anywhere. For right now, he and his family are staying in an AB&B for 1500 euros a month. Without a job, this will not be sustainable in the long run. They do have shelters though for the homeless. We say here in the U.S: “not all that glitters is gold” or “the grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. However, the local Germans have told him that if for refugees, the government takes care of them right away. Go figure 🤷‍♀️. Sorry for the long comment. Greetings from west Texas 🌞🌵🌻?

Happy birthday 🎂 🥳

Thank you for watching!

Yes and no, depends on your work and what overall you want to do

@@fernandotabora ah ok I'm a student and I planned to move through different countries in Europe by working in an international company. If I can get from a Capital to another, still in Europe, it'd be perfect.

@Barbybara3002 yes then I guess no problem

Not an immigration expert but I am sure you can find some information on the german government website 💪🏻

Dirty Refugee Using 😝

Thank you My dud!

That's a good idea. Take it slow and think about it. Better have a plan not like me hahahahah

Danke!!
