12 STEPS YOU SHOULD FOLLOW AFTER MOVING TO GERMANY:

🏠 Finding an Apartment: finding an apartment in Germany, especially in big cities, can be tough. Use websites like ImmobilienScout24 and WG-Gesucht to find a good spot.

🏢 Register Your Address (Anmeldung): go to the local office to register your address. Bring your rental contract and passport. This is a must-do!

💼 Register for Tax Identification Number (Steuer-ID): you'll get a tax ID after registering your address. This number is important for work and taxes in Germany.

🏦 Open a Bank Account: opening a bank account in Germany is necessary for rent, salary, and other payments. Choose a bank that suits you and bring your passport and Anmeldung.

💡 Set Up Utilities and Internet: make your home comfortable by setting up electricity, gas, water, and the internet. Compare providers to find good deals.

📱 Get a Local SIM Card or Phone Plan: a German SIM card is essential for calls and internet. Check different plans to see what's best for you.

🏥 Obtain Health Insurance: choose between public and private options. Ask your employer or university for help if needed.

📑 Apply for a Residence Permit (if required): if you're from outside the EU, you'll need a residence permit. Go to the Foreigners' Registration Office with your documents.

🚗 Get a German Driver's License (if applicable): check if you need to convert your driver's license. This depends on where you're from.

🚉 Familiarize Yourself with Public Transport: learn about trains, buses, and trams. Consider a monthly pass (Deutschland Ticket, for example) or a BahnCard for frequent travel.

👩‍⚕️ Find a Family Doctor (Hausarzt): register with a local doctor for your health needs. Do this early, as it can take time to get an appointment.

📖 Familiarize Yourself with Local Laws, Regulations, and Plan for Taxes: learn about local laws, tenant rights, and taxes. Start tax planning early.

Thank you for a very informative video. I have one question. How can you get an apartment rent without opening a bank account? Don't you have to prove that you have enough money to pay the rent?
