I am failing to understand why you and your wife's channels is not more popular.
The content you both provide is the in depth knowledge I think every international should know when moving to Germany. I have learned more in 3 videos than I have on almost any other channel. Thank you both so much! Much love from Tennessee.

I am moving to Germany next month and I just want to say you have been making my life 100 times easier ever since the moment I found your channel. Your videos are organized, detailed, and always on point. You are quite funny too, so thank you and keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully this channel will continue to grow🥰

[azerko]

Just passing by to say thanks. Besides the way you present your 'show', it's very organized and terribly well explained.
You make the though decision of moving into something more light and fun.

My personal experience: It was really hard to find an apartment here in Düsseldorf. It took me a week to find a proper one. Then when I wanted to get an appointment (online) from the city office it took me another 5 days. Because all the time-slots were filled. However they have a system where they will send you a notification when there’s an open time-slot (it is pretty helpful). When you have your appointment don’t show up too early. It’s enough to be there at 15 minutes early. Because the checkin system will reject your checkin request if you are too early. (Lol I had to wait extra 20 minutes to make the checkin). The staff were very kind and helpful. Even helped me with some corrections in the application. Just took me 10 minutes. Pro tip: Don’t be selective when you select your city registration office location. And I experienced that, there are more time-slot options available when you make your online appointment in the early morning. ;) Good luck!

Thanks a lot for this video, I'm moving to Germany in November as a student, this one video really help me to understand the process ❤️

I love it how they give you a goodie bag/box when you register in a new city! With some informational booklets and discounts even. So sweet, such a nice welcome!

Depending on the Airbnb host, they are willing to give Wohnungsgeberbestätigung with the format used by the local city. My host was kind enough to give one as PDF, then I did the corrections afterwards.

Edit: You need to have your Airbnb booking as a long stay (e.g. 1 month, 6 weeks) so that the host has justification to give you a Wohnungsgeberbestätigung. Short stays will be perceived as "not Anmeldung-worthy" since you are not concerned with the succeeding documents that requires long-stay address.

My anxiety about bureaucracy in Germany is multiplied by 2 after seing this video....
Thanks a lot for providing a such detailed explanation, it helps to navigate the pain of burocracy ....a quick question:do children need to be present at the Büroamt for the registration? Many thanks in advance..

Hey, thanks for the helpful video! I moved to Germany about five years ago and upon arriving I stayed in an Airbnb for a month. The renter was kind enough to give me the form for the registration, maybe because I was staying for a long period. I was able to register at the Bürgeramt with the print of my Airbnb reservation and his signed form. It might not always work, but if the renter is nice and you ask for help, they will help you out :)

Thanks for the great video!
I'm moving to a new apartment in Berlin within 3 months But I already got the landlord's certificate for doing Anmbeldung.
Can I do the Anmbeldung now Or should I wait till I move in?

[Baccatube]

I love online appointments: never waited longer than 5 minutes since they've become a thing.

[barisord]

20:01 when she said it's very simple actually in that sense for German language, your reaction is killing me 🤣

[shu]

I came back to comment on this video:)

I got the appointment 2 weeks from today offline in Berlin while online appointments were only available 2 months from now!

I have binge watched most of the videos!

Veryy helpful.

AirBnb owners (some) give you the landlord confirmation (Wohungsgeberbestätigung) if you stay more than 3 months of time. And also if the landlord is super friendly, he/she will even give it to you for whatever the time of your stay.
