Which city do German immigrants choose to live in?

# German Immigrants # Introduction German administrative planning is basically at the federal, state and town levels, and China has 16 states, which is equivalent to China's "province". There are many influential states, such as Bavaria, whose capital is Munich, and German universities and scenic spots are all in Bavaria. Of course, the three cities of Bremen, Hamburg and Berlin are a bit of "municipalities" in Germany. At present, considering that people are constantly applying for German immigration, I don't want to give you a brief introduction to various cities in Germany to see which one is your dish.

1. Which city do German immigrants choose to live in?

Berlin, the capital of Germany and the capital of culture.

Speaking of Berlin, everyone will be familiar with it. As the capital and city of Germany, its influence in the world is very great.

The economic level of this city is naturally beyond doubt; In addition, Berlin is a city in culture, politics, media, science and technology. Therefore, this is the largest gathering place for foreigners.

Dortmund

"Green City" in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Germany is one of the best green cities. Half of the city is covered by waterways, woodlands, cultivated land, green belts and spacious parks. For example: Westphalia Park, Baum Park in Freeden.

Stuttgart

Baden-Wü rttemberg, the capital of Baden-Wü rttemberg, is a gathering place for universities.

Stuttgart has the most intensive scientific, theoretical and research institutions in Germany. About 1 1% of Germany's scientific research results come from here.

Hamburger (hamburger)

"Bridge City of the World", seaport and foreign trade city.

Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and an international tourist city.

It is not only beautiful in scenery and pleasant in environment, but also the most important seaport and foreign trade center in Germany. As a port city, Hamburg also has a European-scale red light district. Therefore, Hamburg has the reputation of "Germany's gateway to the world" and "world bridge city".

Munich (Munich)

The capital of Bavaria, with the most developed economy, has two universities.

As the second largest financial center in Germany, Munich is the most developed city in Germany, and the cost of living is also the same as that in Germany. In addition, two world universities, the University of Munich and technical university of munich, stand here.

Frankfurt (Frankfurt)

German financial and transportation center, seat of the European Central Bank.

Frankfurt, the "second capital", is also a city with many advantages, and its cost of living is second only to Munich. It is an important industrial, commercial, financial and transportation center in Germany and even Europe, as well as an aviation hub and railway hub in Germany. There are 324 banks in the city, and 85% of the stock exchanges in Germany are operating.

Cologne (k? ln)

A modern and prosperous commercial metropolis.

Cologne is the fourth largest city in Germany, located on the Rhine River. It is an ancient and prosperous modern commercial city, and the University of Cologne, one of the German universities, is here.

2006). Dusseldorf (an industrial city in northwest Germany

The capital of North Rhine-Westphalia is also a popular immigrant city.

The final finale is Dusseldorf. Dü sseldorf, located in the northwest of Germany, is also the capital of North Rhine-westfalen, the most economically developed region in Germany. Developed exhibition industry and communication industry, good economic situation and moderate cost of living make it a "welcome immigrant city".

2. What do new immigrants in Germany need to pay attention to?

1. culture

Adaptation "adaptation" refers to understanding the culture, language and the place where you will live. This seems obvious, but what surprises me is how many new immigrants fail to do this. You are moving to a country with a new culture and language, which is completely different from your previous habits. At least don't go to German-speaking Europe without some basic preparation.

Passport and visa

Of course, you know that you need a passport and a residence visa to stay in Germany for more than 90 days. However, please make sure that your passport and the passports of all family members are valid not only during your work in Germany, but also for at least four months thereafter. If a person's passport expires too early, he needs to renew it before going to Germany or any other European country.

You can't work in Germany without a valid work visa. American and Canadian citizens can stay in Germany for 90 days without a visa (but are not allowed to work). You can apply for a residence/work visa after you arrive in Germany, but you must apply before the expiration of 90 days. Sometimes your German employer will help, but in the end, it's your responsibility.

Step 3: house

Will you sell your existing house or rent it? Will you live in a temporary residential area in Germany, or buy or rent a house before you arrive? Do you know the house price in Germany? (We mentioned "living expenses" in 1. Generally speaking, the cost in Germany is higher than that in the United States or Canada, especially in big cities. In order to keep the budget unchanged, you may have to reduce the size or accommodation. It will help if your employer also provides housing subsidies, but please make sure that this is realistic for Germany.

4. Transportation of household goods and cars

This is a very important decision. You need to know some important facts about importing household goods into Germany or any other European country. The Federal Republic of Germany and People's Republic of China (PRC) have special laws and regulations on the import of household goods, including automobiles.

5. Driving in Germany

Do you really need a car? In Germany, this is actually a rational question! But this is also the place of the highway! If you choose to own a car in Germany, can you drive legally? Foreigners who have lived in Germany for one year or less can hold American or Canadian driver's licenses, but you need a German driver's license.

6. Doctors and prescriptions

Drugs You should take any prescription drugs that you or your family need to take for 90 days. German pharmacies will not write prescriptions from the United States or Canada unless they first convert the prescriptions into German. You should find a local doctor as soon as possible. You can ask for a doctor's prescription and your family's medical needs.

7. Book your flight in advance.

Once you have confirmed your international behavior, please book flights for you and your family. The sooner you do this operation, the better. Airlines charge higher fees for flights booked shortly before departure. Planning ahead can save money. If possible, we should leave enough time for German delivery before the actual work begins.

In order to avoid unnecessary economic losses for citizens, the Consular Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the embassies and consulates in Germany reminded most immigrants to abide by the relevant entry regulations of the European Union and Germany.
