Corporate relocation to Germany
We plan the whole relocation and take the process over: visas, housing, family and every dependency in between. One Berlin team that knows the embassy and immigration office timelines, for non-EU and EU hires alike.
Trusted by companies and partners
Relocation planning
A relocation is a chain of dependencies, and one late document can hold up everything behind it. We map the timeline with you and point out what could go wrong, so your hire arrives on time and we can take the process over.
A free call. No obligation.
On the call we walk through the timeline for your hire, then take it from there.
Sound familiar?
Hiring across borders is hard enough. We take the relocation off everyone's desk, whichever desk it is landing on.
Chasing new hires for documents and appointments
→We collect, check and file everything directly with the employee.
Five vendors for one move
→Visa, documents, housing, family and insurance with a single partner.
No clear answer on status or timing
→One contact who knows exactly where each case stands, and tells you before you have to ask.
All-day questions from hires and their families
→We answer them directly, in English, so your inbox stays clear.
Key hires sitting idle while permits are processed
→A planned timeline from offer to start date, with the fast-track procedure where it applies.
Costs that creep and surprise you
→Clear, itemised pricing agreed before we start. No hourly surprises.
Compliance and reputational risk
→Specialists who live in the rules every day, with an external immigration lawyer for legal questions.
Great hires lost to a rough first month
→A smooth landing that protects the hire you worked hard to win.
Health insurance and pensions
Public or private health insurance, and corporate pension plans: we can be your single point of contact for the entire team, so HR does not have to field the questions.
Permit types we support
We support applications across all the main routes, and know how each one works in practice.
Blue Card applications, supported from the first document to the decision.
An employer-led procedure with statutory deadlines. We set it up and run it with the immigration office.
Open to IT specialists on the basis of professional experience instead of a degree. We support these applications too.
Skilled worker visas and other employment routes, with ten years of experience across them.
Permits for founders, freelancers and creatives who work for themselves.
Permits for spouses, partners and children joining your hire.
How the fast-track works: your company applies with the hire's authorisation. Once the immigration office issues its preliminary approval, the embassy appointment must take place within three weeks, and the visa decision is usually made within three more.
Relocating from within the EU? No visa is needed, but registration, insurance, housing and payroll still take planning. We help EU citizens settle in too.
Talk to usBeyond visas and permits
A permit rarely fails on the form. It stalls on the document nobody knew was needed. We manage the whole chain.
Marriage and birth certificates and other civil documents, ready for the permit.
Opened correctly, for the routes that require proof of funds.
The financial evidence some permits ask for, prepared the way offices expect it.
Handled by our licensed in-house brokerage, with cover matched to each permit.
Spouse permits, Kita places and vouchers, and child benefit.
Address registration, utilities, driving licence transfers and more.
When your team needs to land fast
We have placed people in accommodation within days when their team had to land fast. We prefer a couple of weeks' notice, but when the start date will not move, neither do we.
