Family stay in Berlin

Among German cities, Berlin is one of the most popular destinations - whether you are traveling alone, with your partner or simply planning a stay in Berlin with the whole family. Berlin often enchants its visitors so much that many adults and families consider moving to the German capital. Find out here what hurdles there are to overcome and what opportunities the multifaceted metropolis on the Spree offers.

You're so beautiful, Berlin

Berlin is unique. Not only because it is the German capital, but also because Berlin is a lovable, multicultural puzzle that offers space for everyone. Whether directly on the Spree, in Spandau, Friedrichshain or Berlin Mitte - there is always something to discover and experience here.

At the same time, Berlin is not just about prefabricated buildings, historic buildings or a unique nightlife. On the contrary, Berlin is considered one of the greenest cities in the world! Almost a fifth of the city consists of forest, not to mention the many beautiful parks and gardens. What's more, there are numerous picturesque lakes such as Müggelsee, the famous Wannsee and Tegeler See right within the city limits. So it is hardly surprising that Berlin enchants its visitors.

Living the Berlin dream

What begins with a trip to Berlin often develops into the desire to build, own or at least rent an apartment in the capital. After all, Berlin not only offers a wealth of attractions, museums and excellent restaurants, but also an indescribable flair and multicultural social environment that is a hit with almost every German citizen and foreign visitor alike.  What's more, the chances are good that you will find it relatively easy to settle in Berlin. This is because the doors to Germany are currently open to qualified workers from abroad in particular. But what data and documents are required if you want to settle in Berlin alone or with your family?

The right contact for all questions regarding the right of residence in Germany is the Federal Ministry of the Interior and Home Affairs (BMI), in Alt-Moabit, not far from Berlin Central Station. You can find the exact contact details at any time in the legal notice on the relevant website. At the same time, interested parties can find various information and notes on the Residence Act (AufenthG) or the documents required for the competent authorities to issue a settlement permit. All further information can also be downloaded free of charge from the homepage.

Where are you heading to?

If you are entitled to a settlement permit and it is possible to realize your wish to move to Berlin, you will need to find suitable accommodation. Regardless of whether you decide on accommodation near Alexanderplatz, Tiergarten, Charlottenburg, Postdamer Platz or in the City East, you will generally need sufficient documentation in addition to your residence permit to confirm that you can support yourself without any problems.
However, if you do not have a fixed income at the beginning or are still looking for suitable work, you have a good chance of receiving support in accordance with the Second Social Security Code (SGB ii). This stipulates that the German state can support people entitled to benefits and their family members with the help of the so-called basic income support for jobseekers.

At the same time, every low-income citizen has a legal entitlement to housing benefit. However, the financial resources available to you or one of your family members will first be carefully checked. Nevertheless, both can be an enormous help, especially at the beginning, and not just for young parents.
However, whether you can receive the various forms of assistance will only be decided after a personal interview. Therefore, if necessary, make an appointment for a personal interview in good time, bring all the required documents with you and find out about possible support for your start in the German capital.

Integration made simple

In order to support foreign citizens in particular when starting out in the capital, Berlin often grants commitments for integration courses or job-related language programs. German and orientation courses or intensive German courses with language exams for professional purposes are currently offered at 17 different locations in Berlin and Brandenburg. The aim is for the new Berliners to make themselves understood in everyday life and to master possible challenges in dealing with authorities, jobs or forms. In addition, social topics such as German history, culture, legal system and values are also explained in the various integration courses. In this way, the city has already integrated numerous migrants in recent years.
