Are you planning to move to Germany? If the answer is YES, then make sure you have all the necessary documents to make your stay hassle free. Also I will talk about the Unmeldung and Abmendulg.
So what’s an Anmeldung?
An-mendulng (separable verb… I know.. why German why?) simply mean to register. If you are planning to live in Germany (tourists of course don’t need to apply for this) you need to register in the country. It is expected of expats to register in the first month they’ve arrived and within 15 days of signing a contract for an apartment.
Why is it important?
Well, to begin with, it’s illegal to stay in the country without registering (tourist excepted of course.) There is no way to get away from it and if you don’t register you will be fined [or deported] Also is it impossible (or extremely difficult) to get certain things with out and Anmeldung as well (Bank accounts, internet/gas/electricity contracts.)
Happy New Years everybody! Hope you all had a safe holiday season.
If you ask most kids which is their dream trip, or if they had to choose were in the world they want to go they would probably say Disney. But not me, I think I was 11 when I came up to Le Dad and said, “Dad, I can not diiiie without going to Cambodia, I neeeed to visit Angkor Wat temple, I will even learn how to speak Khmer” (talking about drama queens)
I’ve been having a huge case of wanderlust lately, maybe it’s because we have a big trip coming up (spoilers) maybe because I’ve been reading too many travel blogs, but most of the time I find myself writing names of places I want to go in the corners of my “ideas” notebook, napkins or wherever piece of paper I can find.
