10 facts about Berlin:

1. Mobility in Berlin
   

   You don’t actually need a car in Berlin. Parking spaces are hard-fought (often subject to charges) in almost all parts of the city and the public transport system (BVG and S-Bahn) is very well developed and operates around the clock. More and more Berliners are also on the move by bike – fortunately, the city’s cycle path network is steadily expanding and it is not uncommon for cyclists to get to their destinations the fastest.

2. Culinary facts

   Currywurst and cutlets? The Berlin gastronomic scene offers much more! Traditional taverns, innovative street food markets or exclusive star restaurants: in the capital you will find everything your culinary heart desires – and all at affordable prices!
   Because Berlin is still unbeatably cheap compared to other European cities.

3. Estern-Western-Berlin

   Although the wall fell in 1989, it has left its mark: architecturally, the differences in the East and West Berlin cityscape can still be seen today, and the legacy is also perceptible economically, culturally and socially. It is worth getting to know the history of Berlin on an expertly guided city tour or, for example, to search for traces when visiting the GDR Museum.

4. Berlin: lots of small cities in the capital

   Berlin is like a huge city made up of many small towns.
   The diversity of the neighborhoods, the cultural diversity of the “Kieze”, the variety in the street scene is enormous and always surprising.
   Each district has its own charm. There is a lot to discover!

5. Berlin: Inspired by artists from all over the world

   Club culture, pop festivals, street music, avant-garde and classical art, performance, fashion, architecture, opera, theater, comedy, variety, street art, carnival of cultures, CSD and and and….
   The Berlin cultural scene is as diverse as it is gigantic. There is really something for everyone here!

6. Berliner Schnauze

   The “real” Berliner says what he thinks and is not afraid to express criticism. Unfortunately, this sometimes seems quite unfriendly, but behind the gruff “Berlin snout” there is humor and a lot of heart!

7. Green city Berlin

   Berlin is a particularly green city with numerous parks and cozy places in all districts. A number of beach bars on rivers and canals invite you to chill, and forests and lakes offer great leisure opportunities in, on and on the water.

   “Everyone according to their style” – states a Berlin saying.

   Berlin is also called the “Silicon Valley” of Germany, because there are a unique number of start-ups from the technology sector.

10. The social and lively Berlin for young and old

    Our capital is an extremely lively, active and tolerant metropolis with offers and activities for young and old. Culture, clubs, restaurants, parks, flea markets and events for every generation and every taste.

Apply for a residence title in Berlin

There are currently three locations for the Foreigners’ Registration Office in Berlin which are particularly relevant for applying for eATs (electronic residence permits) for foreign workers: the Foreigners Registration Office on Friedrich-Krause-Ufer, the one on Keplerstrasse and the BIS (Business Immigration Office) in the Fasanenstraße. If you book immigration support through PROGEDO, you can normally apply for the residence permit through the BIS. For you and the new employees, this means in concrete terms: preferential treatment of applications, faster appointment allocation and thus a faster work permit.

Of course, our professional immigration specialists will accompany you in all of these steps, help you prepare the documents, submit everything to the State Office for Immigration and accompany you to the appointments, when you can finally order your residence permit (eAT). If legal advice becomes necessary, we work with competent lawyers.

Finding an apartment in Berlin

Finding an apartment in Berlin is a challenge as the housing market has changed rapidly over the last years. Old information on the Internet gives the wrong idea, because prices from five, ten or 15 years ago have long been out of date.

With our know-how, it is still doable! With a little patience, flexibility and good planning, you will soon find the right apartment with our help! Berlin consists of many districts with very different price ranges. Currently, a third of landlords’ income is viewed as the maximum limit of rental costs. A positive SCHUFA entry such as a positive certificate of rent debt freedom are essential for a commitment.
