PROGEDO: RELOCATION SERVICE BERLIN

Relocation provider Berlin

Our colleagues in the Berlin PROGEDO office know Berlin in all its corners and its wonderful diversity.
Beyond the pure immigration & relocation business, we would like to share our knowledge with you and inspire you to visit our hometown!

Apply for a residence permit in Berlin

In Berlin, there are currently three locations of the Immigration Office which are particularly relevant for the application of eATs (electronic residence permits) for foreign workers: the Immigration Office on Friedrich-Krause-Ufer, the one on Keplerstraße and the BIS (Business Immigration Office) on Fasanenstraße.

If you book immigration support through PROGEDO, the residence permit can usually be applied for through the BIS. This means for you and/or the new employees: preferential treatment of applications, faster appointment scheduling, and thus a faster work permit.

Of course, our professional immigration specialists will accompany you through all these steps, assisting you with the preparation of documents, submitting everything to the State Immigration Office, and accompanying you to the appointments where you finally apply for your residence permit (eAT). Should legal advice become necessary, we work with competent, independent lawyers.

Find an apartment in Berlin

Finding an apartment in Berlin is a challenge, as the housing market has changed rapidly in recent years. Old information on the internet can give false impressions, as prices from five, ten, or 15 years ago are no longer up to date.

With our expertise, it's still possible! With a little patience, flexibility, and careful planning, we'll soon help you find the perfect apartment for you!
Berlin consists of many districts with very different price ranges. Currently, landlords consider a third of income to be the maximum rent limit. A positive SCHUFA entry and a positive certificate of rent arrears are essential for approval.

10 facts about Berlin:

1. Mobility in Berlin

   In Berlin, you don't really need a car. Parking spaces are fiercely contested (and often subject to a fee) in almost every part of town, and the public transportation system (BVG and S-Bahn) is very well developed and operates around the clock. More and more Berliners are also getting around by bike – the city's network of cycle paths is thankfully being continuously expanded, and cycling is often the fastest way to reach your destination.

2. Culinary

   Currywurst and meatballs? Berlin's culinary scene offers much more! Traditional taverns, innovative street food markets, and exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants: In the capital, you'll find everything your culinary heart desires – and all at affordable prices!

   Because Berlin is still unbeatably cheap compared to other European cities.

3. East-West Berlin

   Although the Wall hasn't divided the city since 1989, it has left its mark: Architecturally, the differences between East and West Berlin are still evident today, and the legacy is also evident in economic, cultural, and social terms. It's worth learning about Berlin's history on an expertly guided city tour or exploring its traces, for example, by visiting the GDR Museum.

4. Berlin: many small towns in one big city

   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 streetscape is enormous and always surprising.

   Each district has its own charm. There's plenty to discover!

5. Berlin: Inspired by artists from around the world

   Berlin's cultural scene is as diverse as it is gigantic. There's truly something for everyone!

6. Berlin accent

   The "true" Berliner speaks his mind and isn't afraid to express criticism. Unfortunately, this can sometimes come across as rather unfriendly, but behind the gruff "Berliner Schnauze" lies humor and a lot of heart!

7. Green City Berlin

   Berlin is a particularly green city, with numerous parks and secluded squares in every district. Numerous beach bars along rivers and canals invite you to chill, and forests and lakes offer great recreational opportunities in, on, and by the water.

8. Berlin's diversity & individuality

   Everyone is allowed to be who they are! People of all colors, shapes, and lifestyles live in Berlin, and they live in harmony with one another.

   “To each his own” – as the Berlin saying goes.

   Berlin is also called Germany’s “Silicon Valley” because of the unique number of start-ups in the technology industry.
