What our customers say

The entire process went very smooth and pleasant thanks to progedo service. I would highly recommend their service to expats. They are really professional and help you at every possible step. I have used the service twice and i am extremely satisfied.

Prateek G.

Many thanks for your excellent support, PROGEDO! Moving to a new country and starting a new job in itself is quite stressful. I am so glad that I could outsource finding my children a good school and kindergarten to the PROGEDO team in Munich – who has been incredibly helpful at every stage of the process. Who would have thought that these things require so much paperwork?!

Rowena D.Researcher, U.K.

True professionals at work! 
The PROGEDO-team helped me with all the bureaucratic procedures when I moved from Russia to Berlin. From signing a contract, applying for a visa, to relocating my whole family, we got help with the ups and downs of moving to Germany. More than happy to recommend these experts!

Olga R. IT-specialist, Russia

My highest recommendation for the Progedo team! I was already late with my German visa application when I asked Progedo for help. And still, the team somehow managed to get everything processed just in time, so that I was able to start working in Berlin as was planned. I am still stunned by how smoothly everything was handled, even when we were in a rush. In any case, I was very impressed with the high quality service – many thanks for your help and support!

Preetha P.Consultant, Malaysia

I would like to thank you once again for the wonderful job you have done in helping us relocate to Germany. It was a long process – but we made it in the end! I would like to especially recommend the hard work and efficiency in handling our case. We are beyond grateful for her help; she was very patient, forthcoming and went the extra mile to make everything work smoothly!

Mattia R.Engineer, Italy

Since we have started working together with PROGEDO, we are much more likely to hire professionals from abroad. Before that we were concerned about all the paperwork that comes with hiring expats. But the PROGEDO team has proved itself to be an expert when it comes to processing visa applications as well as taking care of the entire expense management. I can confidently say that PROGEDO has become indispensable to our HR team.
