Your First 90 Days in GermanyThe Step-by-Step Arrival Guide

New in Germany? Here is what to do, and in what order.

The first weeks in Germany come with paperwork: registering your address, waiting for your tax ID, opening a bank account, choosing health insurance and preparing for the Ausländerbehörde. Your First 90 Days in Germany puts these steps into one clear day-1 to day-90 roadmap.

Written by Deniz Arndal, who researched each step using official sources. This 2027 Edition (facts checked 24 October 2026) adds city guides for Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne/NRW, because each city handles appointments and documents a little differently.

Inside you will find:

• Anmeldung: what to bring to the Bürgeramt and how the 14-day window works
• Tax ID and bank: why your tax ID arrives by post, and what banks usually ask for
• Health insurance: public vs private cover explained, so you can compare your options
• Residence permit: how to prepare your documents for the Ausländerbehörde
• City guides: local steps and official links for Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Cologne/NRW
• A checklist at the end of every chapter and German–English phrase sheets
