Where do you have to reg­is­ter if you are not from an EU coun­try? If you are a cit­i­zen of a coun­try out­side the EU and are enter­ing Ger­many to live here per­ma­nent­ly, you must reg­is­ter with the local Aus­län­der­be­hörde (Foreign’s Reg­is­tra­tion Office). They will issue you with an Aufen­thalt­sti­tel (res­i­dence permit).

Please make an appoint­ment in advance either by phone – Tel. 115 – or online at https://tempus-termine.com/termine/index.php?anlagennr=29&anwendung=1&infotext=bb
