Our Mission
Core Principles
We are committed to providing accurate information. Practical advice, steps for bureaucratic processes, and factual details are verified against official German sources (e.g., government websites, immigration authorities) where applicable. Information based on experience is identified as such. We strive to keep our content up to date, but acknowledge the dynamic nature of regulations and encourage users to verify critical information with the relevant official bodies.
We prioritize information from official government sources, reputable organizations, and established experts. When citing external sources, we provide clear attribution. We distinguish clearly between factual information derived from official sources and advice based on the personal experiences of our writers and community.
We aim to make complex topics understandable. We use clear, straightforward language, avoid unnecessary jargon, and present information in a logical and structured manner. Our goal is to provide actionable advice that users can easily follow.
Our content addresses the real challenges, questions, and needs of expats moving to or living in Germany. We provide practical solutions, tips, and insights that help our audience navigate their journey.
We believe firsthand experience offers invaluable insights. We encourage writers to share their personal experiences and practical tips while clearly labeling opinions or subjective advice. This experiential perspective complements factual information.
Our content is created independently. While we may partner with relevant service providers (e.g., relocation services, language schools), these partnerships do not influence our editorial content. Any sponsored content or affiliate relationship associated with transparency standards will be disclosed. Our recommendations are based on what we believe is genuinely helpful to our users.
