I plan to move to Heilbronn, Germany when I retire from the USPS. why Heilbronn, I was stationed there at Wharton Barracks when in the mid 80's and enjoy my time there; I have also travel to other cities in Germany but Heilbronn will always be my first choice, Any Ideas for me.
I’m younger, grew up in the Ramstein area due to dad being a military contractor, I definitely want to move back, looking for a job on UsaJobs, I knew people I worked with on base at the Exchange who worked part time on base to be able to stay supported.
wow. that was very unhelpful. I feel like the only thing I learned here was if I want to move to germany i should be a freelancer, student, or doctor. I really was hoping for more details on how to live there.
Thank you for your feedback. What kind of information were you looking for? Most people are interested in knowing what their visa options are since that getting a visa is the main obstacle to moving to Germany.
How about retirees? My wife is German but gave up her Passport for an American one 12 yrs ago. I’m a fully retired veteran and 54. I make military retirement, SSD and VA comp pay. I make excellent money every month the rest of my life. I know my pay will go MUCH farther in Germany than here in the States. I lived in Stuttgart for two years and Heidelberg for 3 years when I served. Met my wife in Heidelberg.
@@darksideofthemoon7332I moved to Germany in '22 after taking a job with DeCA. After 1.5 years working for them, I left because like you, I have retirement income from my service. I applied for and got a temporary residence to live here. Unlike you, I don't have a German wife. I am sure (because I heard) your wife can reclaim her citizenship without problem. I hope you and your family are able to move back to Germany if you haven't already. 🫡
I'm interested in moving to Spain (yeah, missed the video...will go back to it). The situation in the US is quite scary at the moment and I'm hoping that Spain might be a great place to look.

@@daisyalicia we’ll first you need to decide which city is best for you. Get a job offer/invitation. Then look for places to live in that city . They have flats for rent with furniture ready to go. Then find one that allow expats like ourselves to move in. I say that because some others have restrictions. Then once you have your place buy a plane ticket and fly out there. Once you arrive you need to go register at the local citizens office where you will inform them who you are and where you live. Also you need to open a German bank. (Probably not in this order of things I haven’t figured that out yet ) After that you can get a residence visa and your done
How long does the process take to move. I'd like to move by the end of this year and I am going to talk to a immigration consultant about starting the process. I'm receiving help getting into an internship program and I have a place to live but I'm scared of the process. Do I have to wait long to move? I really want to move by July or August. I have a passport, birth certificate, and I'll have a few thousand saved by then but I'll be asking about what I need with the consultant.
Moving to Germany, what items will I not be able to buy there that I should consider bringing? I'm wondering about skin and hair products, medicines and supplements. And well as everyday items.
German guy answering: Be prepared for some surprises! Germans take a lot less supplements, they simply eat better food to start with. Medicine is handled by the Healthcare system which is said to be better than the American Health business. do not bring any 110V appliances. Depending on your skin color it might be a good idea to bring one month's worth of supply until you know which shops in your new town offer your preferred stuff. And knowing some German (say A1 or better A2) should be obvious, should it not? You would not want to be the stupid American who does not speak the local language when everyone around you (the Chinese, the Turkish, the Greeks, the Italian and the Arabs) easily does it.
yes, grandparents that left during 20th century should make it easy. You may want to check "The Black Forest family" which is a US couple from the midwest that lives in Freiburg south west Germany. Recently, Ashton the wife who does most of the video works changed the channels name to Type Ashton. They live in Freiburg for several years, build a house and got two kids. Don't be shy and google for info on the web in English too. right now, a simple test search string "immigration to Germany from the US German grandparents" brought up plenty of official pages with lots of information
Do you have a video on the ins and outs of living the digital nomad life? I'd love to travel for a year or two before deciding where to settle, but it feels really overwhelming at my age.
Currently a lot of regulations and laws are changing re, immigration to Germany. And many things will be or are much easier already. TH-cam is good place to start some research as there many dozen US immigrant channels adressing exactly that question. Just try different terms and combinations of it and paste into the YT search bar
Dual citizenship (I.e. including Deutsch) and a decent knowledge of the local language help a lot. If you want to start a Ausbildung as a Mechaniker (cars, heating, plumbing, bakery, , ...) things will become even easier, once you found a place to start your Ausbildung. There is a lot of demand, usually in smaller companies of 3-10 people
Where in Germany do you want to move?
I used to live in Baumholder as a kid and I miss Germany so much. The economy here in the USA is bluh
I've been to Hamburg once, Frankfurt 3 times. I'd like to see Berlin but Frankfurt is lovely. I hear Berlin is more affordable though.

What about moving abroad without a visa? Online it says that you can move to Germany without one and then apply for a permit apon arrival
I’m wondering the same thing!
That’s correct I’m looking into moving myself and I plan on doing it that way. BUT there are lots of steps in order to pull that off successfully

What are you talking about in the northeast I was paying 350 a month in utilities for a 1 bedroom apartment
Can I move to Germany and be expected based on my cash? I’m retired at 47 and want to move to Germany where my American GF lives.

Oh nevermind. You answered that in the video. The tourist visa, thank you!!

Hi, I live in usa. Can I move with out skill job. I mean when I find regular any job . And is that so hard for paperwork? Language?

Can you move to Germany as a retiree?
So would it be hard to get a Workers Visa if i wanted to be a mechanic, and would this process be easier if i have dual citizenship?

It would be advisable to talk not so fast and a not to almost shout. It is not pleasant listening to your video, sorry, I stop now.
I don't think anyone asked you, your opinion...
You can adjust the speed on TH-cam and turn the volume down.
Thanks for your update
I am interested in Germany or US.
How can I get your personal contact.
Can you help me move to Abroad.
Thank you
