Immigration offices for EU, EEA and Swiss residents

Each city’s immigration office has its own way of taking enquiries

These cases go to the local immigration office, which can be a city department, a district office or, in Berlin, the Landesamt für Einwanderung. Many ask you to email, phone or use a contact form before they give an appointment. Pick your city to see which cases its office handles and what to prepare, such as your passport and proof of your address.

    Prepare valid ID and evidence of your qualifying residence history. Ask which work, study, resources, insurance or absence records your circumstances require. Do not use the third-country-family card checklist or its biometric-photo requirements as the certificate checklist. Address registration alone does not prove five years of qualifying lawful residence.
