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.

    Include an informal written request explaining your situation, your passport copy, the EU/EEA citizen’s passport or identity-card copy, both registration confirmations, and the marriage certificate for a spouse or birth certificate for a child. Provide evidence of the relative’s qualifying free movement appropriate to their status, such as employment and pay evidence, self-employment evidence, pension-insurance history, a permanent-residence certificate, or sufficient resources and health insurance. These are examples, not a requirement to provide every type. Ask which evidence and any translation or certification are needed.

  • Bremen

    For EU, EEA and Swiss citizens

    Migrationsamt Bremen

    Stresemannstraße 48, 28207 Bremen

    Post a written request with copies of your employment records, and ask which evidence fits if you are not an employee.

    Office website+4942136188630

    The checklist asks for an informal written request explaining your current situation, your current employment contract, a current pension-insurance history and your latest payslip, supplied as copies. Ask about alternative evidence if that employment checklist does not fit your case. Bremen gives the fee amount in its invitation letter; do not assume a fixed fee or processing time.
