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.

    Have a valid passport or identity card, your German address and any correspondence from the authority ready. Ask which evidence applies to your own circumstances and the relevant period, including livelihood or health-insurance evidence where applicable. Follow the actual request rather than treating every condition as the same for every EU/EEA resident. Confirm any appointment and charge with the department.
