Does your consultation cost anything?

Our consultation is free for you – no matter if you are new to Germany, self-employed, or running a company. You only pay the insurance premiums to the respective providers. There are no extra costs for our services and consultations. Even if you take out an insurance policy later, there are no hidden fees for you.

Which insurance policies do I need as an expat in Germany?

Many expats are unsure which insurance policies are truly necessary. Generally, we recommend:

- Liability insurance: In case you accidentally cause damage to someone.
- Household contents insurance: Protects your property against burglary, water, or fire damage.
- Health insurance: Mandatory in Germany – we help you find the right statutory or private solution.
- Legal expenses insurance (optional): Support in legal conflicts, e.g., with landlords or in traffic.

We advise you individually – depending on your life situation.

Do I have to take care of my health insurance myself?

Yes. In Germany, you must take out your health insurance yourself – even if you are employed. We help you find the right statutory or private solution.

What happens if I leave Germany again?

No problem – we also support you when you move away. We help you cancel your insurance policies in time or switch to international alternatives if needed. We also advise you on which documents or proofs you need and what you should consider to avoid unnecessary costs.

Can my spouse be included in family insurance?

Yes, but your spouse may not receive passive income from abroad (e.g., through remote work). A mini-job is possible in Germany.

When can I switch to private health insurance?

You can switch to private health insurance as soon as your gross income exceeds the annual income threshold (JAEG). This threshold is adjusted annually. Additionally, self-employed individuals, freelancers, and civil servants can switch to private health insurance regardless of their income.

Do I need a visa or travel health insurance?

Yes, many visa applications require appropriate insurance. We would be happy to advise you on this.
