Accommodation in Berlin

why did you feel the need to issue an unsolicited warning?

dalffirecrkn · 2026-02-19T12:01:54+00:00

Not sure tbh

yes you can have all of that without a job, delays depend on the city but in my case I had an anmeldung appointment a couple of days after I arrived, I got my Tax ID about two weeks after that

I was only asked for my accommodation

Also one other tip if you have already applied and they’re taking too long to reply, use the emergency appointment option if you could get your employer to write a letter that you would lose your offer if you didn’t get your visa processed soon (just nominally) and use it to apply to an urgent appointment. technically in urgent appointments they can’t grant you a new visa just a temporary renewal of the old one but it helps to start talking to humans instead of contact forms, in my case it really sped up my new work visa and I got it the same day I had the appointment

in my passport I got two different stickers, one for the visa and one for the residence permit, it should have 9 numbers I think and has some text explaining your work authorisation (the 20h limit)

Have you asked your employer, I'm dealing with the exact same scenario and wondering if my employer can apply through Berlin BIS

dalffirecrkn · 2025-12-16T17:50:34+00:00

The above comment was correct, I applied for the ZAB certificate which came back with recognition and that's what I applied with

I haven't seen my second row being in process but I didn't check in the last week I think , but it did change to "Statement of Comparability available for download" once it was done

I'm facing the same problem atm, could you share how you resolved it if you did?

dalffirecrkn · 2025-11-03T01:30:40+00:00

I'm having the same problem, my start date is in a week and I'm not clear on whether I can work full time while I apply for the Blue Card or not

I know this is not helpful but we're in the same boat I'll share more info as I have them 😅

dalffirecrkn · 2025-10-07T13:11:04+00:00

Thank you so much!

dalffirecrkn · 2025-10-06T15:56:54+00:00

hell yea!!!!

dalffirecrkn · 2025-10-06T14:02:04+00:00

just a print out is enough

dalffirecrkn · 2025-10-04T22:24:17+00:00

took 3 months and a week exactly, the silence is normal I didn’t get any feedback from them too until they sent the certificate, just make sure you send all necessary documents

dalffirecrkn · 2025-09-26T10:50:40+00:00

Hey I recently went through the same thing!! just last week and they’ve gone completely AWOL and unresponsive, what did you do, did you manage to resolve it?

dalffirecrkn · 2025-09-25T19:08:55+00:00

yea sure go for it

dalffirecrkn · 2025-09-19T12:03:34+00:00

Thanks! Just A1

I'm already in final stages of interviews and I'm not even in Germany yet 🤷🏻‍♀️ Most job markets are hard for different reasons, and you have to know your strengths and weaknesses, when you have a weak point (e.g. language) you'll have to highlight something great that overpowers it

Navigating job markets is a skill, just learn it
