Salam! I’m Anar, and my journey from Azerbaijan to Germany in 2022 was filled with both excitement and challenges. Moving to Cologne with my wife to work at my company’s office seemed like a dream come true, but as with every expat, navigating through Germany’s administrative system proved to be a daunting task.

I turned to various forums and sources for information, trying to grasp the intricacies of life in Germany. One crucial aspect that caught me off guard was the compulsory registration upon arrival – the Anmeldung. It was my landlord who enlightened me about this requirement, highlighting the importance of local knowledge in settling into a new country. My limited German skills often posed challenges, especially when dealing with official paperwork and applications. However, the real turning point came when I contemplated changing jobs. Confusion over my visa status left me on the verge of packing my bags and returning to Azerbaijan to start anew.

It was during these moments of uncertainty that I realised the critical need for a platform like ours. I’m thrilled to be a part of this initiative, knowing firsthand the difference it can make in the lives of fellow expats.
