Thank you both for all the information! I have a question for a future video maybe and I think it could be interesting for many of us who don’t know German well. I had to buy a kitchen from IKEA and two months later, I finally got it. However, I found out that the hole for the sink to go in has to be sawed in. I don’t have tools and no skills! Is there an app or a website where we can find people who can do small or big jobs like that? We had one in Canada ( where I am from) and one in Greece ( where a lived for a few years). Thank you so much and Tschüss!!!

Only the bucket that protects work or against your employer is tax deductible, the other areas are not. Usually you only get one price for all so it’s hard to separate the buckets in pricing.

Hi, I’m living in Germany and I have an appointment middle of February with the immigration office to do the exchange of visa to the actual residence permit (blue card). My visa will expire end of February so they gonna give me an interim permit in order to bridge the time between visa expiration date and the receipt of the final residence permit card. I would like to know if I can travel without any problem with this interim permit or not ? Thanks in advance

@@simplegermany Traditional Insurances like ARAG, Allianz do not have it mentioned as excluded (they do mention Divorce-related issues as excluded). So unless the exclusion is being implied in an indirect way, I have not seen any clause in ARAG or Allianz that excludes Immigration related issues from 'Private-life' area.

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If you got married in Berlin you should have gotten a certificate right on the spot. Otherwise the Standesamt is the place to ask for it.

I am using now Legal Insurance for almost 2 years now, and would like to share my experience. - My insurance provided is also ROLAND, I subscribed to it through GetSafe. Although GetSafe (intermediate service) has english app and english support when I need to consult legal insurance they just provided hot line number of ROLAND, so even if GetSafe speaks english you won't get legal support in english. - the contract is yearly, so you can't quit it whenever you want or with notice period. You will pay until the end of the contract. - In our case, our marriage certificate was not accepted by Registry Office (Standesamt), because they want it legalized, but Foreign Ministry don't legalize documents from my country since 2014. Also, I found a document from Foreign Ministry that says as documents from my country can't legalized, therefore they can/should be accepted in germany without legalization. Based on it I consulted ROLAND and they just say it is Immigration Law case not Administrative Law. I insisted that I don't want file a case against Foreign Ministry, I want to file a case against Standesamt so that they accept our marriage certificated based on the foreign Ministry's official document. Via email I asked ROLAND to explain me why my case is Immigration Law and not Administrative law, but they did not bother to explain me, no response to my email. I only got answer to my first email, where I explained my case, that they can only help with phone consultation and nothing else. Eventually, I applied for the termination of my subscription which I am paying 35 euros for 2 years. However, I am not discouraging you to not take legal insurance. My friend recently moved out from his WG, he was living in the same house with home owner, but on the second floor. He moved there in September, but homeowner tried to kick him out saying he is using the shower twice a day (he does not) and he spends all day at room , for some reason home owner expected that he will start working directly after he move germany at does not spend much time at home. Based on this reasons, which are not mentioned in the contract, she wanted to kick him out after month of staying. After he reminded him about the rent contract and the notice period she backed up. He had only rent contract for 4 months, his contract now finished, he moved out from there. My friend now asks for his rent deposits back, but home owner, who is ethnic German, just ignoring my friends' messages. I am saying ethnic German because so that you know, this kind of scam behaviour not just come from home owner with foreign background.

The first thing I did was search your website and KZbin channel for a "Legal Insurance" video as your videos were the MOST helpful "guide" for me coming and living in Germany "more smoothly". I think I spend 1 month binge watching your videos :) . Thank you again for all your help, and keep the videos coming. I am recommending you to all my friends who want to come here. Lot's of love from Düsseldorf (and thank you also for the "best areas to rent in Düsseldorf" video)!

Recently went to court in Munich for a dispute against a car dealer. Two things you need to know: 1- On the "invite to court" letter, it says that you have to be able to speak and understand German. Otherwise, you need a lawyer 2- ChatGPT provides better consulting and was more helpful in my case but I had to get a German speaking lawyer anyway.

Nice video. The heating & hot water system (gas boiler) of my apartment has problems since october, but I feel guilty of pushing my 80 years old landlord because he is always very nice with me (even though i have to shower cold many times in winter). Anyway, if everything goes well (Ausländerbehörde gives me my Residence Permit), I will move to other apartment next month.
