- Working in Germany - Formalities
If you are staying for less than three months you
can enter the country with only a valid identity
card.
This does not allow entry to other members of your
family, neither does it entitle you to work.
If you stay over three months you have to apply for
a residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis).
Registration
Anmeldung : the obligatory
administrative form - without this document you are
not allowed to do anything in the country. You
should apply for this within a week of your
arrival.
To get one, go to the police station in the
district you live in, with your passport.
You will only get a form if you have your own
address, otherwise you will have to get the
Anmeldung form signed by the person from whom you
are subletting a flat (or by a friend confirming
that you live with him).
Residence Permit
(Aufenthalserlaubnis) :
A residence permit is still necessary, in spite of
the European Union.
In order to obtain a residence permit, you will
need your Anmeldung, your passport and 2 identity
photos. Go with these documents to the
Landeseinwohneramt.
You will also have to be able to justify your
income in Germany, before you receive the
permit.
If you have opened a bank account in Germany you
can show a simple photocopy; a letter certifying to
financial back-up plus photocopy of the passport
and a bank statement from the person helping you,
is acceptable.
If you have already found a job, a certificate from
your employer indicating that he is waiting for the
permit to regularize your situation, will be
sufficient to obtain it.

16 - Health
Hygiene conditions
Very good hygiene conditions.
No particular diseases.
Vaccinations/ Precautions
There is no obligatory vaccinations apart from
being up-to-date with tetanos, typhoid, BCG-German
measles and polio.
Attention :
As in the rest of the European Community there
exists a developement of MST, Sida and Hepatitis B
and C, which is preoccupying the government.
Medicine /Hospitalization
The German public health system encourages the use
of public hospitals. It is however possible to be
treated by private services in a university or
regional hospital if you have a complementary
medical insurance.
German doctors are very competent. It is possible
to find French-speaking doctors (our list of Useful
Addresses).
As a European citizen, even if you don't have a
job, you can still get good quality medical care in
a public hospital or in a private clinic if you are
sick or pregnant or need an operation, and nearly
free of charge.
It is necessary in this case to have a E111 or E112
form (for pregnant women or children) which will
allow the medical charges to be arranged by your
own country's Health and Welfare and other
insurance organizations.
You will find all the medicines you need in
Germany.
There is an international pharmacy in Dusseldorf
where you can order and rapidly receive French
medicines.
Domestic animals
Dogs and cats (up to 3 animals) can be taken to
Germany with you on holiday so long as they have an
international health certificate and a veterinary
certificate.
