Frequently Asked Questions

Following the 2026 updates to the Citizenship Act, the standard residency requirement is 5 years. Importantly, Germany now fully accepts Dual Citizenship—you can become German without ever giving up your U.S. passport.

It’s a special account that proves you can support yourself. For 2026, students need €11,904 per year (€992/month), while Opportunity Card holders need €13,092 per year (€1,091/month). We also provide a list of approved providers that work with U.S. bank transfers.
Financial requirements are approximate and subject to change by authorities.

No. The U.S.-Germany Tax Treaty prevents double taxation for almost all residents. You still have to file a U.S. return, but you typically won't owe the IRS a cent on your German income. We can refer you to tax pros who specialize in this.

Absolutely. While the world feels uncertain, Germany’s 2026 social reforms have reinforced its safety nets. With stable healthcare costs (relative to the U.S.) and the new 'Deutschlandticket' making travel affordable, Germany remains a top haven for Americans seeking a saner pace of life.

We work with Americans who are ready for something new – and need guidance doing it right.
Our clients include:
- Families looking for a safer and more supportive environment for their kids
- LGBTQ+ individuals seeking more freedom and protection

Yes! As of 2026, the Opportunity Card is the premier route for Americans. It allows you to move for 1 year to search for work. You need to show approx. €13,092 per year (€1,091/month) in a blocked account and meet a 6-point criteria (based on age, English/German skills, and experience). Unlike the old job-seeker visa, you can actually work part-time (20 hrs/week) while you search.
