in Berlin
The capital with Germany's largest Ukrainian community. Residence permits, LEA, work, business.
Наші відгуки в Google Berlin has become home to tens of thousands of Ukrainians. It hosts the busiest immigration office in the country (Landesamt für Einwanderung, LEA), with its own appointment rules and long queues. Extending a residence permit, changing §24 AufenthG status, family reunification, Bürgergeld — Berlin's bureaucracy has its own peculiarities, and we know them from the inside.
The Zahist team supports clients in Berlin across both jurisdictions: German and Ukrainian. One engagement, one point of contact — and your matters in Berlin and in Ukraine move forward in parallel.
