How to Get the Freelance Visa in Germany! (Advice for Those Who Can Fly to Germany without a Visa)

In this video I'll be sharing every single detail about how to get the freelance visa in Hamburg, Germany. All of the steps are down below!

Here's the Facebook group that helped me so much!:

*3 Pre-requisites!*

❇️ *Step one:* move to Germany as a tourist if you’re from one of these 7 countries: Australia, Israel, Japan, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea or the US. I was able to to do this during the travel ban because my German boyfriend filled out the non-married couple invitation form: https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/kurzmeldungen/EN/2020/08/einreise-unverheirateter-paare-en.html

❇️ *Step two:* Once you move into your room/apt in Germany, you need to register your address so that you can get the paper called the "Meldebestätigung" - You get this with the nearby foreigners office / city hall (Kundenzentrum). You have to make an in-person appointment for this at this website here: click on Einwohnerwesen then select 1 Wohnsitz, Anmeldung als Hauptwohnsitz: https://serviceportal.hamburg.de/HamburgGateway/FVP/FV/Bezirke/DigiTermin

❇️ *Step 3:* Once you have your Meldebestätigung, find the correct email for your nearest Ausländerbehörde that is in charge of your address in Hamburg (the top of your Meldebestätigung says which district is yours). To find the correct email go to this website: https://www.hamburg.de/harburg/kundenzentrum-auslaenderangelegenheiten/?fbclid=IwAR2Id311bQxmpEi2qDUQ1d9eOClZ9XZ_gh1DkEpO2Y4QstQts6MWVPSAFg8

❇️ *Step 4:* TIME TO ATTACH ALL OF YOUR DOCUMENTS AND SEND AN EMAIL (FROM STEP 3):

This is what I said in the text part of my email:

"Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Es geht um einen Antrag für ein freiberuflichen Aufenthaltstitel.
Angefügt sind: 3 Interessen Erklärungen, Aktueller Kontostand, Einkommen von 2020, Meldebestätigung, Empfehlungsschreiben der letzten Anstellung, Antrag eines, Aufenthaltstitels, Reisepass, Lebenslauf, Krankenversicherung
Bitte geben Sie mir nach der Prüfung einen Termin für das weitere Vorgehen. Ich benötige einen Termin vor dem 10.01.2021, da dann meine Urlaubserlaubnis von 90 Tagen abläuft.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
- Your name"

THE ATTACHMENTS:
1️⃣.) The Meldebestätigung (See step two above)
2️⃣.) 3 Interest letters
3️⃣.) The filled out visa application form (Antrag eines Aufenthaltstitels): Find it here: https://www.hamburg.com/contentblob/103150/b699fbe6860d429eb4c99fc4bb49d1eb/data/ae-eng-fra.pdf
4️⃣.) screenshots of your bank account balance
5️⃣.) screenshots of any income that you have coming in
6️⃣.) I included a recommendation letter from my past employer
7️⃣.) a copy of your passport page
8️⃣.) Your resume / CV in German (I used deepL.com to translate)
9️⃣.) your health insurance. Travel insurance is ok for the initial email BUT for the actual appointment they need to see a real private one. They asked me to have my real private health insurance company sign this document as proof that it meets the requirements: https://welcome.hamburg.de/contentblob/8138070/40415ff6b1c02da06f3e3adaf183d753/data/kv-anlage-6-deutsch.pdf

♦️*HOW TO GET PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE:*
➼ Barmenia was able to sign my paper for my appointment so I recommend them (I also found a sneaky way to get into TK public health insurance by finding a job and the job contract got me in)

♦️ Here's the N26 German bank website that I use that's free to sign up:
