[Iwantout] 21F Algeria -> Germany
Hi everyone,
I am a non-EU citizen looking to move to Germany to pursue an Ausbildung (apprenticeship). I am currently learning German to prepare for this move, but I am feeling a bit lost regarding the actual procedures and what daily life actually looks like. I would love some guidance from anyone who has successfully navigated this path, regardless of where you are originally from.
Because I am starting my research from scratch, I have a few broad questions:
How does the overall application and visa process work for a non-EU applicant?
What is the reality of the cost of living in Germany, and is the average Ausbildung salary actually enough to survive on?
Looking back on your own experience, what do you wish you had known before making the move?
Thank you so much in advance for sharing your experiences and advice!
