Hi,
I am a Non-EU person and currently live with my husband in another Schengen country. We are moving to Germany as he got a good job offer. I will be approx 20 weeks pregnant at that time. Can i get some guidance on what should be done after we arrive there? Will i be able to get Midwife, Gynaecologist, Hospital appointment and get proper care as i am not there since starting of my pregnancy? 
What should be the first things i should do after arriving to Germany (Berlin)? Can we get GP instantly after we arrive and also Gynaec and Midwife? It will so much helpful if i can get some useful information.
Thanks very much.

Hello! 

My parents are retired by Brazilian government. But, both have european citizenship. I'm look for information about health insurance for them. Since, they receive minimum age and wish to move here, in Germany. Our income doesn't cover a private insurance. 

Brazil and Germany have a retirement agreement. They can receive their money here and pay the public insurance? Both are over to 60 years old.

Thank you!

Hallo, my child was born end of last year and I would like to ask if leaving Germany for a couple of months creates any problem with the u checks. Let’s say if we move to a European country and during feb April 2025 we have to do U4 but we are abroad, can we do it in another country and provide proof? Is there any affect to the child benefits?  Thanks.

My wife and I are both British citizens and over 80.  We found your site very helpful - one question remains - who is eligible for all the help and assistance?  Does the information apply to non German nationals living in Germany or is it only available to German nationals who have paid contributions to the state all their working lives?

We have lived here since 2001 and are privately insured because we had not being paying into the state system (krankencasse) and were therefore not entitled to the state benefits.

I have a severe disability 50%. Am i entitled for special housing needs certificate?

Hallo! I have registered my daughter to kindergarten and they need a document from a peadiatrician that she is healthy and can attend kindergarten. The problem is we have recently arrived in Germany, we are EU citizens and have a valid European Insurance Card but the doctors here can not examine my daughter and give us the specific document because we are not insured in Germany. What can I do now?
