Ever since I arrived in Germany, I’ve had challenges with my resident permit, and then there were problems with my driver’s license and health insurance. It’s been one hurdle after another, but then I got some good news. Watch the video to find out what happened.

Will Germany Let Me Stay?

Will Germany let me stay here and live? We’ve been dealing with issues with my residence permit since we arrived, and we are just now ready to tell you about it! It’s been a big headache, to be honest, so today we fill you in on what’s been going on. We also share what’s going on with my driver’s license, and whether or not I’ve been able to get health insurance here! ACK!

Our Story

In February of 2021, we packed up our American family of six, with four kids ages 11 and under, and moved halfway across the world to Germany to follow our dream of living in Europe again! When we were first married, we lived for two years in France and fell in love with the European way of life. Moving to Germany has been a whirlwind, especially with four kids in tow, but we’re already growing stronger and better from the experiences we are having. It has NOT been easy, but that’s how it usually is in life when you go after your dreams!
