What is a relocation package for a job?
-
Relocation package involves covering the expenses for an employee moving for a job. This can be either
full or a part of the expenses, usually in the form of reimbursements. Your relocation package will help you settle
easier into the new country, which helps you concentrate fully on your new job.

Do all companies which offer relocation assistance also offer visa support?

In some cases, companies only offer relocation assistance for jobs but not visa support.
What this usually means is that they are open to candidates already available in the country, as it may take a longer
period to hire candidates from abroad.

How does relocation packages work?
-
In most cases, your employer will hire a relocation agency for you and they will pay for the services.
The relocation agency will then assign you a person (agent) to help you through relocating.
Your agent will start from helping with documents you need to apply for your visa in your home country. They can also help you
find appointments for Anmeldung (address registration) or with Ausländerbehörde (foreigner's office) for
blue card.
They can also help you find short term or long term apartments, help understand the rental contracts (which will be in German).
Relocation agencies can also help your family with the same procedures, so this is not restricted to only you.

Can I do all of this myself without a relocation agency?
-
Yes, of course. It is just easier with a relocation agency especially when you are new to Germany and do not speak
the German language. If you have a budget or your company offers relocation support, I would recommend you to take it.
