It's easy to get out of Germany, but difficult to get back in as a former (and future) emigrant.
Phone card ... It's not that easy to find accommodation ... It's not that easy either.
What's more, funnily enough, not even the Portuguese credit card works abroad.
Now there may be money there but not here. Because I closed the account here after I emigrated.
A new account ... It's not that simple.
As a rule, you have an identity card and an address and possibly a job and ... "it's as simple as that".
Well, maybe you have a family that takes you in or friends. But when you're suddenly back ... suddenly everyone is kind of busy, has no room and, and, and ...
Foreseeable for me in advance, but also not a reason NOT to hike back.
You now have a better overview of what it means to re-establish yourself in Germany as a former emigrant.
It is problematic and time-consuming and also annoying. If you want to achieve normal status, you probably need a year and you'll be nice and German again (if that's even possible). However, if everything takes time, it is not only problematic because of the length of time, but also problematic if Germany is only an interim solution.
In other EU countries, everything is actually quite simple. If you have an apartment, you can or do not necessarily have to register, but after a certain time it is advisable to do so. If you take your car with you, you must also re-register your car six months after you officially move or move in. The times at which this must be done are irregular, usually after 6 months of your move. (I am talking exclusively about EU citizens moving within the EU)
So it could be that my car will have a Portuguese license plate from 2024, but a French one from the middle of next year. Or even first a German one and then a French one. You end up mixing up your own license plates.
(It took 4½ months to re-register my car and get a Portuguese registration. Portuguese people have time.)
