Now that you are in Germany, what will you do next?What things should you do next?
What papers should you immediately process?
After the day I have arrived in Germany, I immediately went to our local Town Hall or City Hall. In German this is called the "Rathaus". My spouse and the office employee talked in German so I really don't understand what they are talking about. All I know was that I was going to register myself as a RESIDENT IN THE TOWN where I am living.
I was given a "Certificate of Residency Form" to fill-up my personal details (Name, Birth date, Address etc). After I submitted the form, I was given a photocopy of it and then my Philippine Passport was stamped with a Town Seal. They have also given me another form which I should submit to the Alien's Office or Immigrant's Office together with my passport, passport picture and the Certificate of Residence. This step was for 1 year extension of my VISA.
We went to the Alien's Office or Immigrant's Office and submitted the documents. This is called Ausländeramt in German. The Alien's office told that I needed to join or enroll in a Basic German Integration Course (Language Course) and that all the papers that I have submitted to them will be forwarded to the Rathaus together with my passport with the VISA extension in it.After a week, the Rathaus mailed me that I could already pick-up my documents.
My VISA was extended for 1 year. And before my VISA expires I have to go to the Ausländeramt again to extend my visa.
How did you extend your VISA and for how many years? Have you encountered problems upon registering yourself as a Resident in your town?

HI there.
I have been following your blogs and you have helped me tons in the smooth process of my Visa, oh well,especially the mentail conditioning.
I got my Visa now and is due to leave Phils in two months. My question though is, when your visa was extended to one year, is that already a Multiply Entry? coz the first 90day Visa they issue is a Single Entry.
Anyway, some tips, so you may update your Blog (if you like )
