Settlio is a planning tool for moving to Germany. Relocation rarely fails due to a lack of information, but rather because of the sequence: without landlord confirmation (Wohnungsgeberbestätigung) there is no address registration (Anmeldung), without registration no tax ID, and without a tax ID, the wrong tax bracket ends up on the first paycheck. Settlio therefore does not map the relocation as a checklist, but rather as a dependency graph. Users can see at any time which step is blocked, which one is ready, and which one is due next – personalized by nationality, destination city, and residence permit: EU Blue Card, skilled workers under Section 18a/b, Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), studies, freelance work under Section 21, and family reunification. Each step is given a best-case, an expected, and a delayed date. For twelve high-demand countries of origin, real waiting times at German diplomatic missions are factored into the forecast. Currently covered are Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Stuttgart, and Cologne – each with the relevant local authority, such as the KVR in Munich. The target group includes international skilled workers, students, and families moving to Germany, as well as their employers.
Dealing with German bureaucracy isn't complicated because information is missing – it can be found in forums, blogs, and information sheets. It's complicated because the sequence is nowhere to be found. Settlio makes this sequence visible and plannable before costly mistakes happen.
The standard for moving to Germany: nearly all federal states, all residence permits, multilingual – with forecasts based on actual processing times by authorities rather than estimates.
