ONLINE COURSES (WORK IN PROGRESS!)
I’ll teach you the different paths to get a residence permit to work in Germany.

Customer Testimonials
James provided me with great, plain-English advice and helped me with the next actionable steps I need to take with regard to setting myself up as part-time self-employed as sole trader, in addition to my regular employment.
This was hands down one of the most excellent consultations I have had regarding expat matters. I speak from experience, having been an expat in 10 countries over two decades. So Mr Meads gets an A+ recommendation from me! I have no doubt I may need James again down the line!
By the way I called the prospective employer and made them an offer. They agreed to take me under a permanent contract, so thank you for your excellent information.
