Starting over in another country isn't easy, but you're not alone on this journey. Here are some recommendations we share with people who first come to APA.

1. Learn the local language from day one

Even a basic level makes a huge difference in your daily life. Our German workshop is always available to the community.

2. Organize your documents and paperwork

Keep copies of your important documents and stay on top of your immigration paperwork. If you have legal questions, we can guide you.

3. Understand how health insurance works

It's mandatory and must be arranged within a set deadline. Read our health insurance guide for more details.

4. Connect with your community

Taking part in courses and activities is a great way to build a support network.

5. Ask for help when you need it

Whether it's legal matters, documents, insurance, or job search, at APA we offer personalized support. Contact us whenever you need to.
