Safety & rules

Winter humidity and actual heating matter. Ask for July bills and inspect corners and cupboards for mold.

SAFETY, NOT A SINGLE SCORE

Three different risks

Crime & scams

Assess the specific neighborhood, school route and transport choices. Current risk types and regional restrictions are in the official advice below.

Conflict & regional warnings

Check active regional warnings for your planned home and journeys. A national score cannot replace them.

Roads & transport

Before bringing your car, establish license recognition, temporary import or registration, mandatory insurance and parking costs. Purchase and import are separate from monthly running costs.

NATURAL EVENTS

What is happening in this country

All GDACS reports

Rights, police & documents

Check address registration, permitted stay, extensions and authorized work. Keep copies of passport, status and insurance separate from originals, plus a local lawyer and your country's consular contacts.

Do not sign legal documents you do not understand without translation and advice. Do not assume an informal payment resolves a problem lawfully.

Communication & business culture without stereotypes

A smile, friendliness or a verbal yes is not a contract. Confirm the agreed scope, decision maker, response deadline and completion criteria. Follow meetings with a written summary in a language both parties understand.

Before paying a deposit, verify company registration, signatory authority, address, licenses and refund terms. Use milestone payments and independent checks for major deals. This addresses concrete risks, not honesty stereotypes based on nationality.
