Every year, over 400,000 people move to Germany for studies, work, or family. They all face the same overwhelming checklist — in a country where most services are designed for German speakers. We fix that.
Sites like Check24 and Verivox are great for Germans, but they don't filter by nationality, visa type, or language. An Indian student on a student visa sees the same results as a German citizen — even though half the options will silently reject their application.
ExpatNav fixes that. We show you only the providers that will actually accept you. No wasted applications. No surprises. No guessing which company supports English.
Every provider is tagged with which nationalities, visa types, and situations it accepts. Filter once — see only what's available to you.
Setup fees, monthly fees, hidden charges, and 12-month totals. Not just the headline number providers advertise.
Read experiences from people who share your background. A Nigerian student's experience differs from a Chinese student's — we surface both.
Rankings are never influenced by commissions. We include non-affiliate providers and demote bad ones regardless of partnerships.
Every decision starts with: does this help the person trying to settle in Germany?
We'd rather be slower to publish than wrong. Every data point is verified from primary sources.
We design for the person who just landed, speaks limited German, and needs answers now.
ExpatNav is completely free to use. We earn revenue through affiliate commissions — when you sign up with a provider through one of our links, the provider may pay us a referral fee at zero additional cost to you.
Affiliate relationships never influence our rankings. Period.
We include providers without affiliate programs if they deserve it (like TK and AOK). We rank providers with affiliate programs lower if they're objectively worse.
We welcome new listings. Inclusion is free and based on editorial merit — not payment. We need your pricing, eligibility information, and feature details.
