One of the most important requirements of a Freelancer Visa is having a registered living address in Germany. The procedure of registering your residence is called Anmeldung. What you have to do is:

1. Find a place to live. You can also find accommodation before you travel to Germany, but you have to register your living address within 14 days of moving in.
2. Make an appointment at the local Resident’s Registration Office (Bürgeramt). Depending on the specific Registration Office, you could do this online without having to visit the office in person.
3. Prepare the following documents:
   1. Your passport.
   2. The registration form. You can download this online or get it at the Registration Office.
   3. Rental agreement.
   4. Confirmation of moving in from your landlord. The confirmation must contain the landlord’s name and address, your move-in date, and your new apartment’s address.
   5. Civil status documents, such as birth or marriage certificates.
4. Submit the documents (in person) at the Bürgeramt on the date of your appointment.
5. Wait to get your Meldebescheinigung. This is the document confirming your residence registration, and you usually get the certificate on the same day.
6. Wait to receive a Tax ID number. You need this number to register your freelance activity with the German Tax Office. This process could take a few weeks, so make sure to start the application process as early as you can.

Registering with the Tax Office

To begin freelancing, you have to register with the German Tax Office (Finanzamt) and declare your freelance activity or business and get a freelance tax number (Steuernummer). To do this, you have to:

1. Complete the Questionnaire for Tax Collection (Fragebogen zur steuerlichen Erfassung)*. You can complete this form online, via the website of the German Ministry of Finances (Bundesministerium der Finanzen) or you can request it from the Finanzamt. You should have the following information at hand:
   1. Your Tax ID Number. The one you received when you registered your address.
   2. Your bank information.
   3. A detailed description of your freelance activity or business.
2. Find the local Finanzamt (Tax Office). Make an appointment, if one is required.
3. Send the questionnaire to the Finanzamt in person. You may also be able to mail it, depending on the specific office.
4. Wait to receive your freelance tax number (Steuernummer). It could take a few weeks, and you should receive it via mail.

*If you are a business owner: You have to register your business and get a license at the local Trade Office (Gewerbeschein) before you complete the Questionnaire for Tax Collection.

Registering with the tax office can be quite daunting and complex, especially for freelancers who have no experience with the German tax system.

第二步：在德国大使馆申请自雇签证

一旦您的商业计划获得批准，您就可以在您居住国的德国大使馆开始申请创业活动的自雇签证。该签证将使您有权进入德国开展业务。

 第 3 步：抵达德国并获得临时居留许可
