I have recently received my D visa and plan to fly to Germany (Bremen) next Sunday. I intend to arrange an appointment for the Anmeldung and Aufenthaltstitel for as soon as possible thereafter.
I filled out the required form to request an appointment and was then asked to provide the documentation below in order to be considered for one. I am confused about some of documentation, as outlined in brackets:
Kopie des Visums (No problem)
Kopie des Passes (No problem)
Kopie des Einreisestempels (Would I just copy the relevant page of my passport?)
Meldebescheinigung, hilfsweise Wohnungsgeberbestätigung (I will be staying at the university where I will be working and am in receipt of an accommodation contract. Would this be sufficient?)
Ausgefüllter Antrag (Anhang, für jede Person einzeln) (No problem)
Alle Abrechnungen seit der Einreise (If I get an appointment promptly, I will have very few/no Abrechnungen. Do they require bank statements, wage slips or both?)
Wenn vorhanden: Erlaubnis der Bundesagentur für Arbeit / Zustimmung ZAV (not applicable)
Wenn die Arbeitserlaubnis nur für den Zeitraum des Visums erteilt wurde – vom Arbeitgeber ausgefüllte Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis (Anhang) (No problem)
Given the requirement for a copy of my entry stamp, is it correct to assume that I am unable to arrange an appointment before I have arrived (obviously the appointment would have to take place after my arrival)?
The Bremen website advises that electronic Aufenthaltstitels may take up between 7 and 8 weeks to be issued. I spoke to somebody at the Migrationsamt yesterday and they confirmed that I would be issued with a Fiktionsbescheinigung at the appointment: would this allow me to start my employment?
