Cross-border living and working arrangements with a German nexus

Self-employed people, entrepreneurs and location-independent professionals are advised on the legal structure of cross-border living and working arrangements. Advice is available in German, English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.

A common starting point is residence in another EU Member State while professional links, clients, a business or a self-employed structure remain in Germany. EU free movement, physical working locations, social security and professional requirements must then be considered as parts of one arrangement.

The migration and free-movement basis and the EU-law rules applicable in Germany are assessed first. The relevant interfaces are then organised and, where necessary, the competent institutions or suitable specialists in the countries involved are coordinated.

Legal advice is limited to German law, including the EU-law rules applicable in Germany. Tax advice is not provided.

Advice is available before a planned move or for an arrangement already in operation. Residence, nationality, physical working locations, working status, professional infrastructure and the family situation are mapped into a reliable sequence of next steps.

FAQ

It is particularly relevant to self-employed and independent professionals who live in one country while retaining professional links to Germany or several countries. The assessment may take place before a move or review an existing arrangement.

No. I advise on migration and EU free movement law. I can identify the interfaces with tax law, structure the facts for specialist advice and coordinate the involvement of suitable tax advisers.

Yes, where there is a clear German nexus. Arrangements involving third countries are usually more complex from an immigration perspective and must be scoped by reference to the country and activity concerned.

A final assessment requires a defined destination country. At an earlier planning stage, different models can be compared to identify their legal issues and the information still needed before a decision.

Discuss Your Cross-Border Arrangement

I assess the migration-law framework, structure the remaining workstreams and coordinate suitable specialists in the countries involved where required.
