Moving to Stuttgart: Anmeldung, residence permit and first steps

Most people arriving in Stuttgart deal with the same handful of things in their first weeks: a place to live, registering that address, health insurance, a bank account, and — if you are not an EU citizen — a residence permit.

This page gathers what RechtX holds on the two offices behind those steps, with the official links and the date each entry was last checked. For the wider process, the guides and the personal plan walk through the order step by step.

How appointments work

The route depends on your residence purpose

How to apply

Use the Ausländerbehörde's appointment information for your specific request. A visit requires a confirmed appointment.

What happens next

The authority confirms the appointment before the visit. The residence-permit service is application-based, so the route follows the specific residence matter.

If the authority does not respond

Use the contact route stated on the appointment page for your request. Do not assume every residence matter uses the same calendar.
