Immigration Advice for Adult Migrants (MBE)

The normal German Red Cross (DRK) program for young people and families is also meant for refugees and people who have recently migrated.

We focus on providing targeted and comprehensive help in individual cases for foreigners and immigrants who have come to Germany and aim to facilitate and guide assimilation into the social, cultural and professional areas of life.

For whom?

• Migrants with a chance to stay permanently and ethnic German repatriates over 27 years of age, their spouses/partners and children
• EU citizens 27 years of age and older

Please come to us as soon as you can after entering Germany!

Our program is voluntary, confidential and free of cost.
