A new country changes more than your address.
Starting a new life and career in Germany means entering a new cultural environment. Communication, leadership, teamwork and everyday expectations may work differently – often in ways that are not immediately visible.For more than 30 years, compass international has helped people and organizations navigate these differences with confidence.
We support international professionals in understanding German working culture without asking them to give up their own identity. At the same time, we help companies build the intercultural competence they need to create inclusive teams, address unconscious bias and turn diversity into genuine collaboration.
Integration is not a one-way-street
It requires curiosity, reflection and the willingness to understand different perspectives. Through intercultural workshops, diversity and anti-bias training and team development, we create spaces in which differences can be discussed openly and used constructively. We support companies to create onboarding processes and welcoming cultures in which international employees can contribute, connect and stay for the long term.
Our goal is not simply to help people arrive.
It is to help people understand one another, contribute their strengths and develop a real sense of belonging.
compass international – we integrate people.

Ei Gude and welcome to Mainhatten!
The best news first: You have chosen a fantastic piece of Germany for your new chapter! The Rhine-Main region is economically attractive, diverse, and full of opportunities. However, in order to truly enjoy all of this, you need a place to switch off and recharge.

HAVENS LIVING Frankfurt
Arriving in a new city is one of those moments full of possibility, and it goes best when the practical worries simply fall away. That is what HAVENS LIVING is built for.
How to find the right place for you
One of the first things newcomers have to do is find somewhere to live. Housing in Frankfurt Rhine-Main is pretty affordable compared to other international cities, but you‘ll have to put in the effort to find the right place.
How to Apartment Hunt
When you’re looking for a property, it’s always a good idea to dress for the occasion. Because of the shortage of housing, landlords often have to choose between several candidates.
Registration
Germany is a well-run country, as you’ll soon find out. But bureaucracy is a price you pay for keeping a well-run operation.
Residency and Work Permits
If you’re an EU citizen or from Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, you can work and live in Germany without a work or residence permit.
Choosing a Relocation Agency
There are lots of services out there to help with international relocations, but not all of them will be right for every expat.
Moving with Children
Even if your belongings have arrived on time and your house hunt has gone well, it’s important to make sure your kids feel at home.
Getting Married in Germany
If you fall in love during your time in Germany, you might want to tie the knot.
Nannies
It’s pretty common for international families to hire a professional nanny to help out with the kids, especially if both parents are working full-time.
