Moving to Germany means untangling a dozen unfamiliar processes at once, usually while reading official guidance that was never written with you in mind. This site walks through that process in the order you actually meet it: visa route, points, salary thresholds, blocked account, so each tool answers the question you have right now, not a generic one. It's built by one developer working from BAMF and Make-it-in-Germany's own published rules, so you can always trace a number back to where it came from.
