Sort somewhere to stay for your first weeks
Overview
Long-term apartment after you arrive; a bridge until then.
The question you never knew to ask“Can I even rent an apartment before I am in the country?”
Why it matters
You will usually need to be here to view a long-term apartment, and many applications ask for papers you only get after arriving. A temporary place can give you an address to register with. Check that yours does.
