Moving from Romania to Hannover.

The good news is that being the spouse of an EU citizen and already having an EU residency permit, you should not need an additional visa to come to Germany. One can use a non-permanent address, say of a hotel or hostel for the initial registration and change it when one has a long term one. The thing is that of course nobody wants to rent out a place if the renters have no work. And who would want a commitment to an apartment if they don’t know if they can find work and stay? Thus people try to line up a job first, or find one as quick as possible while staying in shorter term accommodation. In this context I can make more sense to have a place one can rent by the week or month instead of a long term commitment.

But one can spend a lot of money if months go by and you don’t find work, which will depend on your skills, education, experience and likely the proficiency of your German. And I don’t know about Hannover in particular but the housing marketing is very tight in most big German cities, especially for foreigners. I would seriously suggest you use Google and investigate the job market for your profession and look at some employment sites like www.indeed.de before getting your hopes up too high. Unless you have a really high education or niche job, without decent German skills one is only likely to find the worse paid jobs like putting food on the shelves in super markets, cleaning buildings, cooking in a fast food restaurant…

Thank Tom for the fruitful info.
Now i have a friend living in Stuttgart who will be able to host me with my family at his house (owner). My question is, can i register in Stuttgart and then move to Hannover after that to look for a job (will stay in hotel or some friends since i will go alone there), shall i register again in Hannover registration office or shall i pay them a visit to inform that i changed my address or shall i do that only when i got a job and rent a house there?

I think you official are supposed to register where even and whenever you move. But I don’t know about the legality of you going alone. I think the basis of your EU residency is based on being married to an EU citizen. Living apart suggests it is a marriage of convenience and not legitimate – and this can get you deported. I think it will be likely scrutinized and if you don’t have some very good answers to explain such a situation then you will be in trouble. And it sounds strange that you would go to Hannover to look for work when you have a friend who can put you up in Stuttgart. Why? Stuttgart is bigger and the most prosperous area of Germany.

Landlords prefer tenants with job because those are more likely to pay the rent. If you have sufficient savings, as you said, then you can reduce the landlord‘s worries by, for example, offering to pay the rent for the first year in advance (together with the usual 3 months deposit), as a lump sum. This is not common and not all landlords will agree, but it would certainly show that you are serious.
In addition, I agree with Tom: Unless you‘re in a niche profession AND speak German well, be prepared for a long and possibly frustrating job search. You may want to read my sticky post about the topic - then you will understand that a few months may not be enough. So have a plan B!

You don‘t need to register in Hannover if you are there only temporarily.

The question is how to define temporary? When one is searching for a job and has no apartment of their own then wherever they are is temporary. And say in the scenario one lands in Hannover and the days become weeks and then months as one still doesn’t find a job or long term accommodation… One would expect to register in such a situation again as far as I know. But it would be best to ask the officials themselves. If one registers in Stuttgart, say by a friend, then theoretically one can stay in touch and they can still find you; something which not work if one would register the address of a hotel but keep changing… If I were doing this, I would register the first place that makes sense and ask then at the office when and how to register any new address. The problem might be that different officials see things different ways. I’ve had plenty of times when a government official told me to do one thing and then the next says it was wrong and even a third disagrees with the first 3. In such a case best to have things written down and the name of the person who wrote it so you can refer to this.

Hi guys, I really appreciate your assistance and tour valuable feedbacks. I think i will try first in Stuttgart where at least i have an accomodation and will see hiw things will be going the will decide.
Thanks a lots.
