Freelance Visa

I know how you feel when you get ready for your freelance visa interview - anxious and uncertain. You probably ask yourself 

 

 

Am I missing any important document?

What are other criteria that go into consideration?

Will I receive my visa on spot?

 

 

It is a nerve-wracking procedure. I have been there, done that. My secret sauce is my years-long experience, countless cases and most importantly the guidance that now turned into my mission.

What are the other steps to settle in Berlin?

What if they don't speak English at all?

about me

My name is Maria Lupandina. I'm a language professional from Russia based in Berlin. Back in 2016, I started as a freelance English tutor in Berlin and in some months became a Berlin city coach or relocation consultant. Since then I’ve accumulated a lot of experience in getting a freelance residence permit, flat search, and interviews at Agentur für Arbeit. I've been working with awesome companies and am thankful for all this experience I gained through them. My end customers were mostly IT hires of a fashion company, a fin-tech one (online banking), and a meal-kit company.

Presently, I’m excited to be a global mobility specialist in a fast-growing Berlin start-up, Flink, consulting on visas and relocation, being in direct contact with talent acquisition, new candidates, current employees, and managers.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“Maria is really professional when it comes to house search or arranging an appointment with the embassy or home office. She also helped me find a house in Prenzlauer Berg in Berlin in no time - while I was relocating for my new job in Berlin. I would definitely recommend Maria.”
