  • Medical Prescriptions, Vaccination Documents, etc.
  • Driving License
  • Vehicle Documents (all available documents such as vehicle approval, EU type approval, etc.)
  • E-Form / Portable Documents (European documents confirming social insurance and employment-related information)

Things to check

  • Entry requirements and residence permit
  • Accommodation and social insurance (secure livelihood)
