For expats & international freelancers

Proof of income for self-employed expats in Germany

You freelance in Germany, have no payslips and no tax advisor – but your landlord or the Ausländerbehörde wants proof of income? We prepare an Einkommensbescheinigung, checked and signed by a German tax advisor.

From 200 € net · fixed-price offer upfront · no ongoing contract

When you need it

Apartment applications

Landlords in Berlin, Munich, Hamburg or Cologne want proof that you can pay the rent. Without payslips, your application often lands at the bottom of the pile.

Residence permit & visa

For a freelance visa extension, settlement permit, family reunification or naturalisation, the Ausländerbehörde may ask for proof of your self-employed income.

Bank & financing

Banks and loan providers also ask freelancers for a confirmed income statement.
