General information
Saxony has a number of independent, non-governmental institutions and counselling centres offering support. There are organisations operating right across Saxony, and there are counselling centres right in your local city. A list of them can be found here:
www.integrationsakteure.sachsen.de
The most important partners for all queries relating to your legal residency and social benefits are the local foreigners' office and housing and social welfare authorities at the district offices/city administrations of the independent municipalities of Chemnitz, Dresden and Leipzig. These are often all combined into one 'immigration office' or 'foreigners' office'. Housing and social welfare authorities are sometimes also structured as part of a 'social welfare office'.
The Free State of Saxony is divided into 10 administrative districts and 3 independent cities. Each administrative district and independent city has an aliens’ registration authority and an accommodation authority. Enquire whether your local area has a welcome centre and, if so, visit this first.
