am considering an extended travel trip to bavaria....
I was born in Bavaria....since have moved to the U.S. and have served in the U.S. Military and have been granted 100 percent disability where I receive a steady income....I am interested in going "home" to visit family and possibly relocate for a few years....wondering what the process is and where to go to find out about that....driving, taxes, visiting, etc., etc., etc. Thanks anyone, everyone!!!!

I've left this for a few days to see if anyone else had any answers, but as they don't I'll give you my little bit. Wrt your driving license, what you have to do will depend upon which state you are from. The German authorities have agreements to transfer (or not) a US license into a German one, on a state by state basis. There is a list, somewhere, telling you which states are transferable and which are not. But as a guide my (ex) friend from CA was most ****ed to find that she had to take a test to get a German license, whist someone from a state which she regarded as having a noddy ("get in the car and drive 15 yards") test (NV I think) was given one "on the nod". Note that to get a German license via a test, this requires that you have taken a certain number of hours of professional tuition, you can't just turn up at the test centre and demonstrate that you can drive. Of course, you are allowed to drive on your US license (probably with an International license), but this will only be a for a few weeks or months. tim |
