Think of this as basically your “Green Card.” If you don’t have a No Fee passport yet, you may enter Germany on a tourist visa but will need to obtain your SOFA card within 90 days of entry. This will have a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) card with basically states that you are allowed to be living in Germany (without a German work permit) under the command of the US Military.
No-Fee Passport: This passport is issued to all command sponsored family members at no fee.There are two kinds of passports for military members and families stationed in Germany. (Taken from Ramstein Air Base official Facebook page post ) Passports Transient passengers also need to make reservations in advance at a Ramstein Air Base Hotel. Make your reservation immediately after receiving your arrival date. You will need to quarantine immediately upon arrival, so you’ll need lodging booked before arrival. While this is always true, it is especially important during our current circumstances of Covid. Reserve on-base lodging as soon as possible Take a look at the official Ramstein Air Base website for PCS information. ^Starting Your PCS to Ramstein?

You can also get a free Mango Language account with your USAFE library account or sign up for a free Duolingo account.

I personally have a hard time with the German language – I struggle even reading it but trying to use some German goes a long way. Most of the time I get ‘a little bit’ as an answer and proceed to have an entire conversation in English. Don’t be fooled, I ask ‘Sprechen sie Englisch?’ all the time. In this area, actually the entire Kaiserslautern A ir Force Base area, many locals speak English. The population is made up of active duty, retirees, DoD civilians, DoDEA employees, and their family members. This area has a very large American military community. With that said, travel is highly encouraged.
The work tempo can vary depending on command. It is home to the 86 Air Wing, AMC 721, USAFE-AFAFRICOM, and NATO. In the Air Force community, most people associate an assignment in Germany with Ramstein Airforce Base. All I wanted was to be stationed in the middle of Europe and it finally happened! We got one of the biggest US A ir Force Bases in Germany Ramstein AFB!Ĭheck Out Our Other “Stationed In Germany” Posts from Fellow Germany Bloggers: Our family has been blessed to be stationed all over the world.
