EXPAT LIFE
RELOCATE
AND RELAX
Remarkably cosmopolitan for a city of its size, Düsseldorf reveals a diverse population where waves of immigration in past decades have left a rich ethnic legacy. Newcomers from the Mediterranean and Middle East, Asia as well as eastern and southern EU have enriched the local community, bringing with them new creeds and cuisines.
The city is home to the largest Japanese community in mainland Europe. Dutch, British, American, French, Turkish and Chinese citizens are also well represented. Everyone seems to rub along pretty well together.
Large corporations and businesses from around the world are present in Düsseldorf. Businesses originating in US, Japan, China, Korea, Britain and many more show a desire for expats to relocate. We are here to help.
