Short stay or long stay? How to choose

Under 3 months or here to stay — the two Moien modes, what changes between them, and why you can switch any time.

Consultant on a three-month mission, trainee, exchange student — or new job, family and a one-way ticket? Moien has a mode for each, because the admin is genuinely different.

Short stay: under 3 months

Furnished monthly flats, arrival pack (eSIM, airport pickup, bedding, kitchen kit), rules for your nationality with a 90-day counter, weekly cleaning in one tap, expense receipts for finance — and end-of-stay clean with deposit tracking. No commune deep-dives you don't need.

Long stay: 3 months or more

The full settlement sequence: appointments booked for you, schools and childcare, car and licence steps, verified homes, an advisor when an office says no — then your home year with services, Circle and perks.

Staying longer than planned?

Switch modes in one tap. What you already paid counts in full. Tell Moien once; it rebuilds the plan around your new timeline.
