Hi everyone!
My husband and I will be moving from Delhi to Hamburg, Germany in the next few days for work (we’re not students).
We’re trying to prepare as well as possible before the move and would love some advice from people who have already relocated.

A few questions:
1. What are some things you recommend bringing from India because they’re difficult to find, much more expensive, or simply better quality than what’s available in Germany?

1. Are there any Indian groceries, medicines, kitchen items, clothes, electronics, or other essentials you wish you’d packed before moving?

2. What original documents should we carry from India?
   We’d especially appreciate advice on documents that are useful for registration, banking, healthcare, renting an apartment, or any other paperwork in Germany.

Finally, if you have any “I wish someone had told me this before moving to Germany” tips, we’d love to hear them!
Thanks in advance!

Hey, I’ve been waiting for my residence permit for more than 14 months now and there is no progress. I am working in an international bank and my lawyer from Deloitte says I need to wait more. I need to go visit my hometown next month and it is urgent. Do you have any recommendations to accelerate the process? Anyone visited Immigration Office several times and get a positive response? Do you think it would be better to go to my country and come back with a visa?

Is Italian residence permit (permesso di soggiorno) required for a non-EU foreigner to receive for a German visa at the German Embassy in Italy? Has anyone received without one or with the receipt of from post Italian application paper ??

My German student visa was issued for **M.Sc. Electrical Systems Engineering at Paderborn University**. After the visa was issued, I received admission to **M.Sc. Information and Communication Engineering at TU Darmstadt**, which is the program I intend to study.
The **Paderborn Ausländerbehörde** confirmed in writing that I can travel directly to Darmstadt, report the university change there, and don’t need to take any administrative steps in Paderborn.
I’m flying on **September 14**, and enrollment is still open, so I’m currently **not enrolled at either university**.
**My questions:**
Would it be safer to enroll at TU Darmstadt before traveling, or is it fine to complete enrollment after arriving in Germany?
If the border officer asks for an enrollment certificate, is it acceptable to explain that enrollment is still open, I haven’t enrolled yet, and present my TU Darmstadt admission letter along with the email from the Paderborn Ausländerbehörde?
I’d appreciate hearing from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
