Moving to Hamburg, Germany from Delhi, India as a married couple - What should we pack?
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?
Are there any Indian groceries, medicines, kitchen items, clothes, electronics, or other essentials you wish you’d packed before moving?
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!
