Built by someone who moved here too.

Every Indian moving to Germany asks the same questions. The answers are scattered across WhatsApp groups, Reddit threads, and half-updated blog posts. I built this site to collect them in one place.

Settling in a new country is mostly a paperwork problem. You need an address registration, then you need health insurance, then you need a bank account, then you need to file taxes, and somewhere in that maze you also want to find paneer, a Hausarzt who speaks Hindi, and people who understand why the Ausländerbehörde sent you a letter in German that you cannot read.

indianingermany.com exists to make that maze shorter. It is an independent resource, directory, and curated list of links, written specifically for Indians in Germany. I maintain it personally.

What makes it different

• Structured, not a link dump. You can filter by city, category, or platform. Search finds what you need in seconds.
• Honest about data quality. Listings are marked Verified or Unverified. Every card has a Report issue link. No pretending.
• Guides written by someone who lived them. Specific numbers, specific institutions, specific workarounds. Not stock advice.
• Free to read, always. Some links may be affiliate partnerships, clearly disclosed. No paywalls, no surprise fees.

Editorial standards

Guides cite the specific German institutions, paragraphs of law, or official sources they describe. Where numbers change (thresholds, fees), I mark the date last verified. Where official processes vary by city, I say so.

Every guide is fact-checked against primary sources, and each one shows the date it was last checked. In July 2026 I audited all 96 guides against BAMF, the Auswärtiges Amt, gesetze-im-internet.de, individual city immigration offices, and the Indian missions in Germany. It found real errors — a wrong consulate jurisdiction, several immigration figures that changed in 2024 and 2025, and city appointment systems that had been replaced. Those are fixed, and what changed is written up in a guide about exactly which rules went stale, rather than quietly patched.

German immigration rules move faster than most sites keep up with. If a date on a guide looks old to you, treat the numbers with suspicion and check the official source — that is the honest advice, and it is why the date is shown at all.

I am not a lawyer, tax advisor, or doctor. Guides are a starting point, not professional advice. For a specific case, consult a qualified professional. I link to Steuerberater and legal associations in the directory.

How to contribute

The directory grows because readers submit listings they trust. If you found a good Indian grocery, a doctor who speaks your language, a tax advisor who handled your case well, or a WhatsApp group worth joining, add it through the contribute form. I review and verify every submission before publishing.

Guides are harder to contribute ad hoc, but if you have a topic nobody has written about yet (naturalisation, Kita enrollment, moving back to India), email me and we can work on it together.

Privacy and data

I use privacy-friendly analytics (Vercel Analytics, cookieless) and Google Analytics only with your explicit consent. No advertising pixels or session recording. When you submit a contribution, I store only what you typed into the form, in a Supabase database hosted in the EU (Frankfurt). I contact you only if I have a question about your submission.
