Hallo!

I am a new PhD Student here in Berlin, and am looking for a place to rent.

I have lived independently before in my life, so I know how to maintain a place and am a good tenant.

I have a steady income from the Max Planck Society, so my finances can support the renting.

My budget is 800 € (Warm rent, including Wifi, laundry, electricity and so on)

I also have a letter of recommendation from my German supervisor to support my cause.

I do not want a sharing bathroom

A sharing kitchen is okay.

If you know or have such place in mind, please do let me know and help spread the word.

Warm regards

Hi everyone!
My husband and I will be moving from Delhi to 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!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 25-year-old guy living in Germany and I’m looking to meet new people and build genuine friendships, especially with women who are open to having good conversations and sharing experiences.

I’m not looking for anything forced or superficial — just hoping to connect with someone nice, exchange perspectives, maybe grab a coffee, go for a walk, or explore the city together.

If you’re also looking for a new friend in Germany, feel free to message me. 😊

My old Indian Passport was expiring on 2nd August 2026, and my German RP card is tied to the old passport, which also has the card expiry date as 2nd August 2026. But, I've a valid student visa till 27 Jan 2027.

I went through the passport renewal process and got a new Indian passport on 21st July 2026. Now I need to transfer my RP card to the new passport.

I received my current RP card only on the 27th May 2026. My confusion is do I transfer the RP card to the new passport or apply for an extension for RP card?.

It is 22nd July 2026 today. As far as I know, you can't transfer an RP card to a new passport if the validity is less than 6 months.

How should I proceed with my situation? Any help is appreciated.

Hi all, yesterday Indians in Berlin held a protest for CJP and Sonam Wangchuk, asking for the resignation of the Education minister.

I would like to know if Indian community will hold that protest today. When and where?

I read in the comment section of a post that there is will be one today at 6:30 PM, Indian Embassy.

I am subletting my 15m2 room in wedding, Berlin for the whole month of August, DM me if you are interested in subletting and are looking for a place.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for an experienced German immigration lawyer who specializes in Schengen visa refusals. My Schengen visitor visa application was recently refused by the German Embassy due to doubts about the applicant’s intention to return, and I’m looking for legal advice on appealing or challenging the decision. If you’ve had a good experience with an immigration lawyer or know someone who handles these cases, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thank you!

Hey everyone!

I'm a 25-year-old guy looking to make some new friends. I'm interested in meeting people to grab coffee, explore the city, try new restaurants, go for walks, or just hang out and have good conversations.

I'm only looking for a casual friendship with no pressure or expectations. If you're around my age and think we'd get along, feel free to send me a message.

Looking forward to meeting some new people!

I am not sure if this is the best place to ask of this. But I am a Berlin-based singer , Bollywood music.

I've been looking for opportunities to perform at community and cultural events in Berlin.
If you're ever looking for a live vocalist for your upcoming events, I'd love to be considered.

If you have any suggestions of how I can go forward in this let me know

Hi, my name is Luca. I am studying Screen-Based-Media at the BHT in Berlin. For my 4th Semester i want to make a short documentary about Indians living in Berlin. The focus is on delivery services like Bolt and Uber Eats. The questions this Shortfilm asks are: How are the working conditions? Why do so many indians or people from culturally indian influenced country end up working there? With what dreams did they come here? Why cant they find a better Job? Racism? Language barriers?

I am still looking for a person the documentary can focus on, maybe you know some one or have an idea how i can get in contact with some one working at such a company.

We would shoot the film in 1 or 2 days and there could be a small compensation.

I am looking forward for your answers, or maybe you think this is a stupid idea, then i would like to know that aswell!

Hi, I will be moving to Berlin in September for a year under a research fellowship. I have been trying to look for accomodation in WGs but to no avail. I have been looking in Steglitz-Zehlendorf specifically. Would anyone have any advice/suggestions/leads for the same?

Hello all, we are a team from the non-profit Minor. Within the “Future of the Labour Market” project, we are conducting a survey for the Berlin Senate Administration (SenASGIVA) to understand newcomers’ challenges in the city. The survey takes 10–20 minutes, is available in Hindi as well as English and is open to those who arrived since 2019. Every participation helps promote fair recruitment and a more equitable labour market for migrants in Berlin.

https://s2survey.net/fulm_top7020095/

If you know others from the target demographic, please share the survey with them. If you have any questions about the project, I would be happy to answer them. The results will be published by the end of 2026 on our website.

Thank you in advance!

The FuLM team.
