Have you decided to live in Germany permanently, for professional or private reasons? You will need German language skills and up-to-date information about life in Germany. The Goethe-Institut offers you quality support to best prepare you for a successful life in Germany.

Our Offers

Would you like personal advice online or at the Goethe-Institut? We can answer your questions about everyday life and working life in Germany, proof of language proficiency, exit procedures, leaving the country, and everyday life in Germany or the German working world.

Write us an email at Vorintegration-India@goethe.de

Our information sessions provide you with information on living and working in Germany. The topics range from proof of language proficiency, recognition of certificates, health and school systems to the visa process. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and get an overview of other advice centres.

When people from different cultures meet, uncertainties and frustrations may arise. Living in a foreign society is successful when trusting relationships can be built and maintained. For this to happen, criteria must be fulfilled, which we would like to introduce to you through our intercultural workshops.

To take up a job in Germany, you have to prove your German language skills. In our workshops on examination and learning strategies, we support you in developing learning strategies and familiarizing for the language examinations of the Goethe-Institut.

Are you leaving for Germany soon or are you already there? In our regular workshops "Mein Weg nach Deutschland: Living and working in Germany” you will receive comprehensive information to help you prepare for your arrival in Germany and make it easier for you to settle in.
