Moving To Germany from India

Moving to Germany from India

Moving to the land-locked nation of Germany can be a big change for Indian citizens. Not only will you need to learn a new language you will also need to navigate a new culture and new traditions. Not to mention, the German language can be kind of tough to learn, with words as long as 79 letters.

Beyond all that, you still have to manage the logistics of an international move. You can choose between sea, land, and air freight. Air freight is the fastest and most expensive, and usually reserved for antiques or other valuables. Sea and land freight are cheaper but could potentially take longer.

Three Movers is one of the most highly rated international moving companies in the world. We specialize in customized international moving plan, ensuring that your move process is as smooth and stress-free as possible. Our complete inventory and all the logistics of your move are handled by our team of experts, from customs clearance process and customs clearance management to transportation method. We also take care of all your personal paperwork, from visa applications to customs declarations. Our pre-move planning process helps you make the most of your personal move, and our packing services will keep your belongings safe and secure on their journey to Germany. Trust Three Movers with your international move process – we'll take care of everything for you!

This guide will explain the basics of moving from India to Germany.

Importing Household Goods to Germany

For most household relocations, you can import your goods to Germany free of custom and border taxes. To qualify for this benefit, you must provide documentation to support:

  • Official termination of your residence abroad (This proof could be in the form of a lease termination, documentation from the sale of your home, or a letter from your employer.)
  • Proof of new residence in Germany (This proof could be in the form of a lease agreement, German police registration known as Einwohnermeldeamt, or a letter from your German employer.)
  • Proof of residency outside Germany for at least 12 months (Proven by the aforementioned lease agreement or proof of homeownership.)

Not all household goods will qualify for this exemption. The goods you import must be items you have owned and used in your country of origin for at least a year prior to your move for personal use. Reach out to your local German embassy for the most current guidance.

Three Movers is a top rated international household moving company. We provide customized international moving quote, as well as all the logistics needed for a successful move. Our process is simple and effective, and we guarantee free entry into Germany for all our clients. Plus, we can take care of all your all your belongings, household effects, including Germany visa and customs paperwork. We want to make your move as easy and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on settling into your new home. Contact us today for a free consultation!

Importing a Vehicle to Germany

For the most part, vehicle imports to Germany are subject to a 10% import duty and a 19% import VAT (value-added tax or EinfuhrumsatzsteuerI). People who are moving to the country permanently are exceptions to this rule. If you can provide documentation for your permanent residence in the country, you can import your vehicle free of duty and VAT.

The requirements for this vehicle tax-exemption are the same as for your household imports. You will need to show proof that you have given up your residence in your home country, that you are moving permanently to Germany, and that you have lived outside of Germany for at least a year.

Depending on where you are moving from, you may need to have your vehicle mechanically converted to meet German vehicle standards. At a minimum, your vehicle will be subject to inspection to determine roadworthiness and adherence to safety standards regarding headlights, emissions, brakes, and tires. Contact your local German motor vehicle registration office (known locally as Kfz-Zulassungsstelle) to learn more.

In order to register your vehicle in Germany, you need to have the following documentation:

  • Valid Passport or Other ID
  • Proof of Vehicle Ownership (free of liens or encumbrances)
  • Proof of Address in Germany
  • Customs Clearance
  • Export Permit
  • Vehicle Registration from Country of Origin
  • Insurance Card
  • Proof of Roadworthiness and Emissions Testing (In this context, achieving a designation of roadworthiness may require significant mechanical modifications to your vehicle)
  • Certification that the vehicle has not been registered in Germany previously (this comes from the German Federal Motor Vehicle Registry)
