Community Support

The Indian Association Hannover (IASH) is dedicated to supporting the vibrant Indian diaspora in Hannover and surrounding regions. Whether you're new to the city or have been living in Germany for a while, IASH aims to provide a strong sense of community and resources to help you settle and thrive.

Newcomer Assistance

Moving to a new country can be overwhelming, and IASH understands the challenges that newcomers face. We offer personalized assistance to help individuals integrate smoothly into life in Hannover. Through our monthly meetups, newcomers can connect with experienced members of the Indian community who provide guidance on practical matters such as finding accommodation, understanding the local transport system, and navigating the German healthcare system.

Legal and Visa Guidance

Understanding the legal and visa requirements in a new country can be complex. IASH offers valuable resources and connections to assist Indian expatriates with the necessary paperwork and regulations. Whether you’re dealing with residence permits, visa extensions, or general legal advice, we can connect you with experienced professionals or community members who have navigated similar processes.

Job and Career Support

Finding suitable employment or advancing your career in Germany can be challenging without the right support. IASH is committed to helping Indian professionals and students establish their careers by offering networking opportunities, mentorship, and job search assistance. Our meetups provide an excellent platform to meet professionals from various fields who can offer insights, share job openings, and provide career advice.

Consular Contact

For consular services, IASH works closely with the Indian Consulate in Germany to help our members stay informed and access essential services. Whether you need assistance with passport renewals, emergency travel documents, or other consular needs, we can help you get in touch with the relevant authorities and guide you through the process.

Regarding Accommodation Support

The Indian Association Hannover (IASH) does not provide any direct support with finding accommodation. However, we are always happy to share general advice and tips about housing in Hannover based on our community's experience.


Our monthly meetups

The Indian Association Hannover (IASH) hosts monthly meet-ups that serve as an essential lifeline for the Indian community in Hannover. Every month, board members, student wing Coordinators, and long-time members of the diaspora come together to offer their support and guidance to newcomers and existing community members who may be facing challenges in their daily lives. These informal gatherings over a cup of coffee create a warm and welcoming environment where participants can openly discuss issues ranging from legal and visa concerns to consular contacts and job or career support. With a wealth of experience and resources available, these meet-ups help individuals navigate their way through the complexities of settling and thriving in Germany. The best part? These monthly sessions are completely free of charge, reflecting IASH's unwavering commitment to fostering community, solidarity, and mutual support.

Through these initiatives, IASH fosters a supportive environment where members of the Indian community can help one another navigate life in Germany. Join us at our monthly meetups to engage with the broader diaspora, share experiences, and find the support you need. Below is the calendar for our upcoming monthly meetups in 2025.
