It's generally possible to change the city where you're taking your language course after your German visa is issued, but you'll need to inform the relevant Foreigners' Office (Ausländerbehörde). In large cities like Berlin, the process might take some time due to the high volume at the Foreigners' Office. The Foreigners' Office in your new city will check your registration of residence (Anmeldung) and language course enrollment. To avoid any issues, it's important to get information in advance and prepare the necessary documents.

Finding accommodation in Berlin can be challenging, especially during peak seasons. For student dorms, you can check the Studentenwerk Berlin website and apply early. For shared apartments (WG), you can use platforms like WG-Gesucht.de, Immobilienscout24, or Facebook groups. It's highly recommended to start your accommodation search months before arriving in Germany and to use reliable sources.

As a student in Germany, statutory health insurance is mandatory. Institutions like DAK and AOK are among the most well-known statutory health insurance providers. Blocked account (Sperrkonto) providers like Fintiba might sometimes recommend or even require their partner insurance companies (e.g., DAK). However, you legally have the right to choose a different insurance company (e.g., AOK). For travel health insurance, you should start it from your visa appointment date, covering your departure date, and then switch to statutory health insurance once you arrive in Germany.

There are various methods available for sending money to Germany. You can transfer money through providers like Fintiba or Expatrio, where you've opened your blocked account (Sperrkonto). These platforms often facilitate transfers using their own bank accounts (e.g., starting with IBAN BE). You can also send money via international bank transfer (SWIFT/IBAN) from your bank in Turkey (e.g., İş Bankası). Transfer fees and exchange rates can vary between banks, so it's advisable to compare different options. Once your blocked account is set up, money will be regularly transferred to your German bank account (e.g., Deutsche Bank, Commerzbank).
