Hello, does anyone have any experience with any online FSP courses? if yes, which course and kindly let me know the details of it

I’m an Indian medical student studying medicine in Georgia and want to move directly to Germany after graduation.
The issue is that Georgia only grants the licence/state certificate for independent medical practice after completing postgraduate residency/training, and I cannot do residency in Georgia.
Some German Approbation authorities require a medical licence from the country where you studied.
Has anyone from Georgia managed to get German Approbation without obtaining a Georgian medical licence? If so, which Bundesland/authority accepted it and what documents did you submit instead?

Any non-EU doctors who successfully got their approbation in Thüringen?

Could you please share your experience with the process and what living there is like?

What are the main pros and cons you've found in this state?

Hello, I graduated from a Ukrainian university 3 years ago. Unfortunately I did not do the internship as a result of the war. I am currently in Germany. I have my B2 certificate already and I am working in a Cath lab in a German clinic.

What are my chances in Germany? I will appreciate every single answer

I’m an Indian MBBS graduate planning to apply for Approbation in Germany. I’m currently learning German and preparing for B2/C1, FSP and eventually KP.

Which Bundesland would you recommend applying to in 2026?

I’m mainly looking for advice regarding:

• Approbation processing time
• FSP & KP waiting times
• Difficulty of KP
• Berufserlaubnis
• Job opportunities for IMGs
• Overall experience with the authorities

Which state would you choose if you were starting the process today, and which states should I avoid?

Thanks!

I am trying to get my medical license (Approbation) in Germany. I need to pick a state, and I am looking at Saxony-Anhalt (Sachsen-Anhalt).
Has anyone here applied in this state? Is it fast, or does it take forever? Should I pick this state, or should not and pick somewhere else?
If you went through this in Saxony-Anhalt.

Any advice will be really appreciated. Should I apply here or pick another state? Thanks!

Hey all, how long does it take to receive the Standortvermerk from ZSVA/ZAV after applying it in their BA portal? I have chosen Lower Saxony as my preferred state.

Any info regarding this matter would be really helpful, ty.

Hi everyone!
Has anyone applied for Approbation in Niedersachsen (NiZzA) in 2026 and recently received their Defizitbescheid?

I would really appreciate it if you could share:
How long did it take to receive the Eingangsbestätigung after submitting your application?
After submitting all required documents / completing the application, how long did it take to receive the Defizitbescheid?
If NiZzA initially asked you for additional documents (e.g. B2 certificate or Standortvermerk), how long after submitting those did you receive your Defizitbescheid?
I’m particularly interested in recent 2026 timelines, as processing times may have changed.
Thank you!

As the title says, I'm asking whether it's possible to apply and wait for the FSP exam in my own home country then go to Germany once the exam is near. I've heard that a lot of länders ask for the amneldung, which means I need to be living in Germany and wait for the FSP exam there (this is financially challenging for me, specially since I can't work in the medical field without the FSP)

Hallo zusammen

, stimmt es, dass ab 1.11.2026 die direkte Kenntnisprüfung (KP) für Ärzte aus Drittstaaten möglich ist, ohne vorherige Gleichwertigkeitsprüfung? Entfällt damit auch die FSP, wenn man die erforderlichen Deutschkenntnisse anderweitig nachweist? Und bleibt die KP mündlich-praktisch, oder wird sie künftig schriftlich und mit allen medizinischen Fächern durchgeführt? Falls jemand dazu bereits Informationen von einer Ärztekammer oder Approbationsbehörde hat, wäre ich sehr dankbar!
