About IraqArzt

Hi, I'm Dr. Derin. πŸ‘‹

I'm a doctor from Iraq, and like many other doctors, I started the journey to continue my medical career in Germany.

At the beginning, everything looked complicated β€” documents, certifications, authorities, FSP, KP, costs and different offices.

I paid a private company to help with my own process.

Later, after I had problems with the company, I contacted the responsible German authority directly and asked: β€œCan I continue my application myself?”

In my case, the answer was yes.

I removed the company's Vollmacht from my case and continued communicating directly with the authority.

That experience taught me something important: a company can be a helper or a bridge. But you are still the applicant.

So I created IraqArzt to help my doctor friends understand the process more easily.

I want to share what I learn: where to go, what to bring, how much I paid, what mistakes to avoid, and what you can do yourself.

I'm not here to sell you an unclear Germany package. The information on IraqArzt stays free. If you want help with the Germany-side process, you can choose our optional application service.

I'm already walking this road. I'm just making it easier for the doctor coming after me. 🀝
