Dear All,

I need some advice regarding the consulate that I should be applying to.

I am a Indian citizen (from Andhra) working in Pune for the past 8 years. My company deputed me to Germany for the past 1.5 years. I have come back to India in July as my assignment has ended.

I received an offer from another company when I was in Germany and want to apply for an entry visa from here (National Visa Type D)

Could you please advise me regarding the Consulate that I should be applying to given my residence history.

Thank you in advance!

For you mumbai consulate is valid...

Dear MOON MAL, thank you very much for your advise. 
Your quick response is greatly appreciated!

I also have the below queries regarding the application form and would be very grateful if you could look at them!

1. What is the Residence Permit number? Is it the number on the top right corner of the Blue Card?
2. Regarding the intended place of stay in Germany, is it sufficient to mention the city I will be working in? Or should I mention the employer's address or hotel address?
3. There is a question, being asked, if I intend to maintain my permanent residence outside of Germany. What should be the reply for this?
4. For the intended duration of stay, can I put a tentative date for the start and leave the end date as "Indefinite"? 

These are probably minor questions, but I am asking for a smooth visa processing.
Thank you in advance for your response!

Thank you again MOON MAL for your reply and wishes!

Wish you a great day ahead
