R Rudi would have to charge VAT to P pan when 'selling' the phone to him and get the original ePlus MWSt back from the government using his USt account. Then P pan exports and certifies it, and RR pays him the MWSt back, then submits the paperwork to the government to get the MWSt back he charged to PPan. Not possible, unless RR was already registered as GeBr/GmBh etc.
how to deal with the issue that RR is not exporting the goods?

he can get the MWSt form filled by the vendor no problem , can i really go to the consulate and get a stamp from there?

i mean the name on the MWSt form will still be RRs name, or can they fill it out with my name?
