Visa Formalities International students need a visa for study
Visa Formalities You must hand in the following documents: Admission International students need a visa for study purposes (Aufenthaltserlaubnis in der Form des Sichtvermerks) to enter Germany. The visa must either be issued by the German embassy or by the German consulate of your home country. This does not apply for applicants and students from EU-states and from those states with whom the Federal Republic has signed special agreements. Members of various other states may also enter Germany without a visa, if they do not plan to stay any longer than three months. After the expiry of this deadline, however, students of the above not mentioned countries do need a visa for study purposes which can only be obtained in the home country! This practically means that they would have to leave Germany once more to return to their country which may be very expensive and time-consuming. So, please do not enter Germany as a tourist! A tourist visa cannot be converted into a student visa afterwards! 1. a valid passport including a visa for study purposes (not for EU-citizens); 2. a passport photograph; 3. a written confirmation of your application by the University of Rostock; 4. a certificate of finance (scholarship certificate or bank declaration of your parents etc.) Full-time students would have to provide this prove at least for one year. Currently this should amount to about € 600,- per month; 5. a health insurance certificate which is officially accepted in Germany (Formular E111 / Chipcard). As a student at a German university you may also be insured at a German health insurance company; 6. a currently valid tenancy agreement. After your documents have been evaluated (usually four to six weeks after the application deadline has expired), you will receive a written notification about whether or not you have been admitted to the University of Rostock. Aspects of Residence and Industrial / Labour Law After you have entered Germany you must apply for a residence permit for study purposes at the foreigner’s registration office. EU-citizens and citizens from other countries who do not need any visa are also obliged to apply, if they intend to remain in Germany for more than three months. Please note that the registration of your application may take up to four weeks. You may obtain all application documents at / via the following address: Einwohneramt der Hansestadt Rostock Sachgebiet Ausländerangelegenheiten (Ausländerbehörde) Neuer Markt 3 D-18055 Rostock Phone +49 - 381 - 381 2251 Application and Admission The documents can be sent directly to the university (Address: Universität Rostock, Dezernat Akademische Angelegenheiten, Studentensekretariat, 18051 Rostock, Germany) by July 15th at the latest (for the winter semester). Application Documents Your application should include the following documents: 1. a correctly filled out application including your passport photograph and your signature, online at: ¾ www.daad.de/en/download/zulassungsantrag_eng.pdf ¾ www.daad.de/en/download/merkblatt_zulass_eng.pdf 2. If applying at two or more universities which participate in the ASSIST-procedure, you might need to attach the ASSIST Application Form. More information at: www.uni-assist.de. Working during your Study Visit According to the official law of the State of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern international students with a residence permit for study purposes are not allowed to have a job during the semester. If you hand in the appropriate application at the foreigner’s registration office, you may be allowed to work for 19 hours a week (at most). But please do not intend to finance your studies by means of a job since, after all, even eight hours of daily study would not be enough to earn a degree – you should fully concentrate on your studies (which does not exclude cultural activities, of course). Important information can also be found at (only in German): http://eu.daad.de/eu/index.html Language course The International Office of the University of Rostock offers German language courses for beginners. These courses will always start in January and July if there are enough interested students. We suggest to visit such a language course as it will ease your study and living in Germany.
