Residence Permit

A residence permit is the permission from the government to reside in Germany for the duration of study.

Non-EU citizens: After arriving in Germany, you must apply at the Migration Office for a residence permit for study. You must bring the following documents to the Migration Office:

  • Valid Passport with Student Visa
     
  • Two Biometric Passport Photos
     
  • Student ID or Certificate of Enrolment from the University of Rostock
     
  • Proof of Sufficient Funds

All International Students who wish to stay longer than three months in Germany must register instead with the Resident Office/City Office in Rostock.

Visa
