Immigration Requirements

International students have to apply for a visa immediately after receiving the admission letter for a student visa at their nearest German Embassy in their home country.

According to the German Immigration Law, it is not possible to change immigration status when you are already in Germany; never enter with a tourist visa!

You will be required to present the following at the Embassy:

1. Our letter of admission (Zulassung)
2. Our documentation of the course
3. Proof of your financial means of at least 600 EUR/month. Please check with the nearest Germany Embassy or Consulate. Be prepared to show a bank statement covering the full expenses for the first year!

Health Insurance

• All students at Institutions of Higher Education in Germany have to provide proof of obligatory health insurance at the time of registration.
• The University can help you in getting short term health insurance for the first month, including travel to Germany (sometimes required for visa).
• Information about compulsory health insurance

Registration

After your arrival at Ulm University you will need to enroll officially.
