Please bring the following documents to the appointment:
The application fee has to payed directly at the appointment.
Please see our FAQ for more information about residence permits.
Important advice: Your residence permit for the purpose of studying will automatically become invalid two weeks after you have completed your studies, even if it expires only at a later date. You then have to apply for a new residence permit. If you have any questions about residence permits, do not hesitate to contact us!
