Credit transfer lies within the discretion of the EBS partner institution. Students are advised to contact their study abroad advisor. Visa and Immigration Visa general information All exchange students are required to investigate whether they need a visa to study in Germany or not! Students are advised to contact the nearest German embassy or consulate in their home country in this matter. If a visa is required, the students should calculate 10-12 weeks’ time to apply for it. If students apply for their visa too late, EBS has NO possibility to speed up the visa process! If students do not receive their visa in time for the start of the term they will not be able to attend EBS! Type of visa Normally, the embassy will issue a “D” type student visa. This visa will be valid for 90 days only. After arrival at EBS, non-EU-nationals are required to apply for a residence permit if they want to stay more than 90 days. Residence Permit The residence permit allows students to stay for more than 90 days. EBS International Programmes Team will distribute all necessary information on this process during the induction days (participation mandatory). Students should note that to apply for a residence permit the authorities will collect their original passports for a period of ca. 3 weeks! Thus, the student cannot leave Germany for 3 weeks! Students should not schedule any international travel during this period of time! Health Insurance General information By law, all students MUST have sufficient health cover for their stay in Germany to become registered as a student at a German university and / or apply for a student visa / residence permit. EU-students EU-students are normally sufficiently covered by their national insurance plan. Please submit a copy of your European Health Insurance Card (front and back page!) valid for your entire stay at EBS. Non-EU-students Non-EU-students should be careful in selecting a health insurance EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht Gustav-Stresemann-Ring 3 65189 Wiesbaden Germany Telefon +49 611 7102 1568 Fax +49 611 7102 10 1568 [email protected] www.ebs.edu plan as it has to satisfy the very strict requirements of the university AND the immigration office (for visa/residence permit application). We strongly recommend to purchase full German student health coverage for their semester at EBS. All public German Insurance provides offer the same, comprehensive services for the same price (ca. 78 EUR per month). To apply for coverage Barmer for example offers a very convenient email application service: • Barmer: please contact Mr. Oliver Weick at Barmer Insurance: [email protected] or +49-(0)611-3571-51-6001. • Other public insurance providers in our area are for example TK (www.tk.de), AOK (www.aok.de) or DAK (www.dak.de). If you do not want to get full German health coverage, please take note of the following matters: • other plans may be cheaper but they provide less comprehensive coverage and mostly you have to pay all treatments in advance before being able to reclaim some of the costs! • after arrival you need to get your insurance plan validated with a public insurance provider: they have to confirm that your coverage equals their comprehensive plans! • the immigration office that decides over your visa and residence application is extremely STRICT which plans they accept! Most international plans are NOT sufficient for them! If a student hands in a plan not accepted by the immigration office, it will be rejected and the visa application will be halted. This may cause several weeks delay in the visa process and result in a student not being able to arrive in time for semester start. If you are staying for only one term and decide to reject full student health coverage plans, we strongly recommend one of the following plans as they are acceptable for the immigration office and validation: • Caremed: www.caremed-travelinsurance.com • Victoria: https://portal.versicherungsdienste.de/dsw-studentenkv/index.en.html Please note that travel insurances (= only emergency treatments) are IMMEDIATELY REJECTED BY THE IMMIGRATION OFFICE! Also, they only accept insurance documents issued in EITHER GERMAN OR ENGLISH!
