Visa and entrance regulations
The first step, when planning your stay, will be to apply for a visa. You will need it (please read underneath to see if this applies in your case) in order to enter Germany and do your doctorate. It is advisable to contact the Foreigners Registration Authority in Munich (Ausländerbehörde) directly for information regarding your individual case. Details regarding the entrance regulations are given by the Federal Foreign Office (Auswärtiges Amt der Bundesrepublik Deutschland) or by enquiring at the German Embassy or Consulate in your home country. For addresses and details, please look here.
- Doctoral candidates from member states of the European Union (EU), the European Free Trade Association (EFTA - Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Switzerland), from Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, Canada, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America and their families can travel to Germany without a visa (family members who have a different nationality need a visa)
- Guidelines for all other countries: It is important that you apply for a visa from the German Embassy or Consulate in your country well in advance (at least 2 to 3 months prior to departure). For this purpose, you will need the letter of supervision from your future Professor, giving details regarding your doctoral purpose and your stay (e.g. research field, anticipated length, financial sources, health insurance, language knowledge requirements).
Please ask the staff of the German Embassy in your country to inform you precisely which documents you need and be sure to give the exact purpose (doctorate) of your visit and your subsequent plans (work), to make sure that your visa satisfies your requirements and intentions.
