Visa

Students apply for the verification of documents at the Academic Evaluation Centre (APS) in Beijing. Students for our cooperative study programme pass a simplified verification procedure and do not need to conduct an interview.

APS then issues a certificate which is required for visa application.

Please note that the APS certificate only allows you to study at BRSU. Enrolment at other German universities is only possible after graduation, e.g. for Master studies.

Chinese students mostly enter Germany on the basis of a student visa, which is granted to students by the German Embassy in Beijing. A student visa allows entry and stay for a period of three months. Incoming students have to check the website of the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs for regulations on immigration and residency for China.

• German Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Following the students arrival in Germany, the International Office of BRSU will make an appointment at the Foreigners Registration Office for the students to be granted a residence permit.

In order to apply for a residence permit, the following documents are required:

• Passport
• Photo (biometric picture)
• Evidence of health insurance (or exemption from the obligation to have a health insurance)
• Evidence of funding for the duration of your stay (e.g. a written declaration from your parents that a sum of € 650 will be made available each month)
• Other documents that will be provided to the students in Germany

Chinese students will be helped by the International Office and the study buddies to extend their visa in Germany.
