MBS does not assume any liability for their contents! September|2019 3 BEFORE ARRIVAL Student Visa Guidelines German immigration law requires a Student Visa (Visum für Studienzwecke) to take up any kind of studies. The exact regulations vary depending on the country issuing your passport. EU-Citizens If you are holding a passport of the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland you only require a valid ID card or comparable identification to travel to Germany. Students from these countries can register at the city's registry office as soon as they have found an apartment (see p. 12). This is where they will receive a residence permit for study purposes. Preferred Countries If you are holding a passport of a preferred country, you can enter Germany on a Tourist Visa but still have to apply for a Student Visa in Germany after arrival and obtain your residence permit for study purposes after arrival. Preferred countries are: Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, the Republic of Korea and the United States of America. It also includes the following countries, provided that the student does not intend to work in Germany before or after completing their studies: Andorra, Brazil, El Salvador, Honduras, Monaco and San Marino. All other Countries If you are holding a passport of any other country than the above mentioned, you have to apply for your Student Visa at the German Embassy in your home country. Do not enter Germany on a tourist visa, because it cannot be changed into a visa for studies. In such a case you would have to return to your home country! This Guide contains links to third party websites. MBS does not assume any liability for their contents! September|2019 4 1.1.1 Visa process for international students outside EU International students from other countries generally need to apply for a visa before arrival. Please contact the German embassy in your home country and apply for a student visa or an applicant visa. Anyone with written approval for preparatory study measures or a university place from a university can apply for a student visa. Anyone who is still waiting on the notice of admission or who has to sit an entrance examination will need to apply for an applicant visa. Once you arrive in Germany, you will need to submit your visa to the foreigners' authority at the study location in order to convert this to a residence permit for study purposes. It often takes several months for a visa to be issued. It is therefore important to apply for an applicant visa as soon as possible so that you can arrive before your course commences. You should not wait to receive confirmation of a university place, as the notice of admission arrives very late in Germany. It is preferable to apply for an applicant visa with the university's confirmation of application and then convert it to a residence permit for study purposes in Germany. 1.1.2 Documents required for a visa application The best course of action is to find information on the Federal Foreign Office's website or directly from the German embassy in your home country; but, in general, you will need the following documents: • a valid passport • the confirmation of application from the university (applicant visa) or the notice of admission from the university (student visa) • proof of adequate funds for living expenses (proof of financial resources) • health insurance coverage (please also check MBS guidelines on the download website) • Acceptance Letter of your university/ Visa Invitation Please always check on your specific visa regulations with the German Embassy in your home country! 1.1.3 Proof of financial resources for your student visa & blocked account Your proof of financial resources verifies that you can pay for your period of study. At least the living expenses for your first year in Germany

    Academic year 2011-2012 INFORMATION BOOKLET Paris London Madrid Dortmund Riga Kaliningrad Master Degree European Business School accredited by the Ministry of Education A message from the Dean and Managing Director llow me to take a few moments of your time to outline the educational goals and the mission of EBS Paris. The focus of the EBS Paris International Business and A Management program goes beyond functional business knowledge to provide graduates with contemporary management and technological knowledge together with an understanding of the interdis- ciplinary connections of history, politics, language and culture. In this way, students are equipped to face the challenges of a global, changing world. We place great importance on the development of each individual student and we cultivate in them a values-based learning environment combining project-based, interactive academic and experiential learning opportunities through professional internships and study abroad. The International Digital Campus (IDC) will be launched in September 2011 in partnership with Microsoft and this will allow the learning process to be fully interactive. The School's professors will also be tutors to improve the process of knowledge acquisition. EBS Paris is switching from a teaching school to a learning school. The new approach to education will allow the students to use pedagogical resources as where and when they want in a blended learning format. As the actor of his or her academic and professional track, the student will fit into a nomadic way of life. Furthermore, EBS Paris has the advantage of its central Paris location which, through its presence and reputation, connects students with the international academic and professional community through the EBS International Network.
