Offices that handle residence permits in German cities

Prepare passport or accepted travel document and the evidence specified in the chosen application. A biometric photograph and further purpose-specific documents are required; confirm the current digital-photo arrangements before attending. The local procedure says examination can take weeks and gives a non-guaranteed eAT estimate of up to six weeks or longer. Confirm the applicable permit fee, payment method and any expiry-sensitive action directly. The authority’s postal postcode is 09106 Chemnitz.

Use the city form’s final-page checklist for your category. For a new arrival it includes passport identity/visa/entry-stamp copies, housing, course agreement or enrolment, registration confirmation and current funding evidence. For renewal, prepare next-semester enrolment if available, otherwise the current semester; from the third subject semester, a current transcript with examination-attempt counts. Also prepare DSH or assessment-exam evidence once and accepted funding evidence, including relevant employment documents with three payslips. Confirm the current funding threshold and digital-photo process; do not rely on old university fee or funding figures.
