Offices that handle residence permits in German cities

Prepare passport and current permit with supplement, originals and copies, current biometric photo, funding evidence, current health-insurance evidence, enrolment and the Prüfbescheinigung completed by your university examination office. Funding examples are a study undertaking with current bank statement or blocked account. Preparatory cases need the relevant course/Studienkolleg/examination evidence. Confirm current digital-photo arrangements and extra documents. Renewal fee €93; the city requests EC-card payment.

Prepare the completed registration form, landlord confirmation and residence-permit application, plus a valid national passport in original and copy and a current biometric photo; confirm the current digital-photo arrangements. Family reunification with a third-country national additionally needs the sponsor’s last three payslips in original/copy and employer certificate. Study/language-course cases need funding evidence, current health-insurance evidence and enrolment/course confirmation; funding examples are a study undertaking with a current bank statement or blocked account. Work cases list employment contract in original/copy, employer certificate and Federal Employment Agency approval copy where applicable. Confirm your individual checklist and fee; no single fee applies to every permit.

Prepare a valid passport and proof of the family relationship and of the EU/EEA citizen’s circumstances. You need a biometric photo, but there is no single document list for every family, so ask which originals, translations, legalisation and digital-photo arrangements apply to you. Check entry-visa requirements before you travel; the confirmation of your contact form is not a residence card and does not allow you to travel. Fees depend on the rules that apply to your case.
