You are responsible for entering the country with the visa required for the purpose of your stay. Citizens of some countries can enter Germany without a visa and then have 90 days to apply for a residence permit for their research project. To find out whether this is an option for you, please check the website of the German embassy in your home country.

?

Furthermore, we would like to emphasize that we have no influence whatsoever on the granting of the visa, not even on a faster appointment allocation - as sorry as we are about that. This is solely at the discretion of the German Embassy or the German Consulate.

?

A new residence permit must be applied for at the Foreigners' Registration Office before the valid visa expires.

?

The application can be done online:
