Exchange students who are not citizens of a European Union member state require a visa in order to study in Germany. After receipt of your Application for Registration as an Exchange Student, we will send you an official letter of invitation which will enable you to apply for the appropriate visa at the German Embassy in your home country. Please note that visa processing takes at least four weeks. After arriving in Fulda, you must register with the Alien Office of the City of Fulda. A tutor from the International Office will accompany you.
Medical Insurance
All students in Germany must have health insurance coverage in Germany. Your home country health insurance coverage may be valid in Germany. This must be documented by a special form from your home country health insurance scheme (European Health Insurance Card or equivalent certificate) which you must bring with you to Fulda. If you do not have this documentation, you must take out German compulsory medical insurance for the duration of your studies at Fulda University of Applied Sciences. The monthly insurance premium is EUR 65.
