As of September 1, 2011, all students must apply for an electronic residency permit (eAT), a credit-card<br />
type of id that will have your biometric data stored in its chip. Once you are in Hamburg, we will arrange<br />
a time and date for you to appear in person at the Immigration Office to submit your application in full<br />
and to have your fingerprints scanned. At the time of your appointment, non-EU members will have to<br />
pay EUR EUR 100 100 100 in cash or with an EC-card for the student visa (residency permit) or extension and EUR 10<br />
for the city registration. EU citizens will not have to appear in person nor pay for the certificate of free<br />
mobility, but will also be charged EUR 10 for the city registration.<br />
You will be able to keep your passport after your appointment; however, issuance of your eAT can take<br />
6 – 8 weeks. In the unlikely event that your entrance visa expires before your eAT is issued, you will<br />
receive a temporary certificate acknowledging your right to be in the country (“Fiktionsbescheinigung”).<br />
Detailed information on the eAT is available in English here:<br />
