Only students participating in the Krupp Internship and those staying an additional quarter in <strong>Berlin</strong><br />
will get a “Permit to Stay” upon arrival in <strong>Berlin</strong> and will be able to stay in the Schengen area beyond<br />
the 90 days.<br />
Who needs a visa ?<br />
Non-‐-‐-‐US citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents need visas to enter Germany. They need to apply for<br />
their visa for Germany far in advance. Please check with the BOSP Orientation Coordinator and the<br />
German consulate. Please make sure to also apply for the appropriate visa for your group’s Will Field<br />
Trip (these trips usually go to new EU member countries, and EU candidate countries – the BOSP<br />
Orientation coordinator will be able to give you details.) Please know that you will need to apply for<br />
two different visas, and that processing time will be involved – time during which you will not have<br />
your passport.<br />
I am planning to stay in <strong>Berlin</strong> for a second quarter of study, AND/ OR will participate in the<br />
Krupp Internship <strong>Program</strong> later – what do I need to do?<br />
To stay longer than 90 days for either a Krupp internship or second quarter in <strong>Berlin</strong>, you will<br />
definitely need a visa.<br />
1. If you are a U.S. citizen, you will be able to apply for a “Permit to Stay” in <strong>Berlin</strong>, soon after<br />
your arrival. <strong>Berlin</strong> Center staff will assist you in the application process on site if you<br />
intend to stay on for a subsequent quarter and/or participate in the Krupp Internship<br />
<strong>Program</strong>. The <strong>Berlin</strong> staff WILL NOT assist students who are not participating in a second<br />
quarter in <strong>Berlin</strong> or a Krupp internship apply for a “Permit to Stay.”<br />
Please note that the application for a “Permit to Stay” requires that you provide a proof of<br />
health insurance for the entire time span – from the beginning of your first quarter(s) of<br />
study in <strong>Berlin</strong> all the way through the final day of your Krupp Internship (even if you will be<br />
outside of Germany for a period in-‐-‐-‐between). For example, if you will be studying in <strong>Berlin</strong> in<br />
the Fall, but won’t start your internship until the Summer, your proof of health insurance<br />
must cover Fall Quarter and extend over the entire time span including the summer of the<br />
following year. The ID card issued by your health insurance provider will not be sufficient for<br />
the “Permit to Stay” application process. A formal letter from your health insurance<br />
provider is required. Please make sure to procure it early enough, i.e., before you leave<br />
home.<br />
2. Non-‐-‐-‐U.S. Citizens and U.S. Permanent Residents: Since you will need a visa to enter<br />
Germany in the first place, make sure that you apply for a D (National) Student visa. A D<br />
(National) Student visa will allow you to extend your stay in country to participate in a<br />
Krupp internship. If you would like to do more than one quarter of the academic program in<br />
<strong>Berlin</strong>, you would note that on your visa application. DO NOT INCLUDE THE DATES OF<br />
YOUR KRUPP INTERNSHIP IN YOUR VISA APPLICATION!<br />
Who obtains the visa?<br />
You do. BOSP will issue the letter of enrollment needed for the visa application.
