General Information 56 The rent for the room must always be transferred regularly from the student’s current account to the Studentenwerk. To open an account, the passport, resident’s registration certificate and student registration certificate are needed. The rent contract for the room will be signed immediately before moving in and can be terminated only after three months of having moved in. Rooms can be rented only for entire months: that means even when moving in or out in the middle of the month, the whole month’s rent must be paid. The Studentenwerk expects a security deposit of one month’s rent plus an administration fee which is reimbursed upon departure. Note: Students can only move into their rooms on week days: Mo to Thu 9 am–3 pm and Fri 9 am–2 pm Moving in during weekends is not possible.

Registration with the Residents’ Registration Office In the Federal Republic of Germany there is compulsory registration, i.e. each student must register with the appropriate local police station/residents’ registration office within the first week of arrival. The student residence administration is always able to inform students where the appropriate registration office is. In order to register, it is necessary to obtain a Meldeschein (registration form), which can be purchased in any stationery shop. In addition to the registration form, a passport or identity card must be presented. The Meldebestätigung (proof of legal residence), which is issued by the authorities, is necessary for opening a bank account, for going to the Foreigners’ Registration Office and for using a public library. EU-citizens also must obtain a certification about the „Gemeinschaftsrechtliches Aufenthaltsrecht gem. § 5 Freizügigkeitsgesetz / EU“ from the Residents’ Registration Office, which is proof of their right to stay.
If you leave Berlin or move, you must deregister or reregister respectively. These forms are also available in any stationery shop. Registration with the Foreigners’ Registration Office Students from the EU, EFTA countries as well as the USA can enter the Federal Republic of Germany without a visa and may, without prior work permit, begin a work placement. There is no need for these students to register at the Foreigner’s Registration Office. Students from all other countries require a visa and, for the work placement, a special work permit. The application for the entry visa must be made at a diplomatic mission in the home country. Please note that the processing of this application can often take several months, especially when a work permit is necessary. If the foreign student wishes to stay in Germany for a period of more than three months, the student must apply for a residence permit for study purposes in good time. This application must be made within the first three months after arrival in Germany. The office is located at the following address: Landeseinwohneramt, Abteilung Ausländerangelegenheiten, Abt.
