Full health insurance coverage is a prerequisite for your enrollment as a student at THU. EU students or those with EU citizenship should bring their European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Non-EU students must enroll with a German mandatory health insurance provider for the duration of their stay; we will guide you through the process.
We recommend that all students purchase travel insurance for their trips to and from Germany.
Depending on your nationality, you may need a visa and/or a residence permit to study in Germany. A visa is a document issued by a German embassy or consulate in your home country that allows you to enter Germany or the EU. After your visa expires, you may apply for a residence permit in Germany.
If you are permitted to travel to Germany without a visa (please check with the authorities), we will guide you through the process of applying for a residence permit after your arrival if you exceed the 90-day legal stay limit. (Applies only to passport holders from the U.S., Brazil, and South Korea)
THU is not involved in the visa process and is not in a position to expedite the procedure or influence the requirements.
You should make sure to arrive on the dates specified by your program and be present on the registration days. Our arrival dates are the first business day of March, April, September, or October.
