Payment:
Once the selection process is over, we will send an official “Letter of Invitation” to all applicants that were chosen to participate in one of our programs. You will either find the bank details for payment on that letter or we will forward you a seperate invoice with all the relevant information. If your home institution bears the costs for your participation, we will direct the invoice there. Please note that the common means of payment is bank transfer!
Visa:
Please inquire early, at least 8 weeks prior to your trip, at a German consulate or embassy in your home country about visa requirements. Students from the United States, Mexico, Singapore, and Australia and from a number of other countries may enter Germany with a passport only and remain for up to three months without a visa. If your home country does not have such an agreement with Germany, you must procure a visa which covers the period of the International Summer School. You need to apply for such a visa at your local German embassy or consulate and in summertime; many embassies are heavily loaded, so it may take weeks to get an appointment for your interview already! Please note that you will have to provide different documents on your pre-scheduled appointment, so we recommend you to prepare them attentively! It is also recommended that you bring along a document (i.e. from your parents or funding agency) that certifies that you can cover the costs e.g. of your living expenses for the time of your stay. Also, it will take some more time after your official application to finally obtain your visa, so please make sure to start the process as early as possible! If you plan to travel before/during/after the International Summer School to other countries, please make sure you apply for a multiple entry visa for Germany.
Insurance:
You must have health insurance to take part in any of our Summer School programs. We recommend a private liability insurance and an accident insurance as well. The course fee of 1.490,- EUR includes insurance coverage already, and so do DAAD scholarships. If you need to arrange for insurance yourself, please ask your insurance agency at home if you are also covered in Germany. If not, you may get in contact with any of the insurance agencies listed below. They all offer different insurance packages, by the month or exact to the day, for reasonable prices. You may, of course, choose any other insurance agency, also.
