Passport and Visa 

You only need to upload a scanned copy of your Passport showing your Name, passport number, expiry date etc. 
Only in case you need a visa to enter Germany: you also need to upload a copy of the visa with entry stamp or residence title (eAT) and the supplementary sheet.

Proof of Enrollment at home university

Current enrolment certificate of home university, which states that you will remain enrolled at your home university during your exchange period at KIT. You can either download a template from the Mobility Online portal and upload it with the signature of your home university or you can upload any other certificate issued by your home university that explicitly states that you will remain enrolled during the entire exchange period.

Proof of payment of the semester contribution

You will receive the payment details in an info letter, along with your admission letter. As you can only pay via bank transfer, you can either transfer the money from your home country (but high bank charges might apply) or after opening a German bank account. Please make sure to keep a proof of payment for your enrollment. It is very important that the ID for transfer is used and appears on the payment proof that you need for the en-rollment! Without the transfer ID we cannot locate your payment and you might have to pay again.

Proof of Health Insurance

Health insurance is mandatory to enroll and study at a German university.

You must either obtain statutory health insurance in Germany or provide adequate private health insurance coverage from your home country.
