STEP 3 – Signatures on Application Document

All non-EU students receive furthermore an application for a long-term visa, which they hand in at the appropriate diplomatic representative of the Federal Republic of Germany (embassy/consulate) in their home country. With this document you can avoid further costs at the foreign registration office here in Worms.
