We recommend that you take advantage of this offer before submitting your application to the immigration authority (Ausländerbehörde). Please note that the local immigration authority has transitioned to an electronic records system. All applications are now to be submitted electronically, preferably by e-mail to auslaenderamt@passau.de (please make sure you enclose all documents as a single PDF file).
The pre-checks take place on Tuesday afternoons in room ITZ 005, Innstrasse 43. To book your time slot, please visit Eva Manetzgruber's Stud.IP profile: https://studip.uni-passau.de/studip/dispatch.php/profile?username=manetz01. There you will also find details on the required documents and forms.
We strongly advise you to apply for your residence permit 8 to 12 weeks before the expiration date of your current visa/residence permit, as this is the expected processing time (not taking into account possible delays). In the event of any difficulties, please contact us as soon as possible by e-mail at istudicoach@uni-passau.de to discuss the best next steps.
