Relocating to a different country is one of the most exciting but also one of the most stressful events in people´s lives. That´s why we are here for you and your family. It is our aim to ensure that all newcomers get off to a smooth start in Germany and at the institute.

The International Office helps to handle the burdens of bureaucracy in order to enable you to concentrate on your research career from the very beginning. We offer assistance in applying for visa, work and residence permits, general support before entering the country, finding accommodation and helping with rental arrangements. We also offer practical help such as finding the right doctor or childcare etc.

We believe that our services can save a lot of time, stress and unexpected costs by helping to manage each stage of the relocation process. It is our way of enabling you to feel happy in Bonn and make your stay really enjoyable.

We encourage you to visit our office and use our services at any time during your stay.
