Extending a residence permit to continue studies started in another EU country
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe residence permit to continue a course of study started in another EU country is a temporary residence permit. The residence permit is extended for the duration of the compulsory study period or the exchange program that is being carried out in Germany.
The same conditions apply for the extension of your residence permit as for the issue. In particular, your livelihood must be secured for the duration of your studies in Germany.
As a rule, the residence permit cannot be extended if this was already ruled out when the residence permit was issued or last extended.

During the appointment, your documents will be checked (please bring them with you to the appointment) and your fingerprints will be taken for the eAT card to be issued.
- If your application is approved, the Foreigners' Registration Office will arrange for the eAT card to be issued.
- After about six to eight weeks, you can collect your eAT card from the immigration office.
