Communicate mobility for study purposes

The host university must inform the BAMF of your stay before you enter Germany. The notification may only be made by the institution. The university can submit the notification online.

Online notification:

• The online notification is made via the BAMF's specialist application MoNa (Mobility National Contact Points).
• To access MoNa, the MoNa terms of use must be signed and sent to the BAMF. The university then receives a registration code for participation in the Delegated User Administration (DeBeV) for the administration of its employees for access to MoNa and the corresponding instructions for use. After successful DeBeV registration, the MoNa specialist application can be used.
• The university notifies the entry and uploads all required documents.
• Upon receipt of the complete notification, the BAMF will check whether all requirements have been met.
• If the check is positive, the BAMF will issue a mobility certificate.
• The BAMF then informs the responsible immigration authority of the result.

• You must have a valid residence permit for study purposes issued by an EU member state.
• You must be studying at a host institution in Germany.
• You must be able to present a valid copy of your passport or a passport replacement document.

The notification from the host university in Germany must include copies of the following documents:

• Residence permit from the first EU Member State (issued for study purposes and in accordance with the REST Directive)
• Recognized, valid passport or passport substitute
• Proof of participation in a Union or multilateral program with mobility measures or the agreement between the universities
• Admission from the host university
• Proof of livelihood (including proof of health insurance)

Note:
All documents, with the exception of the passport and residence permit, must be submitted in German. The BAMF may accept easily understandable documents in a foreign language, but will decide whether the documents submitted meet the requirements.

There are no costs.
