The University of Konstanz is a family-friendly university and is happy to assist you with having your family join you in Konstanz. Depending on your country of citizenship, your family will also need a visa and residence permit to stay in Konstanz. Please let us know as soon as possible if your family will be coming to Konstanz, so we can help you prepare and address the required formalities. Please note that it can take 8-12 weeks or even longer to get a visa.
First, find out if your family will need to apply for a visa. Check the website of your German diplomatic mission for information on the exact visa requirements and visa regulations. In case your family does need a visa or a residence permit, please note that the Konstanz immigration office only accepts certificates of marriage or birth certificates (in German or an English translation) with Apostille (according to the Hague Conference) or a legalization of a German diplomatic mission.
The Welcome Centre will advise and assist you with having your family join you in Konstanz.
