Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Keep on rollin\u2019: University enrolment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s start with an easy one. When signing up for a course of studies at a university and being granted for it, you\u2019ll automatically get enlisted. This proof of being a student<\/strong> is needed for a lot of administrative things, some of them mentioned below: for example your collegiate health insurance, bank account, BAf\u00f6G, a student job. Just like a student card, you can use it for getting many discounts <\/strong>in cultural institutions such as museums, theatres, cinemas, shops, and even subscriptions to fitness clubs or similar. So hold on to your matriculation, it\u2019ll save you lots of money! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200d<\/p>\n\n\n Here are a few basic questions to determine which case you fall in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you want to take on a student job<\/strong> in Germany, you will need a German health insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find more information about health insurance for international students here <\/a>and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Liability insurance provides protection against claims resulting from injuries and damage to people and\/or property. You will need this insurance when moving in to THE FIZZ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Caution: Unlike the health insurance, you are not automatically covered by dependent insurance<\/strong> as a student under the age of 25. This would only be the case if you were still living with your parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Luckily, it is pretty cheap compared to its benefits. The liability insurance from our partner Getsafe<\/a> starts from 4,70 \u20ac per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200d<\/p>\n\n\n As a foreign student, it is a good idea to open a bank account at a German bank. This way, you can withdraw money free of charge from cash machines, make payments electronically, and set up \u201cstanding orders\u201d for regular payments like rent or telephone bills to ensure an automatical transferral every month. Various banks have decent offerings for students or people under 30. Especially easy to set up are online bank accounts<\/strong>, for example at Comdirect, N26, or Commerzbank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a list of German banks for international students.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Read here how to open a bank account as a student.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a foreign student not from an EU member state, you must\u00a0provide proof that you have the financial means to pay<\/a>\u00a0for your course of studies, language course, preparatory course, or job search. This requires a special type of bank account, the\u00a0German Blocked Account (Sperrkonto)<\/strong>. Unlike the regular bank account (see point 3 above), this account is\u00a0not freely accessible to the holder<\/strong>. When applying for a visa, you will have to pay around 934\u20ac for each month you\u2019re planning to stay in Germany into this account to prove sufficient financial resources. So, you must have a total of \u20ac11,208 in your bank account before applying for a German student visa. Read more here<\/a>. If you need a Schengen Visa, please read here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The cheapest and easiest way to open a blocked account provides our partner expatrio<\/a>. Check out their page to learn everything you need to know about it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Having a steady income or just making your monthly budget a little bit bigger is always a good thing. But finding that stream of money when you move to a new country or a new city is not always easy. The endless flood of online job agencies can be quite overwhelming. The more important it is to look for one that offers just the right job for you! If you move to Germany as a student or a young professional websites like YoungCapital<\/a> or StudentJob<\/a> will probably have just the right job offer for you. On their websites you can filter the offers based on your own profile. You can select your study, what languages you speak or what type of job you want. P.S. they also help you with your entire application process <\/a>and provide useful tips<\/a> on how to land your dream job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n And there you have it! This is all you need for a successful and careless start in Germany and at THE FIZZ. You are now ready to book, for example an apartment in our newest house in Hamburg!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n In the following weeks, we will take a closer look at some of the points mentioned to explain them further.
