The authority for foreigners or non-residents (Ausländerbehörde/Rathaus) often requires a document in order to ensure your current status as a student (“ein aktuelles Schreiben der Universität über das voraussichtliche Studienende” or “Bescheinigung zur Vorlage bei der Ausländerbehörde/Confirmation for submission to immigration authorities”) in order to extend your study visa. You can download this document with the title “Bescheinigung zur Vorlage bei der Ausländerbehörde/Confirmation for submission to immigration authorities”  in the section “My Studies” – “My Achievements” in Campo. The confirmation refers to the “individual duration of study pursuant to certificate of enrollment”. This means that if you studied during the official “covid semesters” (SS 20, WS 20/21, SS 21 and WS 21/22), these semesters are mentioned as such in your certificate of enrollment and count as zero. You need to submit your certificate of enrollment together with the confirmation at the Immigrations Office. Hence, the officers there will deduct the covid semesters from your duration of studies. The confirmation also refers to the “approved extension in accordance with the examination regulations”. This means that all master’s students receive 1 additional semester after the regular duration of studies of 4 semesters (4+1 = 5 semesters in total are guaranteed). If you cannot access the confirmation in Campo it is due to the fact that you did not acquire enough credits in relation to your duration of studies. If this is true for you, please contact our General Study Advisory Service and ask for an individual assessment of your case. If you need more time to finish your studies then the automatically generated confirmation states, please contact our General Study Advisory Service and ask for an individual assessment of your case.
