Munich City | EU Blue Card

As a professor you apply for a settlement permit as a highly qualified person in accordance with Section 18c AufenthG (German Residence Act).

Steps - How to get a EU Blue Card

1. After you have registered your adress at the Citizen Office in Munich, use the online form to start your application for your EU Blue Card.

Required documents:

1. 1. completed and signed application form "Antrag auf Erteilung oder Verlängerung eines Aufenthaltstitels"
   2. valid passport
   3. a recent biometric passport photograph (photo booth available at our offices)
   4. university degree or diploma (with a certified German translation and in some cases a formal acknowledgement)
   5. confirmation of employment (letter of confirmation from MDCO / copy of 1st page of the offer of appointment as scan)
   6. registration certificate from the Citizen Office
2. MDCO informs the KVR about submitted application: studentenberatung.abh@muenchen.de
3. It takes around 12- 14 weeks from the application until you receive the eAT.
4. The electronic settlement permit (eAt) is sent to you via post. You need to receive the eAt in person. 

   In verifiable emergencies (e.g. you need the eAT urgently to start your professorship), you can contact the staff of KVR at Entrance A, Door 3 in person. The KVR will then check whether an emergency exists and you will either be given an appointment by phone or a waiting number for the service point in waiting zone 31 on the 3rd floor. The staff at the service point will make a proposal to clarify your emergency.
