Organization of VISA

Fill out the Application form form from the ZAV (Zentrale Auslands- und Fachvermittlung aka Federal Employment Services). More information is located in the Information for foreign students wishing to undertake a student internship. Both PDF’s can be found on the page Studenten / Praktikanten which stands for students / interns.
Google translate version of the page here.
Scan your passport (pages with personal details)
Send the documents (1. & 2.) by FedEx or any other courier service to
InterComponentWare AG
Lifesensor Producthouse / Oliver Emmler
Otto-Hahn-Str. 1a
69190 Waldorf
Germany
We will check the form and send it to the ZAV together with all the documents needed from our side.
Approval by the ZAV will take approximately two weeks until we get the documents.
Once we get the documents we inform you so that you can schedule an appointment at the embassy. We send one copy of the ZAV documents to you by FedEx, one to the office of foreign affairs in Heidelberg and one copy is for us.
With the approval from the ZAV you can apply for a visa at the embassy.
At the embassy please make sure they send the documents after approval to the Bureau of Foreign Affairs in Heidelberg and not the one for the Rhein-Neckar-Kreis.
Once the documents are approved in Heidelberg (might take 4-6 weeks) you will get your VISA from the embassy.GOOD LUCK !

Transportation

You can get from Heidelberg Main Station to the Office (Otto-Hahn-Str. ) in 19 minutes. Trains and busses are running every 20 minutes and are well synchronized. You can get more information on public transport through the webpage of the Travelinformation Deutsche Bahn.

Rooms & Living

We can assist the interns and diploma students once they found a room through the mentioned sites. But first they have to have a look and figure out what they want to rent. Google Translate might be a good source to translate the pages which are mostly in englisch.

Expenses in Heidelberg will be around € 500 (house rent = € 300, Rail pass = € 80, Food = € 60-100) when you live on budget.

Questions & More Information

If you have questions to this page and need more information don’t hesitate to contact me by mail (oliv...@icw.de) or GoogleTalk (oliv...@gmail.com).
