Consulting and support for internationals

The International Office advises and supports international employees and guests as well as their families with regard to entry visas and residence permits for Germany and provides guidance on the associated formalities. The focus is on creating a welcoming culture and the integration of our international guests. To this objective, information is provided via the website and guidelines to facilitate the start in Germany and at the UFZ sites. Thanks to long-standing partnerships with the immigration authorities, bureaucratic processes can be accelerated and simplified.
