Checklist

Packing list

This short checklist may help you pack for your new adventure.

Take this with you:

• Passport (make sure it is valid) and in some cases your birth certificate
• If necessary: your entry visa (you need to pick this up at the embassy or consultate before travelling)
• Diplomas of certificates you already possess (make a copy and leave the originals at home)
• Official letter from your host institution (stating that you have been accepted)
• Insurance papers – healthcare, liability etc.
• Driver’s license – make sure that it’s valid for the duration of your stay abroad
• Housing contract (if you have already arranged for a place to stay)
• Money (preferably euro’s, enough to help you through the first days) and/or a credit card
• Tools like phone, laptop, camera + chargers!
• Summer and winter clothes
• Medicine: make sure to bring your medication with you if you cannot go without them. But be aware that not all medicines or medical herbs are allowed
• Important phone numbers: emergency numbers, contact person from your education institution
