3.1 City council registration

== Where to go? ==
If you book the appointment online, you will usually have the choice between several citizen service offices ("Bürgerservicebüro"). Depending on where you are based in Lübeck, you can choose the office in your neighbourhood. This will probably be either 
* in the city centre ("Bürgerservicebüro Innenstadt", [https://goo.gl/maps/BtKPhdoRyF7VJGhv9 find it on Google Maps]) or 
* near the campus ("Bürgerservicebüro Hochschulstadtteil", [https://goo.gl/maps/YWaJTSNBowDsnwuM7 find it on Google Maps]).

When you are there, you have to wait until the number is called that you got when you made your appointment online.


<loop_area type="important">If you come from a non-EU country, your visa needs to be converted to a ''residence permit for study purposes'' after you arrive in Germany. In order to get the residence permit, you have to '''apply to the local immigration authorities before your visa expires'''.</loop_area>

How to do this is described [[Residence permit|on the next page]].
