Information for TUM hosts
The Welcome Services of TUM International Center are the central advising and service point for international postdocs, visiting professors and host chairs of TUM. By offering guidance and support to your international guests or new employees before and during their stay, we relieve you as host of administrative tasks.
Our prior goal is to create optimum starting conditions for international scientists and their accompanying partners and relatives. We provide information and support for all necessary measures and convey specific topics to responsible TUM service units:
- Visa, residence permits, insurances, taxes, pension
- Cooperation with relevant authorities
- Guidance for TUM Chair employees
- Registration for assistance in finding accommodation
- Registration for support with childcare and schools
- Advice on the responsibilities of the various contact points at TUM (German courses, mentoring, sports programs, etc.)
