14:39:58 Von Q : I emailed you yesterday about some problems that I had with the submission 14:41:13 Von A : Replying to "I emailed you yester..." And what is your question? 14:43:24 Von Q : Hello, I have uploaded my documents for admission to Mobility online, however, the swift message I sent for my Seezeit accommodation deposit in its reference message shows another name, XYZ due to my bank mistakenly writing my name as such, even though the account itself is my account and my name is the account holder's. I also sent an e-mail about this but couldn't get a reply. What should I do? 14:45:01 Von A : Replying to "Hello, I have upload..." Hi Q, how unfortunate. Our colleague Petra is currently working on a very high volume of emails, so if you have already sent her a message, it's not a problem. She will forward this information to Seezeit when she finds the time. 14:45:33 Von Q : My “Application documents complete and approved” box has not been ticked, even though all of my tasks are complete. Should I be concerned? 14:45:53 Von Q : Replying to "Hello, I have upload..." Ok, thank you. 14:46:39 Von A : Replying to "My “Application docu..." No ;-) 14:46:50 Von Q : Reacted to "No ;-)" with ❤️ 14:46:56 Von A : Reacted to "Ok, thank you." with 👍 14:48:23 Von Q : Hello, I submitted all the processes of the application and all of them were checked by Petra Nagel, but the 'Application documents completed and advertised' section has not been checked yet. Is there a problem? 14:50:28 Von A : Replying to "Hello, I submitted a..." No, there is no problem. Petra will be working on all the applications step by step, so don't worry! 14:50:48 Von Q : Replying to "Hello, I submitted a..." Okay, Thanks a lot! 14:51:41 Von A : Reacted to "Okay, Thanks a lot!" with 💗 14:53:11 Von Q : Just to be clear, it is okay to not upload the learning agreement yet, right? It's not due tomorrow. 14:57:59 Von A : Replying to "Just to be clear, it..." Exactly! 14:58:11 Von Q : Replying to "Just to be clear, it..." Okay, thank you! 14:59:03 Von A : Reacted to "Okay, thank you!" with 👍 15:03:25 Von C : Is deadline of visa also July 15th? 15:04:32 Von A : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." No, because the issuance of the visa is unpredictable. Jus upload the document as soon as you receive it. Fingers crossed! 15:06:11 Von Q : I have a schengen visa valid till December do I also have to take national visa then, or can I get my residence permit with my Schengen? I am from Turkey 15:06:14 Von C : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." I also wonder about ... 15:07:31 Von A : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." A deadline for what exactly? 15:08:23 Von C : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." Study Proposal, sorr... 15:08:57 Von A : Replying to "I have a schengen vi..." You should ask if you can extend your visa for the whole duration that you need to be in Konstanz. That would be the easiest way. If that doesn't work, you will have to apply for a residence permit in December. 15:09:30 Von A : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." There is also no deadline for the Study Proposal :-) I think. 15:09:55 Von C : Replying to "Is deadline of visa ..." thanx a lot🫡 15:12:12 Von A : Reacted to "thanx a lot🫡" with 💗 15:19:24 Von Q : I have a question, when will I be able to know my student residence? for the one I am doing the deposit on Seezeit 15:20:59 Von A : Replying to "I have a question, w..." This depends on when you are planning to move in. Seezeit normally issues the contract approx. 2 months before the planned move-in date. 15:21:20 Von Q : Replying to "I have a question, w..." Thank u! 15:21:31 Von A : Reacted to "Thank u!" with 👍 15:24:50 Von Q : I am admitted for 1 semester (winter) and I was thinking of extending my studies into a whole year. Can I do that before arrival so that it says 1 year for my studies on my admission letter (for the visa to cover the whole year)? Or do I have to arrive in Germany and than write a petition of some sort? 15:27:37 Von A : Replying to "I am admitted for 1 ..." The easiest and most convenient way would be to ask your home uni to nominate you for 2 semesters right away. This way you can obtain your scholarship longer and can apply for a visa for the whole period. If that doesn't work, we will still need an official extension confirmation from your home university, plus from the department here. Also, the housing extension is not guaranteed and you will need to look for housing on the private market. Aslo, you will then have to apply for the residence permit upon site. 15:28:10 Von A : Replying to "I am admitted for 1 ..."

Thank you so much 15:30:15 Von A : Reacted to "Thank you so much" with 👍 15:37:18 Von Q : Replying to "I am admitted for 1 ..." Is it still possible to do that after I've received my letter of admission? 15:38:07 Von A : Replying to "I am admitted for 1 ..." Yes, but it makes it more complicated. 15:39:49 Von Q : Replying to "I am admitted for 1 ..." I've just received it, great I guess... Thank you for the answers!! 15:40:01 Von A : Reacted to "I've just received i..." with 👍 15:40:50 Von Q : Is it possible to create a separate second bank account from the blocked account if we choose to utilize it in order to have the ability to use more than 1000 euros per month? 15:41:58 Von A : Replying to "Is it possible to cr..." You can always change the blocked amount, as long as it's more than the minimum of 934€. Does that answer the question? 15:43:16 Von Q : Replying to "Is it possible to cr..." I meant a completely separate account other than the blocked account itself which is supposed to have the minimum 934 euros per the amount of months of study 15:44:22 Von A : Replying to "Is it possible to cr..." Apart from this account, you are of course free to do whatever you please! The blocked account over 934€ is what is needed for the authorities. To access the 934€ each month, you will connect it to a regular checking account, like Monese, Revolut, Wise, etc. 15:44:55 Von Q : Replying to "Is it possible to cr..." Ok, thank you 15:46:28 Von A : Reacted to "Ok, thank you" with 👍 15:53:43 Von Q : Could we choose the place? or it will be randomly assigned? 15:55:53 Von A : Replying to "Could we choose the ..." You can indicate your preference, but then the room is being assigned. It's a kind of lottery, but taking preferences, gender equality and mixing Germans and Internationals in mind. 15:56:01 Von Q : İs PayPal valid for seezeit? 15:57:00 Von Q : Is it possible to enter the Seezeit dorm 2weeks before official move-in dates? 15:57:20 Von A : Replying to "İs PayPal valid for ..." No. 15:57:26 Von A : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." No. 15:58:30 Von Q : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." Then from when can i enter the dormitory in August? 15:58:50 Von A : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." You will only be able to enter it in September. 15:59:20 Von Q : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." Okay, thanks a lot 15:59:27 Von A : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." Until then, it's being rented to someone else. You will find all the details in your contract. 15:59:31 Von A : Reacted to "Okay, thanks a lot" with 👍 15:59:43 Von Q : Reacted to "Until then, it's bei..." with ❤️ 15:59:52 Von Q : Replying to "Is it possible to en..." Thank you! 16:01:18 Von Q : How can I get access to the power point? 16:02:05 Von A : Replying to "How can I get access..."
