Documents checklist

What to carry in your hand luggage.

Keep these documents in your hand luggage, not in your suitcase:

• Passport with visa
• Admission letter or work contract
• Blocked account confirmation
• Proof of health insurance (incoming insurance)
• Rental contract or address of your first accommodation
• Original degree certificates and mark sheets
• Biometric photos (you will need them again)
• Some cash in euros for the first days

Also save digital copies of everything in a safe place.
