Do not forget to bring your passport. Please make sure that your passport is valid until at least June 2008 for the Fall Semester 2007 exchange or until December 2008 for the Spring Semester 2008 exchange. If your passport is new, make sure you have signed it. Some of this may sound obvious, but it is important, so do not leave it until the last minute.
Although, in principle, EU citizens should be able to travel without a passport within the Schengen agreement only using their national id, new EU regulations came into force in mid-October 2005. According to these regulations flight passengers going from one country to another are required to show their passport at various check-points before entering the aircraft. The Schengen countries are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain and Sweden. All these countries except Norway and Iceland are European Union members.
Students with dual citizenship are strongly advised to bring both valid passports.
