I am a citizen of a non EU country with an offer for a PhD position in a research training group in the University Hospital with a scholarship for 3 years. I was told getting a student visa/work visa would be problematic, and the general consulate suggested to apply for research visa.
So I want to know if it is OK to register as PhD student in UHH with a research visa? Do you have some specific requirements for my supervisor and do I need to pay extra taxes? Looking forward and thanks.
