Germany Visa

Students who intend to study in Germany will have to apply and get a student visa. The German Embassy or Consulate General is the authority to process your student-visa procedures and students mostly will be interviewed by the visa officers to satisfy the conditions of the Germany's visa rules. To acquire any type of student visa to enter Germany, international students must have the following:

A valid passport,
To provide documental proof of financial means to cover the expenses for your entire period of study in Germany, and
To have either university admission or at least a confirmation of your status as an applicant.

In order to receive your visa for Germany in right time, international students must submit their application with all associated documents at least a couple of months before they plan the trip to Germany. Also, students must fill in the application form and bring it with the complete set of documents to the Embassy. Further, if students have any queries regarding their visa to Germany, they can contact the nearby German Embassy. After the step-by-step processing of the student-visa formalities, the international students may be issued one of the following three types of student-visa for Germany (according to the requirement of the students and the conditions and satisfaction level of the visa officers):

Student applicant visa
Student visa
Visa for participation in a language course

You should contact ECDC to find out
How to make your application, and what your document requirements will be. Generally, an international student is issued with a multiple entry visa for the duration of their study course in Germany. This allows you to travel backwards and forwards to Germany within the period for which it has been granted. Members of your immediate family (spouse and unmarried dependent children under 18 years of age) may accompany you to Germany and will be considered in the same visa class as yourself. If you wish to extend your stay in Germany for further study you will need to lodge an application for a further visa.
