Student Visa for Germany
All persons who wish to study at a high school, college
or university in Germany are required to obtain a
residence permit.
All visas are not the same. A “tourist visa”
cannot be converted into a “student visa”
and as a tourist, you are not eligible to study in
Germany.
The visa must be issued before you can enter the country;
you should therefore apply for it in good time. The
responsible body is the German Embassy or Consulate
General in your country, which can also provide you
with further information.
Three Types of Visa for International Students
--- A language course visa, which cannot be subsequently
converted into a student visa. It is valid only for
the duration of the course.
--- A three-month study applicant’s visa, which
is valid if you have not yet obtained university admission.
After admission, it must be converted as quickly as
possible into a resident permit for student purposes
at the office for foreigners’ affairs.
--- The visa for study purposes, valid for one year.
In order to obtain this visa, you must provide proof
of admission and financial support for the duration
of study.
Documents Required
-- A valid passport
-- Passport Size photos
-- Entitlement to university admission, as recognized
in Germany (usually a high school diploma or graduation
examination certificate)
-- Evidence of previous academic performance
-- Proof that complete financial support for one year
is guaranteed
The visa application is submitted at the German Embassy
or the German Consulate in your country of residence
– preferably as early as possible. German Embassy
or Consulate personnel can provide further information.
