How to apply for a student visa for Germany
If you need a student visa for Germany, you should apply as soon as possible, and at least three months before you move to the country. To do this you’ll need to contact the local German embassy or consulate in your home country.
The documents you typically need are:
Completed application formValid passportTwo photographsLetter showing you’ve been accepted by a German universityTranscript of academic recordCertificate of German language proficiency or proof that you intend on attending a language course in Germany (if studying in German)Proof that you have sufficient funds to support yourself while living in Germany (€8,700 per year, which is rough ~US$9,390)Certificate showing you’ve purchased health insuranceDeclaration of authenticity of documents submitted
Dependent on the embassy, you may also need to show proof that you don’t have a criminal record. One of the ways in which you can prove you have sufficient funds to study in Germany is by depositing a security payment into a blocked account – this means you cannot withdraw the money until after you arrive in Germany. If you are planning to study in Germany for more than 90 days you should apply for a National Visa for the purpose of study rather than a Schengen Visa, which will only allow you to stay in Germany for three months.
Have you considered a student applicant visa?
If you have not yet been accepted to study at a German university, you may consider applying for a student applicant visa. This allows you to stay in Germany for three months in order to look for a university program on German soil. If you have not enrolled in this time, you may ask for your visa to be extended to six months, but whether or not this is granted is at the discretion of the visa authorities. After enrolment, your student applicant visa can be converted into a national visa. To apply for this type of visa, you’ll need to provide proof of your application to a German university.
