Studying, Language courses, School attendance
Are you a non-EU citizen who would like to study, take a language course or a course of training in Germany? In that case you usually require a visa to enter the Federal Republic of Germany.
As a rule it is important that the visit is for a specific purpose. For that reason, it is important that the educational objective is reached as soon as possible. Alongside basic conditions, such as ensuring you have enough money to live on and adequate health insurance cover, different conditions apply depending on the purpose of the visit.
Please understand that we only provide general information on the „normal case". Individual cases may differ. If you need detailed information or have further questions, please contact the employees of the aliens (registration) authority.
