VISA/ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

WHAT TYPE OF VISA DO I NEED?

The Visa and entry requirements will differ, depending which country you come from. Generally if you have successfully enrolled and met all the other prerequisites you will need (and get) a student visa and sometimes a residence permit.

You can find the addresses of the German diplomatic missions at the website of the Federal Foreign Office which also contains informations on exactly which documents you will need and the opportunity for downloading the application forms necessary. Usually you will apply for a student visa after you have been accepted by a university.
