GERMANY ยท AUSBILDUNG VISA

Ausbildung Visa

The Ausbildung visa is for applicants planning to join Germany's dual vocational training pathway. The core is a compliant training contract, required German level, proof of funds, and full document consistency. We help you turn a training offer into an executable visa plan.

How We Support Ausbildung Visa Cases

Contract and eligibility review

We review the training provider, role details, and onboarding requirements to keep document logic complete.

Language and document preparation

We organize language proof, education records, and profile materials into a verifiable submission package.

Submission rhythm and supplement strategy

We align booking and filing steps with consular timelines and prepare likely supplement explanations in advance.

Post-entry training linkage

We remind you of key training-stage procedures after entry and later work-residence transition checkpoints.

Process

  1. Initial eligibility check: confirm training contract, language level, and baseline conditions.
  2. Checklist setup: provide a preparation plan based on your training direction.
  3. Consistency review: align contract, experience, language files, and explanations.
  4. Submission follow-up: support filing, supplementary requests, and progress feedback.
  5. Arrival linkage: remind key post-entry training and residence milestones.

Document Priorities

  • Training contract: employer training agreement and role information files.
  • Language proof: German level certificates meeting filing requirements.
  • Education and experience: education records and related practical evidence.
  • Funding and housing: evidence supporting study/living costs in Germany.
  • Core filing files: passport, form, photos, and consular-required attachments.
