FAQ
Is an admission letter always enough?
Not necessarily. Funding, insurance, education, language and study plans must also support each other.
How does a research visa differ from a study visa?
Research visas focus on the institution, project, contract or hosting relationship. Study visas focus on admission, study plans and funding.
Can I apply with limited language skills?
This depends on admission conditions, preparatory language arrangements and school requirements. Language preparation must fit the study plan.
Can I stay in Germany after graduating?
Future residence can be assessed based on graduation, job search, employment or other conditions. Graduation alone does not determine the outcome.
When should I prepare funding evidence?
It must align with the application date, entry plan and official requirements. Check your consular district's requirements early.
