Visa

International students require a visa and proof of sufficient financial means. The visa process can take several months, so we recommend that you apply for your visa in good time. You can usually make an appointment to apply for a visa before you receive your letter of admission. However, remember to bring the letter of admission with you to the appointment. Find out what documents you need for your visa application, how much financial proof you need and what financing options are available for your studies in Germany.
