Please read up on the visa entry requirements that apply to students coming to Germany from your home country in good time. The visa application process usually takes several weeks. Therefore, you should check the latest information published by the German Embassy as early as possible regarding the current entry requirements. Please apply for a “visa for study purposes” as soon as possible. After entering Germany, all students with a non-EU and non-EFTA citizenship are required to apply for a Residence Permit. The university’s Pass Service provides more information on this topic.
