VISA REQUIREMENT PROCESS

Type of Visa

International applicants have to apply for a national visa. This kind of visa can be renewed. If you apply for Schengen visa, there is no possibility to stay or to extend the visa in Germany after the stipulated 3 months or for the number days the Schengen Visa has been issued.

Is there a guarantee for visa?

YES & NO. As you are going to study in a recognized University, in general all students will get the Visa. But if you as a student do not perform well during the interview then it will be difficult to get the Visa. So getting the Visa or not more or less depends upon the student himself.

Will I get a full-time visa?

Consulates/Embassy provides visas for only 90 days, some categories upto 6 months (not for students). Upon arrival in Germany the students need to extend the visa after getting the proper student registration, hostel, city registration bank etc.
