International Student Guide

In order to study long-term in Germany (longer than 90 days), you must apply for a student visa which lasts between 3-6 months. If you’re taking a course with a duration of less than 90 days, no visa is required. If you stay for longer than 3 months, you will also need a Residence Permit which you can get at the Alien Registration Office. Find out more about visas and immigration here.
