Visa
Please check if you require a visa to enter Germany for study purposes. EU and EFTA citizens do not need a visa. Citizens of other countries must contact the German embassy or consulate in their country of residence to check visa regulations prior to their travel to Germany. Please consult the website of the Federal Foreign Office of Germany (Auswärtiges Amt) to find out the requirements for your visa application. Do not enter Germany with a tourist visa. Note that processing the visa application will take up to several months.
