The Student Applicant Visa (Visum zur Studienbewerbung) is designed for students who have not yet received final admission to a German university but need to travel to Germany for admission-related processes. This visa permits students to stay in Germany while completing necessary requirements such as entrance examinations and interviews. To obtain this visa, applicants must submit two completed national visa application forms, biometric passport photographs, and proof of pursuing admission to a German educational institution, which could include acceptance letters or confirmations of submitted applications. Financial proof is critical; applicants can demonstrate this through bank statements, scholarship letters, or a blocked account. Additional required documents include a CV, educational certificates, health insurance, and a valid passport. Upon arrival, students must register their address with the local residents' office within the first week. Maintaining visa status may require ongoing proof of financial resources and health insurance.
