Students Visa
Requirements For Federal Republic of Germany
1. For the students’ visa (university studies with language course) you need :
a. A confirmation letter of admission to a German language course from any German
institution (if the language course is obligatory).
b. Original letter of admission (with subject mentioned, in which the admission is given).
or any one of the following:
- a letter from the university where the admission is mentioned
- a conditional admission, e.g. with Preparatory Course (Studienkolleg)
- a confirmation of acceptance
- a so called “final confirmation” from ASSIST
- A valid passport and two (2) passport photographs.
- Two (2) application forms, original documents and two (2) sets of photocopies of all the
documents.
- Proof of sufficient funds for the first study year (at least 7,908/- Euro) on a blocked account. For details on blocked accounts, please ask any
commercial bank.
You guys can work with this bank - Eastern Bank Limited
- Please submit all your academic certificates with mark-sheets, admit cards, registration
card (S.S.C., H.S.C. and Bachelor Diploma or at least proof of one (1) study year in the
respective field). If any of the papers are missing, please collect a copy from your
respective Education Board before applying.
- If you have completed any German/English language course, please submit language
certificates.
- Certificate of proof of continued present education from the respective educational
institution. In case you are employed at this moment, please present an employment letter.
- If you are married, then submit proof of marriage (e.g. Nikah Nama).
- From the moment of entering the Federal Republic of Germany you are upon
request required to provide proof of a valid Health Insurance for 90 days. This may be done
through a regular Travel Health Insurance bought in Bangladesh. However, as soon as you
formally register and enroll with the German University/begin your studies, a regular Travel
Health Insurance loses its validity. You are then required to get a valid Health insurance
from a German Insurance provider. For any question in that regard you have to contact the
competent department of the German University and/or the competent Aliens' Office
(Ausländerbehörde).
2. For the students’ visa (direct admission without language course) you need :
- All the documents listed above except the language admission paper (1.a.)
3. Please send all the papers as Portable Document Format (PDF) to the following email for
an appointment:
student-visa@dhaka.diplo.de
N.B. If you intend to study in Germany after your language course ends, please state this fact in
your application, so that you can be issued a student visa, provided you fulfill the conditions. These visas entitle the holder to attend language courses and to study in Germany afterwards (see
above!). If you only apply for the language course visa, you will have to leave Germany at the end
of the course. It is not possible to convert this visa to any other form of residence permit in
Germany.
Please also take notice of the following important advice :
1. There is no legal right to a visa, even if all documents are complete. The ultimate decision is
taken by the Visa Section of the Embassy. You may also be asked to supply further
documentation.
2. The visa fee has to be paid when submitting the application form.
3. The application form should be submitted at least eight (8) weeks prior to departure.
4. You will have to open a blocked account with any bank in Bangladesh, and deposit the
amount of 7.908/- Euro1 (seven thousand nine hundred and eight Euro only in equivalent
Taka). The blocked account must have the following conditions:
(a) to transfer the amount to a bank account in Germany, if the student gets the visa.
(b) to be paid back to the student, if he/she shows his/her visa refusal from the Embassy.
(c) Please contact any commercial bank in Bangladesh who deals with students’ files in this
regard.
5. If you are financed by a sponsor in Germany, that person must submit a formal obligation
(Verpflichtungserklärung) according to §§ 66-68 of the German Residence Act.
6. If you receive a scholarship you must produce a letter of confirmation to this effect.
7. As a student in Germany you may work for a maximum of 120 full or 240 half days and,
depending on where you study, only during recess periods (e.g. semester holidays). This
applies to students only!
Remember : you can work when you are a student…You can not as a Language course student.
8. In general students are not entitled to a family reunion with their spouses and children.
However there are exceptional cases, e.g. if you are a scholarship holder or on a postgraduate
course. In these cases you must be able to support yourself and your family, proof of sufficient
accommodation for your family, and be registered at an Institute for Higher Education in
Germany.
9. Please DO NOT send any document (invitations etc.) to the German Embassy per fax or email,
because any document (invitations etc.) sent through fax or email cannot be accepted.
