Home >Learn German> Learn German in Germany>Student Visa for Germany

Nationals from the European Economic Area and Switzerland, along with the countries listed below, do not require a visa for visits of up to three months. All other nationals will require a visitor visa. Apply to your local German embassy.

Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Hong-Kong (HK-SAR only), Israel, Japan, Macao (RAE only), Malaysia, Mexico, Monaco, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niue, Panama, Paraguay, Romania, San Marino, Singapore, South Korea, The Vatican, U.S.A., Uruguay, Venezuela

If you plan to study a language course for more than three months, you will need a language course visa. This cannot be changed to a student (university) visa while in Germany, so if you plan to continue into higher education from your language course, apply for a student visa, which will cover both.

Citizens of the European Union may work in Germany and student visa holders are allowed to work for a maximum of three months during vacations. Students with a language course visa are not allowed to work.
