    GERMANY STUDENT VISA
     
    Compared to other visa types, the German student visa shows some differences. The mandatory point for a German visa is the period of residence in Germany. It can be obtained as a Schengen visa for a short stay of less than 90 days or a national visa for a long-term stay of more than 90 days.
    If you are going to study in Germany, the type of visa you need to apply for is a National Visa (type D). There are types of study visas that you must specify when applying.
     
    The type of student visa depends on the type of education you want to study in Germany. The German Consulate issues student visas in three different categories:
    Study visa (Studienvisum): If you have received an acceptance letter from any university in Germany, you should apply for this type of visa.
    Language Course Visa (Sprachkursvisum): You should apply for this type of visa if you are going to participate in study programs from 3 months to 1 year or if you are going to learn German for a short period of time.
    Student Candidate Visa (Studienbewerbervisum): If you want to study in Germany but have not yet decided on a study program and therefore have not received an acceptance letter from any university, you should apply for this type of German student visa.
     
    GERMANY STUDY VISA
    A study visa, one of the types of student visa, is a type of student visa that international students who have completed their preparatory studies in Germany or who wish to study at a German university should apply. When applying for this visa, an important criterion is your admission to the institution where you will study. After getting a 3- or 6-month entry visa, you can get a 1- or 2-year residence permit when you go to Germany.
     
    GERMAN LANGUAGE COURSE VISA
    If you are going to Germany for the sole purpose of studying the language, this is the type of German student visa you should apply for. This type of visa is issued for a maximum period of 9 months. At the same time, there is no possibility of extending the term, except in exceptional cases established by law.
    You can extend your language course visa if you are accepted directly from the university in your city.
     
    Candidate Student Visa
    If you are going to study academically in Germany but have not been accepted by any university, this is the type of German student visa you should apply for. However, you must receive conditional admission to apply for this visa type. When you go to Germany with conditional admission, you must have completed the preparatory course within a maximum of 24 months. After that, you have to be admitted to the university.
