Student visas for Germany
Are you from Bangladesh? You might need a student visa…

Don't worry, everything is under control. We're here to make your search for the right international degree in Germany a little easier and more enjoyable.

While we’re getting everything ready for you, you can get ahead by:

• Check if you really need a student visa. Since you're from Bangladesh and planning full-time academic study in Germany, yes—you’ll definitely need a German student visa (also called a “National Visa for Study”).

• Explore the official German Embassy in Dhaka website. That’s where the most accurate, up-to-date information lives. Bookmark it, read it carefully, and refer back often.

• Mind the deadlines. The visa process can take several weeks or even months. Missing a step could delay your semester start, and nobody wants that.

• Gather your paperwork. Passport, admission letter from your university, proof of financial resources (like a blocked account), health insurance, academic transcripts, and language certificates (German or English depending on your program)—you’ll need all of it.

• Prepare your finances. You’ll need to show you can support yourself while studying in Germany, including tuition, living expenses, and maybe even your coffee budget.

• Improve your language skills. Even if your program is in English, having strong German skills can help both your visa process and daily life in Germany.

Getting your German student visa might seem like a lot, but it’s the first step toward an incredible international experience.

Good luck, and willkommen in Germany!
