Procedure
The process steps
One of the most important questions is how the procedure for applying for a visa and a residence permit for Germany works.
We have put together for you here what exactly you need to consider.
For each application, it must first be clarified for what purpose you want to enter Germany. The most common purposes of residence are work, study or family reunification. Depending on the purpose for which you want to enter the country, it will then be checked which requirements must be met. In addition, the purpose of the stay is also important for the duration of the stay and for the possibility of extending or changing the residence permit. If the purpose of your stay changes, you may have to apply for a new residence permit.
Application Procedure
As a rule, the application process begins in your home country. You can then enter Germany with a national visa and apply for a residence permit at the immigration office that is responsible for you locally.
Livelihood
For most residence permits, you have to prove that you can finance yourself.
Necessary documents
To apply for a national visa and a residence permit, you must submit various documents about the purpose of your trip, about you and your financial means.
