What kind of visa do I need to study in Germany?

International students from outside the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) usually require a national visa (student visa) to study in Germany. It is crucial to apply for the correct category and provide all the necessary documents, including proof of financial support and a letter of admission to the university.

Can I work part-time while studying in Germany?
