Step-by-Step: How to Get Your German Student Visa
Once you’ve received your admission letter from GISMA, here’s how to secure your visa:
1. Confirm Your Admission
You’ll first receive your offer letter after your successful application. (We’ll help you handle this at Edge Concept International.)
2. Prepare Your Visa Documents
Here’s what you’ll need to gather for your German student visa:
- A valid international passport
- Offer letter from GISMA Business School
- Proof of funds: at least €11,208 in a blocked bank account (Sperrkonto)
- Health insurance certificate
- Academic transcripts and certificates
- Visa application form
- Proof of accommodation in Germany
- Three biometric passport photos
Don’t worry — our team will guide you through preparing and organizing each document correctly.
3. Attend Your Visa Interview
You’ll book your appointment at the German Embassy in Abuja or Lagos.
We’ll help you get ready for your interview so you feel confident answering questions about your course, finances, and study goals.
4. Get Approved and Travel
Once approved, your visa allows you to enter Germany and start your program.
After arrival, you’ll apply for your Student Residence Permit at the local immigration office (Ausländerbehörde).
Can You Bring Your Family?
Yes, you can!
If you’re studying for a Master’s or MBA, you may bring your spouse and children under a family reunification visa.
You’ll just need to show that you can financially support them and that you’ve secured suitable accommodation.
What About Work Opportunities?
Germany allows international students to work 120 full days or 240 half-days per year.
This gives you a real chance to gain experience, earn extra income, and build your network — even before graduation.
Health Insurance & Living in Germany
Every student in Germany must have valid health insurance. GISMA’s student visa team can help you choose between public or private plans, depending on what suits your situation best.
Germany’s healthcare system is one of the best in the world — you’ll be well taken care of.
