How long does it take to issue my student visa? Can you speed up the process?
Visa applications of students need amongst other things the approval of the competent German alien´s authority. Therefore the processing time for student visas may take several weeks, in individual cases even months. Applicants for student visas are encouraged to read all the relevant information on the respective German mission´s website carefully before their appointment and hand in only complete paperwork. This is the best way to assure a speedy process.
As soon as there is a development in the processing, the applicant will be contacted.
Kindly be advised that the help desk of the German Foreign Office is not able to speed up the process or check the status of the application.
