When you have decided to study in Germany, one of the first steps is applying for a visa - if you are not an EU citizen. It might seem a bit daunting at first but in our new video series, Visa Video Series, we will try to give you a better understanding about how to apply for a visa, how to get your residence permit and how to renew it.
