There is an agreement between your home country and Germany that makes it easier for you to enter the country: When you arrive in Germany, you will receive a Schengen visa and can stay in Germany for up to 90 days. However, it is not possible to convert this Schengen visa into a long-term visa in Germany! If you are planning a long-term stay in Germany, you have to apply for a visa in your home country at the German embassy, e.g. for the language course visa or the study preparation visa. The processing of your visa application takes some time, so please plan accordingly.
We know that a visa application can be complicated and time-consuming. Therefore, we are happy to support you! The success of our visa experts speaks for itself: We have already helped thousands of participants worldwide to submit their visa application! Here are the next steps for you:

If you want to come to Germany for 3-months or less, than you can simply travel here and receive a 90 day Schengen Visa on arrival. While you are here, you are free to study German as much you would like. Please be aware that you are not allowed to upgrade from the tourist visa to any other type of visa. (To direclty book you language course for your Schengen visa simply simply click here.)
If you intend to come for longer than 3-months, you will need to apply for a long-term visa at the German consulate in your home-country*. Processing your application usually takes three months so make sure to plan accordingly.

* Please note: In our experience, German embassies usually prefer that you already have some German language knowledge before applying for a visa. We highly recommend learning German at least to level A1, A2, or B1 before you apply for a long-term visa. You can easily learn German in your home country with our online courses.
