Students and University Applicants from Other Countries

We recommend anyone who has decided to study in Munich or wants to prepare for it to visit the website of the state capital of Munich’s Department of Public Order. On their website, you'll find everything you need to know, including important contact details, as well as required documents available for download. Even if your studies have already begun and, for instance, you'd like to change your course of study or need to extend your visa, the website of the Department of Public Order is the most important source of information.

Depending on what country you're from, applying for a visa can be quite time-consuming. It's important to obtain a student visa issued by the German embassy or consulate in your own country. The addresses of all German missions abroad with which you can apply for a visa, as well as the necessary forms to download, can be found on the website of the Federal Foreign Office.
