Procedure to apply student applicant visa to Germany-Part 1

Hello!! Here is my new post and this post i will share my experience how to apply student applicant to Germany.

 /

You would have to go to the embassy at least 2-3 times to successfully submit your application.

First visit:  You will have to open an blocked account through the embassy. Without this account you are unable to apply your student visa. The embassy don’t know how long the bank are going to approve your bank opening, you would need to email the bank yourself.

What they do are checking the documents you’ll need to apply for the account, and certified true copy. Fees of 20 Euro will be charged.

 .

Opening Blocked Account for Applying Student Visa

1. Fill in the form that can be found in this Link : Deutsche Bank
2. Bring everything required to the embassy. Including your Student Visa application form (Although you are unable to apply for visa at this stage, but they would be willing to check if you fill in the application form correctly).

What are you going to do now?

 /

♦  Send out the documents to the Bank in Germany and from there just check your email.

The bank will let you know, now the account is opened, and then you can bank in the money.

After that you will get an email with attachments stating, your account has sufficient requested amount.Now you’ll need to wait for another confirmation of your account, that you have enough fund in your account.  With the paper given by the bank, now you can apply for the visa at embassy.

What is a blocked account (Sperrkonto)?

• An account that limit your monthly withdrawable amount. For me, it’s 600 Euro
• Why? To ensure you have sufficient money to use until the end of your stay.

How much do I need to deposit in to my blocked account?

/

• For a 12 months visa you’ll need minimum 8700 Euro.
• If you are applying for a 6 months visa, then 4350 Euro. (Amount might change with the years pass by)

If you are applying for long term visa (eg: 12 months), you would not get a 12 months directly. You will get a 90 days and you’ll need to go to immigration office (Ausländerabteilung) nearby where you live to register yourself. At there, you’ll get a Residence Permit (Auftenhaltstitel).

Please be remind the information given are only guidelines from my own experiences.

Do make calls or write an email to the embassy for your own situation because it is case on case basis.

How to apply student visa to South Korea??

Recently preparing to go Korea for a long stay …joining some spring program at Korea university but is totally tough when my university management refuse to help me apply visa or they want you to liaise with the overseas university by our self.

After doing a long finding and some homework, here some info will help and guide you how to apply student visa to Korea.( Malaysia procedure) For Malaysians, documents required for student visa application are:

1. Completed application form (download at mys.mofat.go.kr)
2. One recent passport-sized photo
3. Original passport
4. Admission documents from Korean university (original and photocopy)
5. Latest graduation / school-leaving certificate (original and photocopy)
6. Proof of sponsorship OR personal bank statements for the latest 3 months, certified true by bank, with minimum balance not less than amount stated in the certificate of admission
7. Flight ticket ( i print out the E-ticket)

• Additional documents may be requested upon assessment.
• Application must be submitted over the counter between 8:30am-11:30am Monday-Friday (except public holidays).
• Processing takes at least 3 working days
• Fee is RM96 for single-entry visa less than 90 days, RM160 for single-entry visa more than 90 days, and RM256 for multiple-entry visa.

*** For the amount you need, normally your organizer would know but if your visa duration is same like me 6 months, you need minimum RM10K in your bank and you can go to the service counter of the bank ask them to print the total amount of your or your guardian/guaranto’s bank account statement, best to be verify and sign by bank officer.

*For further inquiry, please contact – 03-4251 2336. (more information please go  to Korea embassy website.)
