All other countries need a visa in order to visit Germany. You must apply for one in either the German embassy or consulate in your country. All citizens of the EU must apply at the foreign office (Ausländerbehörde). You must bring your identity card or passport and your proof of residence, 4 identity photographs and a certificate from the employer. The German residence permit is valid for 5 years, however in some cases the validity of the permit is in relation to the length of the contract of employment.

Types de Visa: there are different types of visa. A tourist visa for example cannot be transformed into a student visa. And as tourist it is forbidden to study in Germany. For foreign students and candidates to a study vacancy there are three types of visa:
