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 can find out everything you need to know, including important contact details, as well as required documents available for download. Even if you have already begun your studies here and, for instance, would like to change your course of study or need to extend your visa, the website of the Department of Public Order is your most important source of information.

Depending on what country you come from, applying for a visa can be quite time-consuming. It is 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 at the bottom of the page about visa regulations of the Federal Foreign Office.
