German Visa & Work Permit (up to 20h\/week) | Leipzig<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Non-EU citizens need a visa to study German in Germany, while Schengen residents can join without one. Since March 2024, non-EU students can work up to 20 hours per week during their course. Tourist visas allow up to 90 days of study, but longer stays require a dedicated visa or permit extension. Sprachschule Aktiv Leipzig will gladly guide you through the process upon full advance course payment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sprachschule Aktiv Leipzig Helps You Get the Right Visa<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Thanks to our intensive German courses in Leipzig, you can extend your stay in Germany or use them to apply for an entry visa. Normally, there is no other possibility. Classes take place Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM or from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM (depending on room availability; preferred time slots cannot be guaranteed) and consist of a total of 20\u201324 teaching units of 45 minutes each per week.<\/p>

The price for these courses is \u20ac 499.00 per month, with a minimum booking duration of four months. If your application is successful, the German authorities will issue your entry visa or extend your residence permit for the duration of your course attendance with us at Sprachschule Aktiv Leipzig.<\/p>

Our processing fee for a visa case is \u20ac 499.00 (already included in the price), which is non-refundable even if the visa is denied.<\/p>

People from the Schengen area should not expect significant effort: you do not need a visa, only a legally valid passport or national ID card. For this group of people, registering online is completely sufficient.<\/p>

From experience, we know that visa processing usually takes no less than 3\u20134 months. Therefore, we ask that you select a course start date that is three to six months after submitting your visa application.<\/p>

If you live outside the Schengen area, obtaining a pure visitor visa for 90 days may also be possible. However, 90 days are not enough to learn multiple German levels. For this reason, we at Sprachschule Aktiv recommend a language course with a minimum duration of six months. If you want to be on the safe side or have little to no knowledge of German, we advise taking a course with a duration of nine to twelve months. In such cases, you will no longer need a standard visa, but a visa for a language course or another specific purpose.<\/p>

The probability of approval for a language course visa is higher the longer the course duration is and the more realistic your future plans in Germany appear. For the best results, as mentioned earlier, we recommend an intensive course lasting nine to twelve months. Intensive courses with 20 hours per week should be sufficient to significantly improve your German skills. If you need help applying for your visa or extending your residence, please do not hesitate to ask us\u2014we are happy to support you!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Since March 1, 2024, language course participants from non-EU countries are permitted to work up to 20 part-time hours per week alongside their language course (not during class hours, of course). Language students can apply to local companies starting from their very first day of class. You are welcome to actively talk to our office staff about available options, as we can also assist with job searches. We gladly support you in placing preliminary employment contracts with German employers through our job agency partners.<\/p>

In our classrooms, we also post information where you can find local employment agencies. When issuing your visa, please ensure that the right to work 20 hours per week is explicitly stated in the visa document.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
