For students in Hyderabad, studying in Germany means accessing top public universities at little to no tuition fee. The culture of innovation, safe environment, and global exposure makes it a favorite among Indian students.

APS CERTIFICATE FOR GERMAN VISA INDIA

The APS (Akademische Prüfstelle) certificate is issued after verifying your academic credentials. It is mandatory for Indian students applying to German universities. Without this certificate, the German student visa application will not be accepted. Students are advised to apply as early as possible since processing can take 3 to 5 weeks. Visit the official APS India portal to begin your application.

BLOCKED ACCOUNT GERMANY FOR INDIAN STUDENTS

Blocked accounts are a way to demonstrate that you have sufficient funds to cover your stay in Germany. Providers like Expatrio and Fintiba offer fully digital account setup options. Make sure the amount meets the German government’s requirement, which is currently set at €11,904 for one year. Funds are released in monthly installments after you arrive in Germany.

HEALTH INSURANCE FOR GERMAN VISA HYDERABAD

Health insurance is one of the most important components of your student visa application. Both public and private insurance providers are accepted.

Ensure your insurance starts from the day of your travel.

HOW APPLICATIONS ARE PROCESSED

Visa approval typically takes 6 to 12 weeks. Make sure all documents are original, and your information matches across certificates, applications, and bookings.
