A German Student Visa, classified as a national long-stay visa (Type D), is required for students from non-EU countries, such as the UAE, who want to study in Germany. This visa is needed if you plan to attend a German university, college, or language program for more than 90 days. Once you arrive in Germany with this visa, you must get a student residence permit from the local Foreigners’ Office. With this visa and permit, you can legally live in Germany, attend classes, work part-time (within set restrictions), and later apply for jobs or a job seeker visa after you graduate.
