03Step 3 of 3
How much should we handle after you land?
Your certificate needs a foundation year before a German degree. This covers the applications to it, and nothing you do not yet need.
You want the applications and the visa file done properly, and you are happy to handle arrival yourself.
Through a partner university you get the full Pre-Arrival scope at no service cost. Only a refundable deposit.
You have the place already. This is the visa, then housing, bank, city registration and the residence permit.
