After paying the university fees and living expenses, can I apply for my visa?

Yes, once you have paid your university fees (if required) and arranged proof of living expenses - typically by depositing around €11,904 into a blocked account - you can apply for your German student visa.

These payments and financial proofs are mandatory to show you can support yourself during your studies. Make sure you also have your admission letter and proof of tuition payment ready before starting your visa application.
