Can I start my visa application process and focus on IELTS preparation after graduation?

No, you cannot start your German student visa application before graduation if your degree is not yet completed. The visa process requires an unconditional admission letter and an APS certificate, both of which need your final academic documents.

You should begin your IELTS preparation now, as you’ll need your English proficiency scores for university admission and the visa process. Once you graduate and have your admission letter and APS certificate, you can proceed with the visa application.
