Can you assist me only with the visa application process if I apply to universities myself in Germany/France?
Yes, applying to universities yourself and getting visa only support is very common. You will need your official admission letter first, either a Zulassungsbescheid in Germany or an attestation d'inscription in France, and visa processing generally takes 4 to 8 weeks, so start right after your acceptance letter arrives.
Yes, you can absolutely handle your Germany or France university applications on your own and bring in support specifically for the visa stage. This split is common because it gives you full control over your choice of program while ensuring you do not stumble on strict financial proof or paperwork rules later.
What Visa Only Support Covers
| Support Area | What It Involves |
|---|---|
| Document Checklists | Tailored lists for the German Type D/Residence Permit visa or the French VLS-TS visa |
| Financial Proof Guidance | Setting up a German Sperrkonto or calculating the required monthly funds for France |
| Portal Navigation | France-Visas, Etudes en France, or the German consulate application systems |
| Appointment Prep | Booking and preparing for biometric appointments at VFS Global or TLScontact |
| Post Arrival Steps | German Anmeldung and health insurance validation, or French ANEF validation |
Two Prerequisites You Cannot Skip
- You cannot apply for your student visa without your official admission letter, a Zulassungsbescheid in Germany or an attestation d'inscription in France
- Visa processing generally takes 4 to 8 weeks, sometimes longer during peak summer months, so start the moment your acceptance is confirmed
My Advice
Once your admission letter lands, send your acceptance details and target intake date to whoever is helping with your visa the same week, since the 4 to 8 week processing window leaves little room for delay. Keep your financial proof documents, Sperrkonto or bank statements, ready before that conversation so the visa timeline does not stall on paperwork.
