Is the visa process for Germany easier compared to Australia?

It depends.

Germany’s student visa process often involves longer appointment wait times (3 - 6 months) and extra requirements like the APS certificate. Processing after the appointment typically takes 4 - 8 weeks, and you’ll need a blocked account with at least €11,904.

Australia’s process is usually faster (about 33 days after applying) but requires higher financial proof (minimum AUD 29,710) and additional steps like health checks and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).

The easier option depends on your ability to meet these requirements and your timeline. If you need help assessing your situation, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
