You will typically receive a student visa that matches the duration of your study program. For a standard two-year Master's in Germany, your residence permit is usually valid for two years.

A three-year visa is uncommon unless your program is officially longer. If needed, your visa can be extended as long as you continue to make satisfactory academic progress.

If your program duration is different, your visa will be adjusted accordingly. For questions about your specific case, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
