Yes, a 30-year-old can apply for a master's and student visa in Germany - there is no official age limit for the German student visa.

However, visa officers may look more closely at your application. They often expect a clear explanation of your motivation, career goals, and how the master's fits your professional path. Strong work experience and a well-defined study plan can improve your chances.

Make sure to provide proof of finances (typically €11,904/year, subject to change) and meet language requirements. Carefully preparing your documents and rationale will help strengthen your application.
