You must provide all standard German student visa documents, plus extra materials addressing your previous visa refusal.

Standard documents include:
- Completed visa application form
- Valid passport (at least 12 months validity, 2 blank pages)
- 2 recent passport photos
- University admission letter (with program and start date)
- Academic transcripts and certificates
- Proof of financial means (at least €11,904/year, typically via blocked account)
- Health insurance proof
- Language proficiency certificate (if required for your program)
- Curriculum Vitae (CV)
- Motivation letter (study plans and goals)

Additional required documents:
- Copy of previous visa refusal letter
- Detailed explanation letter addressing each refusal reason and how you have resolved them
- New supporting evidence countering the previous refusal grounds

All non-English/German documents need certified translations. Incomplete submissions may cause delays or rejection.

Visa refused? You can still make the next intake.
