STUDENT VISA PROCESS FOR GERMANY

Do students need to apply for a visa if students want to study in Germany?

EU citizens and citizens from some other countries (Honduras, Island, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland and the United States) do not need a visa to enter Germany. Everybody else must apply for a visa for study purposes via the German diplomatic representation in their home country. Students must not under any circumstances travel to Germany on a tourist visa. If students have intention to study in Germany but have Tourist Visa then Tourist visa cannot be transformed into Student or Applicant visa.

Study Abroad

NIEC works with the largest network of universities in Australia, USA, UK, New Zealand among many other countries. All institutions we work with are accredited and reputed in their respective countries as providers of quality education.

In Australia, we work with mostly reputed universities and a few highly regarded colleges. Our visa success record in 2011 was 100% with not even one refusal. This is because of the stringent guidelines regarding documentation and preparation that are always adhered to at NIEC.

In January 2012, NIEC has more than 200 students in the pipeline for an education in Australia and if past results are anything to go by, all of them shall spend the latter half of this year studying at quality institutions in Australia.

In the USA, we have universities and colleges that offer SCHOLARSHIPS to Nepalese students on merit and need. Our comprehensive documentation process and interview preparation saw the highest visa success rate among Nepalese institutes and consultancies in 2011.

In the UK, a division that traditionally is NIEC’s strength, we forge ahead with more partnerships with quality universities in the ‘highly preferred’ strata and continue to offer students more and more options.

Europe and New Zealand are gaining favor among Nepalese students as study destinations. NIEC is an pioneer in European education and with our options in Germany, Finland, Norway, Cyprus and other European nations NIEC presents students with the kind of counseling edge that is impossible to locate anywhere else in Nepal. Our New Zealand division also offers in all major Kiwi cities with quality institutions and a wide range of courses.
