In the visa procedure, the interest in entering the country must be carefully weighed against the security interests of the Federal Republic of Germany. In the case of visa applications for study and research stays and comparable employment, particular care must be taken to ensure that the knowledge acquired in Germany cannot be misused for purposes that could impair or threaten the peaceful coexistence of people and/or public order, security or health in Germany. In individual cases, this can lead to a longer processing time for the visa application. It is therefore strongly recommended that you apply for a visa as early as possible.
