Frequently Asked Questions

Which German course do I need for a student or language visa? +

For a German language visa (Sprachkursvisum) or a student-applicant visa, the embassy generally requires an intensive course of at least 18 lesson hours per week. The courses on this page are intensive programmes that typically meet that threshold — always confirm the exact hours with the school and your local German mission before applying.

How many hours per week does a visa-qualifying course need? +

The common minimum is 18 contact hours per week, and many schools run 20–25 hours for visa students. The course must be a continuous, full-time programme — not an evening or part-time course. Each listing on LingoMap shows the weekly hours so you can check.

Can I get a visa for an online German course? +

Usually no. A language or student visa almost always requires an in-person, full-time course in Germany, because the visa is tied to your physical stay. Use these intensive in-person courses for a visa; online courses are better suited to learners already in Germany or studying remotely.

Will the school provide a visa confirmation letter? +

Most schools offering intensive courses issue an enrolment confirmation (Anmeldebestätigung) and a paid-fee receipt for your visa file. Contact the school directly through its LingoMap listing to ask about visa documents and payment terms before you book.
