The dream of studying in Germany is closer than you think! With Be Easy at your side, the process of obtaining a German visa becomes an exciting and accessible journey. Let's explore together the steps to make your international experience an incredible reality. Get ready to discover how simple red tape can be and how you can be closer than ever to living this unique adventure!

Easy entry for Brazilians

Good news for you, future Brazilian student in Germany! The process of entering the country is simpler than many imagine. As a Brazilian citizen, you have the privilege of entering Germany with a tourist visa. This means that you don't have to worry about obtaining a specific visa before leaving Brazil.

But the advantage doesn't stop there! You can start your classes while adjusting your local resident status. This offers incredible flexibility, allowing you to immerse yourself in German culture and begin your academic journey without unnecessary delays.

Important steps for your visa

Before fully engaging in your studies, there are a few crucial steps to take. Let's break this process down for you:

  • Anmeldung (Residence Registration): This is your official proof of residence in Germany. You must do it at the local town hall, with an administrative fee of just €20.00.
  • Photo 35x45 mm: Required for official documents. Be Easy can help you find the nearest location to take the photo.
  • Blocked Account: This is your financial proof for the first year of studies. It's the most accepted option in all of Germany, although there are alternatives depending on the local Immigration Office.
  • Interview at the Immigration Office: Performed at the office closest to your accommodation or campus. Fees vary by location.

If you're thinking about Study and Work in Germany, it is important to understand that initially you will not be able to work until you change your status from a tourist to a student with permission. However, once you obtain your student visa, you will have the opportunity to work up to 20 hours a week, providing a perfect balance between studies and professional experience.

Crucial information for your success

There are a few important points to keep in mind during your journey in Germany:

  1. Deadline for changing status: You have 90 days to make the transition from tourist to student. It's crucial not to leave that to the last minute.
  2. Access to the blocked account: It will only be possible after the change of status. It is advisable to bring an extra one to cover the first few months.
  3. Visa renewal: The visa needs to be renewed annually. Be Easy will be here to remind you and assist you in this process.
  4. Postgraduate opportunities: After completing your studies, you can stay in Germany for an additional 18 months, opening doors to start your international career.
