Our Process
How It Works
Get University Admission Letter
You need either a formal admission letter (Zulassungsbescheid) or a conditional admission for visa purposes. EduVed helps you complete the full application process to secure a definitive admission letter.
Open Blocked Account (Sperrkonto)
Deposit €11,208 with an approved provider (Expatrio, Fintiba, Coracle, or Deutsche Bank). This proves financial ability. Account opening takes 3–7 working days. EduVed provides step-by-step blocked account guidance.
Obtain German Health Insurance Proof
Public student health insurance (TK, AOK, Barmer) costs ~€110–120/month for students under 30. A health insurance confirmation letter is required for the visa. EduVed advises on the right provider for your situation.
Gather All Documents
Required: passport, admission letter, blocked account confirmation, health insurance proof, language certificate (TOEFL/TestDaF), motivation letter, CV, academic transcripts, and bank statements. EduVed prepares your complete Germany visa document set.
Book VFS Appointment
Book a German visa appointment at the VFS Global centre in your nearest city (Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bengaluru). Appointments fill up 4–8 weeks in advance. Book early. EduVed advises on timing and document submission.
Visa Interview & Decision
The German visa interview at VFS is typically 10–20 minutes. The consulate reviews your documents and may ask about your study plans and post-study intentions. EduVed conducts mock visa interview preparation.
