How long does the German student visa take from India?
GermanyAsked by Vikram S.8 July 2026✨ Expert answer
The German student visa typically takes 4-12 weeks from your appointment. Appointment wait times at German Embassies in India are currently 6-10 weeks. Total timeline: plan for 3-4 months minimum. Start the Sperrkonto setup at least 4-6 months before departure. Book your Embassy appointment as soon as you receive your university admission letter.
