Tips
- • Steps don't have to be done in strict order — but most depend on each other.
- • Documents (Step 3) takes the longest — start early, in parallel with applications.
- • Open Sperrkonto (Step 6) only after you have the acceptance letter — embassies want fresh proof.
- • Visa appointment (Step 7) waits can be 2-3 months — book as soon as you have your acceptance letter.
