Check these conditions
- The training visa requires a confirmed company-based or school-based place. A visa to search for a training place is a separate route.[1]
- German at B1 is normally required if the institution has not assessed your language or you have not completed a preparatory course. Living costs must be covered.[1]
- Check the school or employer’s admission requirements and the embassy’s current document list before paying for translations or booking travel.[2]
Documents to prepare
Starting points for preparation. The official checklist for your application may require additional documents.[2]
- Passport, CV and school certificates
- Training contract or school admission
- Required language evidence
- Funding and health insurance evidence for the visa
