Appointment-System of the German Foreign Office — Kuala Lumpur

Return Continue

If you want to stay longer than three months and/or would like to work or study in Germany (including internships), you have to apply for a National Visa. Compared to the Schengen Visa there are different requirements for these National visas. Long term visas can not be issued without the approval of the responsible Aliens’ Office in Germany (§31 AufenthVO); the visa can therefore only be issued when the Embassy has received the approval. A processing time of several months must be expected.

Important: Appointments for short stay visa booked under this category will not be entertained.

Please note: The Embassy generally issues residence titles for specific purposes in the form of a visa with a maximum validity of 90 days, allowing multiple entries. Shortly after entering Germany, the visa holder must contact the responsible Alien's Office (Ausländerbehörde) in Germany, which then issues the final residence permit.

Information for the different visa categories can be found here:
