How to organise your stay in Oldenburg

We very much welcome your decision to study at the University of Oldenburg. As soon as you receive your admission letter, you should follow these steps.

Before departing for Oldenburg

Step 1: Visa

Many international students require a visa for their stay in Oldenburg. Visas can be obtained from the German diplomatic mission in your home country. Processing applications can take up to three months. For the visa, you will need to present your admission letter from the University of Oldenburg (Zulassung), a valid passport, and proof of adequate funding (Finanzierungsnachweis). Citizens of EU countries and other countries (e.g. the USA, Australia) do not require an entry visa.

Proof of funding can be provided, for example, with a blocked account of EUR 11,904 per year (12 x EUR 992 per month), a declaration of commitment or a certificate of scholarship.

Please check if you need an entry visa to Germany or not:
