✨ Success story: Vladislav's journey to Germany!

Getting into Germany is not always on the first try, but the main thing is not to give up! 💪 Vladislav graduated from high school in 2024 and planned to study in Germany. We started to apply during the 11th grade, but then we didn't have enough time to pass the language exam, and we had to postpone the entry. By the way, we considered only one Stüdienkolleg, because Hamburg had won Vlad over and he didn't want to give other cities a chance.

🎯 The second attempt was successful! Right after school we applied to the Stüdienkolleg Hamburg. At first Vlad was on the waiting list and was already preparing to retake the German exam for a higher level. But before he could even write the exam, he received a long-awaited invitation.

In January, Vlad started his studies at the Stüdienkolleg. He found a room for rent and soon got a place in a dormitory just 15 minutes away from his studies. Thanks to a competent approach, it was possible to terminate the lease early and find a new tenant. The other day Vlad moved into the dormitory.

📑 We continue to accompany Vlad in applying for a residence permit, because his case is not simple: previously he had a protection status in Germany, then a temporary return to Ukraine, plus he is not yet 18 years old.

How did we help?
✅ Prepared documents for submission to the Stüdienkolleg
✅ Bringing it to enrollment
✅ Helped with dormitory and change of place of residence
✅ Support after relocation and support for residence permit processing

Vlad's story is an example that even if the first plan didn't work, there is always a solution!

💊 Insurance is going up.

As of January 1, 2025, the cost of health insurance in Germany has increased. This is due to an increase in the Zusatzbeitrag - the additional premium paid by the insured. The increase for students with public insurance means an increase in costs of 5-10 euros per month.

For students studying in Germany, health insurance is mandatory:
💊Public health insurance: For undergraduate and graduate students under 30 years of age.
💊Private health insurance: For language students, Stüdienkolleg, PhD candidates, postdocs and those who refuse public insurance.

Misinformation

Some time ago on the website of one of the universities in the section of the Stüdienkolleg we saw information that if you come on a visa for a language course, you cannot get a residence permit in Germany. "How so" - we thought and in a matter of minutes wrote an e-mail. There was still no reply😐 Expecting nothing from the situation, going to the website today, we were pleasantly surprised!

Dozens of students move with us for language courses and extend their domestic residence permit, so we have no doubts that this is possible.

The university removed these lines from the website🎉 unfortunately we don't have a screenshot of the page then, only the copied text we sent to the university.

By the way, when you choose our partner schools, you get help in applying for a national visa absolutely free!
