Visa application

Be aware that this process takes at least several weeks, in most cases much longer (inquire at your visa authority). In a lot of countries, you even need a considerable time before you get a visa application interview. This is why we suggest that you immediately apply for such an interview after you have got the Offer of a Place in step 2) or even before. If you pay the tuition fee in step 3) immediately, you will get the admission letter quicker than the date for a visa application interview. So you should not wait for the admission letter before you apply for a visa application interview.

In the unlikely case (happened twice in 10 years) that your visa is denied, FH Wedel will reimburse you the tuition fee (minus a processing fee of 195 EUR). For this case, you must give us a written proof from the visa authority that your visa was denied.

If your visa comes late, this is no reason for reimbursement: You can tell us the new expected semester of arrival, and we will send you a new admission letter.

Note: If you do not show up at the expected intake date without informing us, we may cancel your study place without reimbursement as well.
