# Good to know Visa

## How do I get a visa?

To enter Germany and join our courses, you will usually need a valid visa document unless a special rule applies to your nationality.

If you have successfully applied for a course, you will receive an admission notification. With this document, you can apply for the required visa.

Please understand that the International Study Centre cannot intervene in visa procedures.
