Germany student visa fee
Germany's standard national visa fee for a long stay, including university study, is €75 Source 1,Source 2. Applicants under 18 pay half, or €37.50 Source 1. A foreign student receiving a scholarship from public funds can qualify for a national-visa fee waiver Source 1.
Student visa fee
The Federal Foreign Office states that a national visa for a stay longer than 90 days costs €75. Its study checklist identifies the same €75 visa payment for a degree course or preparatory study Source 1,Source 2.
Minors and waivers
The national visa fee for a minor is half the standard rate, which is €37.50. Students funded by a public scholarship can receive a waiver, along with covered spouses or partners and minor children Source 1.
Proof of funds is not a fee
A blocked account or other financial proof demonstrates living resources. It is not a payment to the German government, so it is not added to the €75 visa fee on this page Source 2.
