Berlin Language/Study Residence Permit Process Updated
For individuals relocating to Berlin for language or study, this means a clearer, more integrated application process, emphasizing upfront fee payment and combined family applications. The application confirmation provides temporary legal status.
New data indicates changes to the application process for a Berlin residence permit for language and study purposes. Applicants are now required to pay a fee prior to submitting their application.
Upon submission, the application confirmation will extend the validity of an applicant’s current permit. Family members should be included within the main online application rather than through separate submissions. The local immigration office (LEA) will review the application and, if approved, schedule an in-person appointment.
