On 16th March, 2020 the EU announced a 30 day travel restriction for all non-essential travel. On 6th April, 2020 Germany has announced the new updated travel restrictions to Germany. However, there is not much clarity for information about students.
Can anybody provide information on what are the restrictions (if any) for people people who need to travel to Germany for their studies (starting summer 2020) on national visa (Type-D)? How will these restrictions affect people, who are about to come to Germany on student visa(s)?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Answer
At present there are to many unknowns to give a reliable answer.
Assuming that the present restrictions remain until September:
- a D-Visa will be required
- which is what a Student Visa is
- the Universities will be opened up in some form allowing new students to start
taking up residence would probably be considered a valid reason.
A quarantine period of 14 days, being introduced on the 10th of April, must be fulfilled.
