Core documents
Valid passport, admission letter (Zulassungsbescheid) from a German university, proof of blocked account (Sperrkonto) or scholarship, health insurance confirmation, and proof of language proficiency if required by your program.
Financial proof
Most students use a blocked account — verify the current required amount on the German embassy website before applying. Scholarship holders should carry official funding letters.
Before your appointment
Book a VFS/embassy slot early, prepare two sets of copies, and check the checklist for your specific consulate (Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru, Kolkata).
