I have been blacklisted by banks (due to tax debts etc.). Am I eligible for a visa?
If you have been blacklisted by banks in your country, you will not be able to obtain a visa. Your country may refuse to allow you to leave. Even if your country allows you to leave, Germany will probably reject your visa application.
I am involved in an ongoing legal case. Will this affect my visa application?
You should first consult with your attorney regarding your ongoing legal case. Based on factors such as the nature and status of the case, you can proceed with the process according to your attorney's instructions.
I have experienced a negative/unfavorable event in Germany. Where should I turn?
If you encounter a bad situation in Germany, the first place you should contact is the nearest consulate in your country. In case of health problems, do not hesitate to seek help from your family doctor or a hospital, and in serious situations you can get assistance from the nearest police station.
Will my previous stay in Germany or abroad affect my application?
Your previous travels could affect your application. If you have recently traveled to China, this could negatively affect your visa status. Apart from this, no other problems should arise.
I am a Master's student. Can I get a visa during this time?
Since you have a diploma, you can apply for a visa during your Master's degree course. If you meet the required conditions, you are eligible for a visa. If your application is rejected, you will receive an explanation as soon as possible as to why this is the case.

What level should my foreign language be?
German and good English skills are definitely required for day-to-day work.

You may be expected to have an advanced level of German or an intermediate level of English.
