Document checklist for Vietnamese applicants

Prepare a university admission letter, proof of financial resources (blocked account), travel health insurance, and certified academic transcripts. Financial evidence should cover one-year living costs.

Remember to get your documents translated by a certified translator. Consistency across all your documents is critical.

Crafting a persuasive Letter of Motivation

Explain your academic background, program choice, and career plan upon returning to Vietnam. Show strong ties—family business, property, or job offers.

Avoid copy-paste templates. Visa officers can detect repeated phrasing across submissions; personalise each paragraph with specific details.

Highlights

  • Address any previous visa rejections honestly with new evidence.
  • Mention German regulations you understand—like work hour limits.
  • Show how the chosen program advances Vietnam-focused career plans.

Timeline and interview preparation

Allow 8–12 weeks from submission to decision. Use that time to rehearse possible interviews covering finances, course knowledge, and ties to Vietnam.

Our advisors conduct bilingual mock interviews and supply embassy updates so you feel confident explaining your study plan in both English and Vietnamese.
