Häufige Fragen

What clients want to know

Do Russian citizens need a visa for Germany?

Yes. Russian citizens are generally subject to the visa requirement. Which visa and which procedure are suitable depends on the intended purpose of stay and your personal situation.

Can I change my purpose of stay while in Germany?

A change may be possible, but it is not permitted under every existing status or for every new purpose of stay. Decisive factors include the current title, the manner of entry, the intended activity or family basis, and the timing of the application.

Are Russian documents recognised by German authorities?

Russian certificates can generally be used as evidence. Whether a translation, certification, apostille or additional verification is required depends on the type of document, its intended use and the requirements of the competent German authority.
