There’s some nuance to changing universities after getting a visa for Germany. Here’s the breakdown:
- Technically possible: In most cases, yes, you can change universities after you receive your visa and arrive in Germany. Your visa isn’t tied to a specific university.
- Inform the authorities: However, it’s important to inform the foreigners’ office (Ausländerbehörde) in your city about the change. They might need to update your residence permit accordingly.
- New university acceptance: Of course, you’ll need to be accepted by the new university you want to transfer to.
For the most up-to-date information and specific procedures, it’s best to consult with the foreigners’ office (Ausländerbehörde) in your city and the new university you’re interested in attending.
