To come to Germany, citizens of many countries in the world need to apply for a German visa. To apply for a visa, you should give the German embassy a reason for coming to Germany.

If you have the slightest doubt about a certain point or do not understand any information, ask at any time in the main group of our community “Facharzt JETZT” on Facebook and Telegram (groups will appear as a folder). We remind you that this article is a guidance article to help you understand things and you should not rely solely on it. You should always return to the official websites. 😊

• The possible reasons could be the following:

• Language course

You registered in a language course, most preferably to study further the German medical language (🇩🇪 die Fachsprache). The longer the course, the better (our recommendation: at least three months). Your application for the medical license should be included for your visa request.

In many countries around the world (like Jordan), the German embassies require proof of your seriousness to work in Germany, and that is that you learn at least German to a B1 level. Therefore, you cannot apply for a German visa if you do not have at least a German B1 certificate.

• The medical language exam (die Fachsprachenprüfung)

If you got a reply from the approbation authority, you could book an appointment for the medical language exam (🇩🇪 die Fachsprachenprüfung) or for the medical knowledge exam (🇩🇪 die Kenntnisprüfung), then this will help you to get the visa.
