Whether you’re planning to study, work, or conduct research – sometimes the approval of a visa depends on you having certain qualifications. 📚🎓📜
If your qualifications include an academic degree from your home country, it may not automatically be recognized in Germany.
To check the comparability of your qualifications, start by visiting the website “ANABIN” of the German Conference of Ministers of Education (KMK).
Important note: Both, your degree and the issuing institution must be recognized.
You can check the recognition of your degree and institution at:
https://anabin.kmk.org/cms/public/startseite
Cann’t find your degree and/or institution on “ANABIN”? Don’t worry, this does not automatically mean your qualification won’t be recognized in Germany. The KMK offers a so-called “Statement of Comparability” in which your degree is assessed individually.
You can find the online application at:
