Three German visas you may have been offered do not exist.
Not India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Nigeria or the Philippines.

Germany, departures
Checked 3 November 2026| Route | What actually stops you | Status |
|---|---|---|
| TRADES | German at B1 | Boarding |
| STUDENT | EUR 11,904 blocked | Boarding |
| SERVICE | EUR 50,700 salary | Gate open |
| RESEARCH | No salary test | Gate open |
| ANCESTRY | Free — closes 2031 | Check in |
| INVESTOR | No such route in law | Cancelled |
| RETIREMENT | No such route in law | Cancelled |
Cancelled means the route does not exist in German law — not that it is hard, or full, or closed this year. Anyone charging you to apply for one is charging you for nothing.
Which of these is you?
The route that works is often one you have not heard of, so every kind of person we cover is listed here — including the ones where the honest answer is that Germany has no such route.
Where do you want to go?
Pick a country. We only let you pick one when every figure on its pages has an official source and a date.
Largest real flow from India across all three tracks. Research in progress.
Vision 2030 construction and healthcare demand. Research in progress.
Specified Skilled Worker caps rising. Japanese language is the gate.
Express Entry trades category is real but volatile; study permits are capped and falling.
Fastest-growing English-speaking study destination for Indian students.
The grey countries cannot be chosen yet. We would rather say “not ready” than publish a page we cannot stand behind.
