How a Germany-Specialized Consultancy Can Boost Your Visa Success
Germany has seen an increase in it’s appeal as a study abroad destination for Nepalese students which we attribute to it’s world class education, low tuition fees and great career prospects. But what we are seeing also is that the application process to German universities and getting a student visa is a complex affair which in many cases is new territory for first time applicants. From the APS review to choosing the right university, to sorting out the documentation and preparing for the visa interview at each of these stages students may run into issues. This is the gap that a Germany specialized consultancy like NIEC (Nepal International Education Consultancy) Pvt Ltd steps in to fill.
In this blog we will look at how specialist consultancies which support Nepali students to improve their visa success and go through the application process smoothly.
1. Through our Expert APS Support.
APS which is short for Akademische Prüfstelle is a required step for Nepali students applying to German universities. They must present notarized transcripts, certificates, and gap reports at this stage. Many students we see do this poorly out of a lack of info which in turn causes delays or even rejections.
