Anyone who wants to take a German course for private or professional reasons can apply for a visa on this basis, also known as a language visa. The language courses must comprise at least 15 hours per week and are limited in time.
At the DeutschAkademie, we offer you a German language course that is specially tailored to these requirements: our visa course, which takes place every month online and on site at our language school in Vienna.
