Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Message us. We answer in French, English and German.
How much does it cost?
Every plan is different. After the first call, you receive an offer that fits your situation, with no obligation.
Do I need to speak German already?
For an Ausbildung, yes: usually B1 or B2. For some English-taught degrees, German is not required at the start. We look at this with you.
How long does it take?
Often 6 to 12 months from the first call to arrival. Embassy waiting times vary a lot by country.
Can you guarantee a visa?
No. Nobody can guarantee it; the embassy decides. We make sure your file is complete and strong.
Which countries do you accept applicants from?
From every country in Africa. The process differs by country, and we adapt it.
What is a blocked account?
A bank account in Germany where you deposit the amount required for a student visa. You then withdraw a fixed amount each month. We help you open it.
Are my documents safe?
Yes. They are stored in your password-protected personal area and only the Avenir team can see them. You can ask for them to be deleted at any time.
How does the first call work?
By phone or video call. We talk about your plans, your qualifications and your language level, then tell you which path looks realistic.
