Applicants who do not have an unconditional admission letter, such as those holding a conditional admission letter for Bachelor or Master studies or wish to pursue a preparatory or language course, or an admission test for a preparatory course/ Bachelor/ Master studies are required to check the relevant checklist on the Embassy’s website.

The Embassy is no longer directly accepting applications of those holding an unconditional admission letter for Bachelor or Master studies in Germany. Those applicants need to file their application in person at the VFS Global visa application centre in Jakarta, In return, VFS Global is not authorized to accept applications other than those holding an unconditional admission letter for Bachelor or Master studies in Germany

Please note that the further process is determined by your previous selection on the Embassy’s appointment waitlist If your selection was incorrect, or if your situation has changed, you need to cancel your registration at the earliest, and register again with the correct information.

If you are not sure of your German university admission status, please contact your university and re-confirm with them, whether or not your admission letter for Bachelor or Master studies in Germany is unconditional. Neither the Embassy nor VFS Global is in a legal position to advise you in advance.  

Studying in Germany

The certificates from secondary schools in Indonesia (SMA/MA) do not immediately allow for studies in Germany. Prior participation in a preparatory course (“Studienkolleg”) and an assessment test (“Feststellungsprüfung”) are required for admission to German universities.

If you have already started or completed a university degree in Indonesia, eased admission conditions may apply. You can check online for more information on qualifications at ANABIN, the information portal on recognition of foreign educational qualifications in Germany.

The Indonesian preparatory college (“Studienkolleg Indonesia”) in BSD-City, Tangerang  collaborates with the “Niedersächsisches Studienkolleg” at Leibniz University Hannover. Itoffers preparatory courses in the fields of technology/engineering (T-course), economics (W-course) and medicine/natural sciences (M-course). The assessment test taken there is recognized by all universities in Germany.

The German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and its branch in Indonesia offer comprehensive information about studying in Germany, including the recognition of foreign educational qualifications.

The following language institutes issue recognized German language certificates:

Goethe-Institut, Österreichisches Sprachdiplom (ÖSD), ECL (from A2 onwards), TestDaF-Institut e.V. and telc GmbH.
