FAQ

What are the conditions for a Germany visa from Morocco?

For a national visa (over 90 days) you need a clear purpose (Ausbildung, work, study), a valid passport, a contract or admission, often certified German B1, proof of funds, insurance, and an in-person filing via the consular portal then Rabat (embassy or TLScontact).

What German level is required for an Ausbildung visa?

In practice B1 (CEFR) is often required if the company has not already checked the level. Goethe or TELC are the usual certificates. A2 may suffice in some cases, but B1 strongly strengthens the file.

How much money must you prove in 2026?

For in-company Ausbildung, pay of at least €1,048 gross or €822 net per month is generally enough. For school-based training: at least €959 net per month (blocked account, scholarship or sponsorship). If pay is too low, you must top it up.

Where do you apply from Morocco?

You prepare the application online on the German consular services portal, then file in person. Depending on the category, the appointment is via TLScontact in Rabat or the German embassy waiting list in Rabat.

Can you get a Germany visa without a contract?

Without a solid purpose (Ausbildung contract, job contract or admission), a long-stay national visa is rarely granted. For many Moroccans the realistic path remains: German B1 + Ausbildung contract + training visa.

Choose Ausbildung, work or study. The visa type and document list depend on it.
