Where to Apply for the Germany Special Conditions Visa

Cost of the Germany Special Conditions Visa

To process a visa application for cultural purposes, film crews, sports and religious events, you must pay the Germany special conditions visa fee, which consists of:

• For adults, this fee is 80 euros.
• For children under 12, 40 euros.
• Free for children under six.

It is worth noting that some applicants in certain categories are exempt from paying the fee or pay a reduced fee.

Obtaining Permanent Residence through the Germany Special Conditions Visa

Obtaining permanent residence through the Germany special conditions visa is unlikely, because this visa is issued for travel to a cultural or sporting event for a short period of 90 days; obtaining permanent residence this way carries a high risk and is a time-consuming process, so it is not recommended. However, for example, athletes in international and professional sport, or those recognised as eligible by a prominent institution or organisation in Germany, or who hold a recognised university degree in this field, are granted a permanent residence visa.

Because Germany places great importance on culture and sport and values raising the cultural level as well as the activity and vitality of society, the German government attracts many immigrants to the country every year. Therefore, applicants in the cultural and sporting fields can, by obtaining a Germany special conditions visa, gain a suitable foundation for growth and recognition at international level; for this reason, Iranoca Immigration Marketing Company, with specialist consultants and lawyers, supports you in obtaining the best immigration plan to Germany.
