Admission to TU Berlin
Once you have met all requirements and received your admission approval, proceed with the admission process at TU Berlin.
Obtaining a visa
Students from Kazakhstan require a visa to enter Germany. This visa must be obtained from the German embassy or consulate in the respective country. Typically, they issue a "study visa" which is only valid for three months, and before it expires, you must apply for a "residence permit for study". So it is better to get a visa for the entire stay, if possible.
Preparing for departure
Preparing for departure includes booking tickets and accommodation, medical preparation, collecting necessary documents, financial preparation, packing luggage, learning local rules and customs, and familiarizing yourself with transportation.
