Can I study in Germany while on a work visa?

No, someone cannot study full-time in Germany under a work visa. If your main purpose is to study, you must apply for a student visa or student applicant visa.

Key Points:

• A work visa is for individuals whose main activity in Germany is employment, not full-time study.

• If you are in Germany on a work visa and wish to start full-time studies, you must change your visa type to a student visa.

• Some short courses or part-time education might be allowed under certain work visa conditions, but full university studies require a proper student visa.

Conclusion:

To study full-time in Germany, you need a student visa, not a work visa. Trying to study under a work visa could lead to legal issues or rejection from the university.
