Fees for visas and temporary and permanent residence permits

If you wish to apply for either a visa or a temporary or permanent residence permit [/en/service/glossary/glossary-residence-permit],
you will generally have to pay a fee. The amount depends on the place, duration and purpose of your stay.

The fee for visa of any category is €75. As a general rule, you can pay the fee in your local currency to the German mission abroad
[/en/service/glossary/glossary-mission-abroad-german]. The maximum fee for a first application for a residence permit and EU Blue
Card [/en/service/glossary/glossary-eu-blue-card] is €100. Between €113 and €147 are charged for the granting of a settlement permit
[/en/service/glossary/glossary-settlement-permit].

However, under certain circumstances you can get a reduction or even be exempted from the fee altogether. For example, the spouses
and children of German nationals are exempt from visa fees. Also, if your stay in Germany is funded by a public scholarship, you do not
have to pay any visa fees. You can find out more about this topic from the German mission abroad in your country (see “visa fees”) or your
local foreigners authority [[Link] (fees for temporary or permanent residence permits). The Federal
Foreign Office [/en/service/glossary/glossary-federal-foreign-office] also provides a list of
visa fees [[Link]
