Did anyone encounter this problem with the accomodation with the visa ?
Hi everyone, I had posted a somewhat similar post like this in the germany subreddit but i didn't get any like credible answer to this so i came here to see if i could get anything and i did see somewhat similar posts but they didn't have any answers relationg to my issue and the only post i saw was everybody asking if the Immigration office requires proof of accomodation. and my situation goes like this:
I’m a student moving to Germany in late June to attend a private Studienkolleg in Düsseldorf.
I’ve been searching for an apartment for over a month, but it’s the classic "Catch-22": landlords want a SCHUFA and an in-person meeting, neither of which I can provide from abroad. Some have offered to "hold" rooms for a high fee, which feels like a scam.
My plan is to Book an Airbnb for my first 4 weeks to use for my visa application. This gives me a safe place to land while I do in-person viewings.
My questions:
- Is an Airbnb booking (receipt/confirmation)and address generally accepted by the German Immigration services for the requirement?
- The visa checklist doesn't explicitly ask for any proof of accomodation but they do ask the address for where you will be staying, can't they double check the address ?
- Does the Embassy usually ask for a "Wohnungsgeberbestätigung" (landlord confirmation) this early, or is that only for the city registration (Anmeldung) once I'm there?
