Providing travel advice
I want to make sure I avoid unnecessary requests for approvals or commands. Safety is important, especially regarding travel or immigration advice. I should provide general info but include disclaimers for checking official sources. My knowledge is currently updated to October 2024.
Regarding Germany's visa categories, there are Schengen C visas for short stays and National D visas for long stays. For student visas, a necessary admission letter and a blocked account of around 11,208 EUR are required.Explaining visa requirements
For the EU Blue Card work visa in Germany, it requires a university degree and a job offer. As of 2024, the minimum salary threshold is around 45,300 EUR, but for shortage occupations, it drops to about 41,041.80 EUR. I want to keep my numbers a bit vague to avoid errors.
There’s also a family reunion visa, a job seeker visa valid for up to six months, and options for au pairs and researchers. The general steps involve selecting a visa type, preparing documents, booking an appointment, and applying.Clarifying visa options
I want to ask the user about their purpose, timeframe, budget, and German language level, all while keeping my response concise yet helpful. If they provide those basics—like purpose, city, timeline, and passport country—I can help craft a plan and offer a minimal checklist.
I can also assist with writing emails to supervisors or admissions or even help with a CV in German, if necessary. I'll create a structured response in Chinese to cover various visa pathways, avoiding heavy numbers. I'll also mention appointments via VFS Global in China.
