just wanted to ask that I am coming to Germany for completing my masters, which is exactly of one year. So, Should I click part 3 of Que.9 (i.e. I intend to stay no longer than…) or not?
and if after getting 3-month study visa, I have to apply for residence permit, then usually, for how much time, the residence permit will be issued in my case?
Please help me out of this. And revert as soon as possible. Thank You
