Frequently asked questions

Grouped by what you're trying to do.

Study

Can you guarantee I'll get my student visa?

No consultancy can honestly guarantee a visa decision. We make sure your application is complete, accurate and submitted with the right supporting documents.

Which countries can you help me study in?

Germany is our home market, and we regularly help people study in other EU countries too. Tell us your target country on WhatsApp and we'll be upfront about what we can help with.

How much money do I need for a German student visa?

For 2026, Germany expects proof of €992 per month, usually €11,904 for the first year, most often through a blocked account (Sperrkonto). Check the current figure with your German mission before applying, as it is updated periodically.

What is Ausbildung, and do you help with it?

Ausbildung is Germany's vocational training system: paid on-the-job training combined with classroom study, usually two to three and a half years, leading to a recognised qualification. We match people to a suitable programme and employer, then guide the visa and relocation process around it.

Work

Do you help with job-seeker visas?

Yes. Germany's main route for this is now the Opportunity Card (Chancenkarte), and several other EU countries run their own job-seeker permits. We help you see whether one fits and what it requires.

What is the difference between the EU Blue Card and a skilled-worker visa?

The Blue Card is for university graduates with a job offer above a salary threshold (in Germany €50,700, or €45,934.20 for shortage occupations and recent graduates in 2026). The skilled-worker visa also covers vocational qualifications and has no fixed salary minimum for most applicants.

Can you find me a job?

If your profile fits roles our employer clients are hiring for, we can match you through our candidate directory. If you already have an offer, we help with the visa and relocation.

EU-to-EU moves

I am an EU citizen. Do I need a visa to move to another EU country?

Generally no, but there's still registration and paperwork to handle in your new country. That's exactly where we help.

How long does an EU-to-EU move take?

It varies by country and situation. We give you a realistic timeline after understanding your specific move.

For employers

Do you recruit for employers too?

Yes. Alongside helping individuals move, we help EU employers fill roles from our own candidate directory.

What does recruiting through EuropeanPath cost?

It depends on the role and the number of hires. We send a clear written quote before you commit to anything.

Trust & working with us

How do I know this is not a scam?

We never ask for payment by gift card, cryptocurrency or transfer to a personal account, and we only request documents through the conversation you have already started with us. If anything looks different from that, treat it as a red flag.

Who will I actually be talking to?

The same consultant throughout, on the same WhatsApp conversation. Not a call centre, and not a different name every time you ask something.

Do you give legal advice?

We provide relocation and application support. Where individual legal advice on residence law is needed, we work with licensed immigration lawyers.

Fees & timelines

How much do your services cost?

Fees depend on your route and are quoted in writing after the free assessment, before any work starts.

Is the first consultation really free?

Yes. The first conversation on WhatsApp is free and comes with no obligation to continue.

How long does the whole process take?

It depends on the visa type, the destination country and how quickly documents come together. We'll give you a realistic estimate once we understand your situation.
