No, if you hold a German "Visum" valid for "Schengener Staaten" which is type C visa and is still valid you may also visit Switzerland on that visa. Switzerland has joined the Schengen zone as 25th country last December.

My son went over as an exchange student thru the ICYE (and I'm sure there are some other programs.) He worked in a local kindergarten and took a language class in a local community college for "gast arbeiters." You might contact the school you plan to attend and see what they suggest! Good luck - he had a great time and come home a LOT more mature than his peers!

You must have a student visa. There are probably restrictions on how much you can work there while you are on a student visa. Usually, you must be accepted by a University and have sufficient funds on hand to demonstrate that you can support yourself, to qualify for a student visa. This is how student visas work in the U.S....and most countries are similar. You can go to the website below to read the visa requirements for Germany.

How long could I stay in Germany with my US passport, or a VISA if necessary?

How long could I stay in Germany with my US passport, or a VISA if necessary?
I'm going to stay with my foreign exchange student in Germany next summer. He says that I could stay for up to 8 months with him if I want to. Now what I'm wondering is would I be able stay longer than 90 days in Germany with my US passport? Is there any other alternatives I could use to stay longer, i.e. visas, since I would be staying with a German citizen? If there is an alternative, how long would it enable to stay in Germany? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello: 3 months you can stay without any problems and papers (e.g. as a tourist). If you want to stay longer you only have to apply a "visum" at German embassy or you can even apply for that here in German. A student from USA has only to fill out 1 paper (Maybe it even possible to do that on the page of the embassy.) But you are the friend of that exchange student? I dont think there will be a problem if you will explain it like that to the German embassy! Germany is very open to citizen of other western countries!

You can stay without a visa for 3 months. For a longer stay you must get registered at the German place of residence and apply for a residence permit at the aliens authority / foreigner's office (Ausländerbehörde) in the German town / community in which you plan to reside. To get the residence permit you must show that you: • have a place to stay (this could be proven by a formal obligation by your host) http://www.udiregelverk.no/~/media/Images/Rettskilder/Visa%20Code/Visumhåndboken%20med%20vedlegg/handbook%20annex%2015/Germany.ashx .. • have sufficient financial resources to cover your stay without gainful activities • have a sickness insurance which covers your entire stay in Germany Those type of temporary residence permits (Aufenthaltstitel) are in general issued to those who plan to: • study in Germany and hold an acceptance letter and an enrollment certificate of a German university • work in Germany and hold a sponsored work permit applied for by a prospective employer • get married to or become civil partner of a German citizen • retire in Germany or have the assets to stay I have attached a sample request for a residence permit to the city of Munich. Please note that each German federal state may have different procedures and requirements. An application in Bavaria may be favourably considered whereas the same application in Hesse could be denied based on different state law. http://www.muenchen.de/cms/prod1/mde/_de/rubriken/Rathaus/50_kvr/ausland/pdf/antragaufenthaltstitel.pdf ..
