§16d visa Germany for doctors - no Defizitbescheid yet

Question

Can I apply for a §16d visa Germany for doctors without a Defizitbescheid yet? My goal is recognition of my medical degree and Approbation Germany.

 · Accepted Answer

For §16d visa Germany, embassies usually want a clear recognition measure and written proof. Often this is a Defizitbescheid, sometimes course enrollment, plus financing and a timeline. Step-by-step:
1) Continue the recognition process until you get the written decision.
2) Prepare an embassy ready file: passport, German level, financing proof, accommodation plan, and your Approbation Germany roadmap.
3) If §16d is not possible yet, a language course visa can be a temporary option depending on the embassy and your case.
Keep everything documented in writing, because requirements vary.
