What should you do in case you need to stay longer in Germany?

You may need to extend your stay in Germany for a variety of reasons. If you want to spend more than 90 days in Germany and your home country requires a Schengen visa, you must first get a national visa (type D visa). You can enter Germany on a national visa if you agree to apply for a residence permit (nationales Visum).
