For admission into bachelors programs in Germany, often third world nationals have to first attend a prep course. One can only enter this prep course through clearance of an exam. Typically one applies for a student applicant visa to write the exam.
One of my friend applied for the student visa and didn't get it in time. Hence, they applied also for a tourist visa, wrote the exam and are one month into the course.
The question is, can she turn the tourist visa into a study one or must she go back and reapply?
