National visas typically have a validity of 3 months. In certain cases, they can be valid for up to 12 months. Only these longer-term national visas can be extended by the responsible immigration authority in Germany. A national visa must be applied for if a stay of more than 90 days is planned.
If a stay of 1 to a maximum of 90 days is planned, a Schengen visa must be applied for. This is usually issued exactly for the requested period. For certain individuals, "pseudo-multiannual visas" with a validity of up to 5 years can also be issued.
