Student visa
My son has recently received the one-year student visa category D on the basis of conditional university offer/language school and traveling to Berlin end of January 2025. Now he has also received the confirmed admission letter for another university HAW Hamburg university for the same subject (BSc. Mechanical engineering) starting April 2025. Kindly advise if he can travel to Germany on the earlier issued visa and can complete all visa formalities for new university admission in Germany?

Hello @Muhammad Sadiq
Thank you for your question on our community forum.
It's great that your son has already received two offers from universities!
Please check what is written on the visa. Does the visa he received state the name of the university?
In general, the purpose of the visa "full-time study" is fulfilled in both ways. So the purpose of the visa is valid and it is possible to enter Germany with this visa.
You must consider that your son will need to support himself during the months that he is in Germany without studying (e.g. from January to April).
Here you can check again what is required to get a residence permit for studying in Hamburg:
