Frequently Asked Questions

ŞAK Almanya is a brand offering online guidance and orientation on education in Germany, university applications, the visa process, German preparation and the overall route to Germany. The aim is to make the process clearer through documents, calendars and a realistic plan rather than through inflated promises.

No. ŞAK Almanya is not an authority, a consulate, a university, a visa centre or a law firm. It offers information about the process, help preparing documents and orientation in planning an application; the final decision rests with the relevant university, institution or authority.

ŞAK Almanya was set up in 2026 around a model of online guidance and orientation. The brand aims to turn the experience of someone who has walked the route to Germany into more organised and understandable support.

ŞAK Almanya was founded by Ş. Anday Kahveci. Also known as Anday Sahin Kahveci, the founder went through the university, application, visa and settling-in processes in Germany personally as a student in Dresden, and passes that experience on to applicants in practical form.

Yes, the working model is built entirely on online guidance and orientation. Conversations and follow-up run through digital channels, which makes it possible to take part from Turkey or from Germany.

Support covers education guidance for Germany, university and Hochschule applications, Ausbildung research, a plan for German lessons, conditional admission, document preparation and student visa preparation. The exact scope is set by your goal, your current level of German and the state of your documents.

The main language of guidance is Turkish. Where needed, I also help with reading German and English sources, understanding application texts and basic orientation.

Choosing a city or university should not rest on popularity alone. Programme content, language requirements, cost of living, the character of the city, the application calendar and your personal goal all belong in the same assessment.

Yes. For applicants moving from Turkey to a university or Hochschule in Germany, we work through the shortlist, the application calendar, the document list, language requirements, the CV and the motivation letter together. There are more details on the university applications in Germany page.

For programmes that use uni-assist, I help you understand the logic of the process, how to organise document uploads, how to track dates and what the steps are. Whether an application is accepted is decided by uni-assist, the university or the relevant institution.

A YKS result can matter for some applicants' eligibility, but this depends on the target programme, the type of qualification and the year of application. The most reliable assessment looks at the educational background and the programme's requirements together.

Most German-taught programmes require a specific level; on preparatory or conditional routes the requirement can look different. Whether B1, B2 or C1 is needed depends on the university, the programme and the type of application. For a language plan, see the German lessons page.

Yes, visa preparation covers orientation on the order of the file, the checklist, preparing before the appointment and the general logic of the process. This is not legal advice; the visa decision rests with the consulate or the relevant authority.

No. ŞAK Almanya does not and cannot guarantee a visa. Visa decisions are made solely by the relevant authorities, based on the applicant's file and the rules in force.

Yes, orientation is possible on the general logic of these topics, the points to watch and how to plan the documents. But no financial products are sold, no insurance is brokered and no accommodation is guaranteed; you need to check the current official sources yourself.

Usually it comes down to address registration, banking, health insurance, enrolment, the residence process and basic arrangements in the city. These steps vary by city, status and type of admission, so they should be sequenced against a personal plan.

First we establish your goal, your current level of German, the state of your documents and your timeline. Then we identify which topics you actually need and turn the application, language and document work into a more organised calendar.

Yes, a single session is possible. It works well for understanding where you currently stand, clarifying the options and roughly planning the next steps.

No. ŞAK Almanya is currently in a non-commercial pilot and preparation phase. No payments are accepted and no paid service contracts are made.

During the pilot phase, general orientation is possible on your goal, your current level of German and the state of your documents. The scope is limited to trial, informational support.

No. ŞAK Almanya does not provide legal advice and does not operate as a law firm. On legal matters such as visas, residence or formal appeals, the relevant authorities or qualified specialists are what count.

No. ŞAK Almanya does not act on behalf of any university, consulate, visa centre or official body. What is offered is information and planning support; application and decision processes belong to the institutions involved.

Names, dates, translations, format, currency and any special requirements of the institution all deserve careful checking. The CV, motivation letter and language certificates should match the goal of the application. An incomplete or disorganised file makes the process harder.

Yes. On WhatsApp you can write your goal, your current level of German, your educational background and what you would like support with. A short, clear first message helps get to the heart of it faster.

It suits anyone who wants a more organised understanding of university, Hochschule, Ausbildung, German preparation or the student visa process in Germany. It is a particularly practical starting point for students and families who feel lost between documents, deadlines and application options.
