Berlin Cracks Down on Student Visas

In Berlin, Germany, many international students were surprised to learn that their residence permits would not be renewed.

This happened even though they were doing well in school and had not broken any visa rules.

The reason given was related to how their courses were set up.

Some students were told to leave Germany very quickly, while others were allowed to continue their studies but had to do so from outside the country.

This came as a big shock to both the students and their parents, who had not expected this to happen.
