Important for visa applications (spouse reunification)
For spouse and family reunification visas to Germany (§30 AufenthG), an official A1 certificate is required in most cases — from TELC or the Goethe-Institut. The LanguagePrep mock test prepares you thoroughly for this exam, but is not an official certificate. Obtain the official certificate at an accredited test centre in your country.
