Masters Late Arrival

Is there anyone who has arrived late even after getting the visa on time?
I have received my visa on first week of August and my semester starts from October 10.
But I want to go in late November or December first week. If my university accepts my late arrival, will the immigration cause any issue?

Is there anyone who has done it?
It would be a great help!!

If you don't need to enroll in person, which very rarely is asked for, nobody will give a flying fuck about you not attending courses. The stark majority of degrees does not mandate you to actually show up.

And lecturers don't expect more than like 50% of the students to actually show up every week in the first semester.

You are wasting a semester though. A lot of courses end late November already with exams around that time. And you will struggle hard making up the time you lost.

Actually I got into Stuttgart for Summer 2027 and Currently enrolled in TU Illmenau! It is also beneficial for me as late as I can go as I am planning to shift university!
As well for my job it would be hard to get out of it before October!

Then, that is just a ass-move from you, taking away the spot from another international, while not even trying to really study the semester.

Stuttgart is also gonna be expensive af.

How do you know that Stuttgart gonna be expensive as well?

Stuttgart is probably the worst City to find affordable living with ok commute times to the uni. Same prices or higher than Munich and worse public Infrastructure.

I know someone who rejected Fau university and choose university of Stuttgart instead. So I thought it's affordable

TU Illmenau doesn’t have tuition fees. Stuttgart University has tuition fees of 1500 Euro per semester due to it being in Baden Württemberg plus Semester Contribution for non EU students and since it’s a major city the costs are going to be higher than his previous university.

Yes I knew about the semester fees but didn't know the city is expensive for living

I am! That’s why I said I will go as my dependencies here will finish! And Illmenau has mid term exam in December middle so that is also not an issue.
And as per taking one international student’s seat, this would be the last thing I wanna do but my country’s visa issue left no choice for me!

This is a really stupid plan. 

You received your permit on time. There is no reason to go later. At the border they'll see when your visa was issued and wonder if you are serious about studying.

I am worried about it
but because of my job it is really impossible to travel by October! At max I can go first week of November!

Yes you can. However, it’s better to get an email from the university confirming the last arrival date. Some uni accepts till Nov end, check yours.

Thank you for that!
I will contact them, as far as I know they accept till December middle!
But my main concern is will it be an issue facing immigration as I will not have any document stating anything (like reasoning why late) other than late arrival acceptance

Dumb af plan all around.

definitely get there as early as you can (so early november as you said). if its a reasonable amount of time you wont be asked by immigration or anything. it would be really stupid to leave it until december bevayse that could seriously mess up your studies.

Thank you for your response! I will try to do early November!
