Required Suggestion for filling German student Visa Application

Upvote:1

If you know the answer to a question, then answer it.
If you do not know the answer, leave it blank.

In this case, you know the answer, so answer it.

Since it is possible that a childs surname is different than their fathers surname, the question is (for them) relevent.

Whether it makes sense or not is irrelevant

if not, they may refuse you the visa.

Based on the student visa application found here (german and english)

At the end of the form it is stated: that the form must be completed to the best of their knowledge and belief

Any

information can lead to refusal of a visa or if found out later expulsion.

In such matters it is wise (in my opinion) to always keep the old saying in mind:
