National visa application (Nationaler Visumsantrag)
The official application form used for a German long-stay national visa.
What it means in plain English
National visa application. The official application form used for a German long-stay national visa.
Common confusion
This usually refers to the application form and process for a national visa, not the visa decision itself. Submitting the Visumsantrag starts the procedure, but it does not mean the visa has been granted yet.
