Focusing on the situation in Germany, this study examines how the COVID-19 pandemic has impinged on the lives of international students in their host countries. The findings reveal that COVID-19 virus protection measures have aggravated the social isolation, emotional distress, and financial hardship of international students worldwide. Whilst lockdowns and campus closures continue, international students in Germany suffer from growing social isolation, loss of student jobs, fear related to a potential dropout from studies, and a likely loss of resident status. For international students from developing countries, concerns about financial insecurity and poor job prospects in Germany seem more pressing than health and safety concerns. Despite the numerous challenges faced by international students during the pandemic, a revival of previous inbound student mobility growth to Germany is possible, if perceptions of Germany as an attractive overseas study destination sustain. This will also depend on the quality of support international students in Germany receive during the pandemic.
