Foreign College Student Program

For international students attending college or university in the United States, reliable transportation is a must. The Foreign College Student Program helps eligible students finance or lease a new Volkswagen, even without established U.S. credit.

Volkswagen Credit considers key factors such as your student visa, proof of enrollment, and financial support or income to evaluate eligibility. This approach ensures that international students have access to the same modern, dependable vehicles as domestic buyers.

Whether you choose a compact Jetta for efficient city driving or a Tiguan for versatile campus-to-weekend travel, Volkswagen’s engineering and safety technology help make every journey more enjoyable.

To get started, explore the program page for details on necessary documentation and approval steps. The finance team at Jim Ellis Volkswagen of Kennesaw is experienced in working with international students and can guide you through the process from start to finish.

Foreign Business Professional Program

If you’re a foreign business professional working in the United States, the Foreign Business Professional Program offers tailored options for leasing or purchasing a Volkswagen.

This program is available to individuals on qualifying U.S. work visas who may not yet have a domestic credit history. It provides access to incentivized rates and enhanced credit tier consideration through Volkswagen Financial Services.

Eligibility requirements include:

  • Employment by a verified U.S. company (self-employed individuals do not qualify). 
  • Holding a valid work visa (Types A, E, G, and NATO are excluded). 
  • Earning a minimum verifiable gross income of $45,000 per year. 
  • Financing new, near-new, or Certified Pre-Owned Volkswagen vehicles. 

Applicants must provide documentation such as an employment letter, visa copy, U.S. Social Security card, and two personal references. Please note that this is not a same-day approval process, as verification is required.

Our finance team is here to ensure you understand each step, from eligibility to approval, and help you find the Volkswagen that fits your needs — whether it’s the spacious Atlas, the refined Passat, or the fully electric ID.4.
