Required documents include valid passport, application form, biometric photos, travel insurance, flight confirmation, accommodation booking, bank statements (3 months), and employment letter. Business visitors need an invitation letter from their German host company.
What is Germany's visa approval rate?
Germany's visa approval rate is 87% for applicants (based on 2024 refusal data of 12.9%). With our professional document preparation, our clients achieve significantly higher success rates.
How should I organise my Germany visa documents?
The German consulate appreciates well-organised applications. Documents should be in chronological order, properly paginated, and follow their specific checklist. We ensure your application meets their exact requirements.
Can I apply for a business visa to Germany?
Yes, Germany welcomes business visitors. You'll need a formal invitation letter from the German company, proof of your company employment, and details of meetings or conferences you'll attend. The invitation letter must include the company's registration details and the purpose of your visit.
Where can I submit my Germany visa application?
Germany visa applications from the UK are primarily processed through VFS Global Visa Application Centres in London and Edinburgh. We can arrange your appointment and ensure all documents are ready for submission.
How much does a Germany Schengen visa cost?
The Germany Schengen visa fee is €90 (approximately £77) for adults and €45 for children aged 6-11, plus a VFS Global processing fee from £28. Our professional service fee starts from £99, which includes form completion, document review, and appointment booking.
Does Germany require an airport transit visa?
Germany requires an Airport Transit Visa (Type A) for nationals of approximately 20 countries—more than the standard Schengen list. This means some travellers who can transit through other Schengen airports without a visa will still need one for German airports. We can advise whether you need an airport transit visa based on your nationality.
