🧭 What are the Types of Germany Visa?

Visa types vary depending on the duration and purpose of travel to Germany:


1. Short-Term Visa (Type C - Schengen Visa)

It allows a maximum stay of 90 days within a 180-day period. Applications can be made for the following purposes:

  • Tourist trip

  • Visiting family, relatives or friends

  • Participation in a business meeting or fair

  • Participation in cultural, sporting events or conferences

  • Education or internship (not exceeding 90 days)

  • Transit


2. Long-Term Visa (Type D - National Visa)

If you plan to stay in Germany for more than 90 days, you should apply for this visa:

  • Family reunification

  • Learning German

  • Work visa

  • Academic education

  • Erasmus or internship programs

  • Social service or research projects


VISAPOL experts will assist you in determining the most appropriate visa type for your travel purpose and in the complete preparation of your application.


📑 Required Documents for Germany Visa Application

Although it varies depending on the visa type, the basic documents that must be submitted for most applications are:

  • Valid passport (valid for at least 3 months after travel)

  • 1 biometric photo (35x45 mm, white background)

  • Visa application form (recommended to be filled out by VISAPOL experts)

  • Flight & accommodation reservation documents

  • Fully certified civil registration copy

  • Certificate of residence (residence)

  • Bank statements (last 3 months)

🔍 Fingerprint and Biometric Information

Fingerprinting is mandatory for first-time travelers to the Schengen area. If you've previously obtained a Schengen visa after 2015, you can skip this step. However, re-enrollment in biometrics may be required in situations such as passport changes or surname changes following marriage or divorce.


⌛ How Many Days Does It Take to Get a Germany Visa?

Average processing time:

  • Short-term visas: 7–15 business days

  • Long-term visas: Can be finalized within 15–30 business days


Public holidays, additional document requests, or consulate congestion may delay the process. Therefore, it is recommended that you start your application at least four weeks before your trip .


❌ Germany Visa Rejection

A visa may be rejected based on the evaluation of the German Consulate. The most common reasons are:

  • Submission of missing documents

  • Fake documents

  • Lack of clarity of travel purpose

  • Insufficient financial resources


In the event of a visa rejection, it's possible to analyze and restructure your application. VISAPOL will evaluate the reasons for the rejection and help you restart the process in the most appropriate manner.
