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

🔍 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.
