Confused?

Why get an expert to help you?

Applying for a German visa is a complex process. You have to figure out, which type of residence permit you need. Then you must get all the necessary papers and forms. You have to make an appointment at the German embassy and the foreigners office in Germany, depending on whether you apply from Germany or from abroad. Beware of dubious online service providers that want to charge you for making an appointment at these places…

So why should you get an expert to help you with your German visa application?

1. Get individual support

3. Increase your chances of success
