Please read the following instructions completely in order to avoid that your visa application will be delayed for formal reasons.

The following web-based application form is only valid for applications for Schengen visas for stays of up to 90 days.

After following the link below, you will be prompted to choose a language version for the web-based visa application.

Please note that the German Embassy and the Consulate General only accepts visa applications in German or English language. No other language versions and no manually corrected forms will be processed.

Next you can choose the icon for „new application“ or upload personal data saved on your computer earlier into a blank form.

Please fill in the application form completely and thoroughly.
Kindly note that the application form is used worldwide and therefore cannot be adapted to certain countries´specific needs.

When you have finished to fill in the form, click „save and print“ directly from the form (do not use your browser application´s print option!’).

Now you will find different options for processing the application. By clicking the pdf-icon, the application form will be checked for consistency and missing mandatory information. As long as information is missing or not correctly entered, you will be prompted and returned to the form.
Once the application form is correctly filled in, the file may be opened or saved (recommended) on your computer.

When the print menu opens, please choose „advanced“ and then enable the field „print as picture“ in the Advanced Print Setup tab.


This will ensure that a correctly sized and readable barcode will be generated for further processing your application by the German Embassy and the Consulate General.
You will have to present the printed application form with barcode together with all supporting documents when you appear at the Embassy's or the Consulate's visa counter.
