Germany Visa
If you plan to travel to Germany, you will need a Schengen visa, as Germany is part of the Schengen area. The specific type of visa required depends on the purpose of your visit. For instance, a Schengen tourist visa permits stays of up to 90 days within a 180-day period in Germany or any other Schengen member country.
Documents Required For A German Visa
- Passport (must be valid for at least 3 months after the end of the planned stay)
- Passport sized photography not older than 6 months (3.5cm x 4.5cm)
- Visa application form completed
- Confirmed reservation of flight tickets
- Detailed itinerary (if the applicant plans to visit several countries)
- Proof of accommodation (for example hotel reservations for the entire duration of stay in the Schengen countries)
- If employed: employment proof (work certificate, monthly salary, position in the company etc)
- Proof of sufficient funds (original bank statements with stamps)
- Travel and health insurance (minimum coverage of Euro 30,000)
- A sponsoring letter (if applicable)
If the trip is sponsored, the applicant must submit a sponsorship letter. The sponsor is also required to provide supporting documents, including a copy of their passport and bank statements from the past three months, showing account activity.
For foreign applicants residing in Thailand, it is necessary to provide both the original and a copy of their work permit (if applicable), as well as a valid re-entry permit from Thai immigration, covering the return from the Schengen area.
Processing Time
The usual processing time is between 4 days and 15 days for tourism purposes (visiting family, tourist visits etc). However, it can happen that the processing time can take up to 45 days, for example during high season.
Visa Fees
The visa fee shall be waived if the applicant belongs to a specific category. For example, the spouse of a German citizen will have their visa fee waived.
