Tel: '022 - 67866013' for all national callers
'0091 - 22 - 67866013' if calling from outside India
At the Visa Application Centre each applicant will be booked for an appointment for personal appearance at the German Embassy. Submission of the application at the Visa Application Centre and arranging the appointment may be done by the applicant in person, or any authorised third person.
For all information related to arranging an appointment, opening hours of the Visa Application Centre and the service charges involved, please contact the Application Centres directly.
Admission to the Visa Section of the German Embassy will only be granted at the time of the scheduled appointment. Arriving late will consequently result in re-scheduling of the appointment. Kindly note that there might be some waiting period after admission to the Visa Section, depending on the duration of the preceding interviews.
Direct submission
If an applicant prefers to submit his visa application directly to the German Embassy, the Visa Section needs to be contacted either on phone (0 - 11 - 44199143 for all national callers and 0091 - 11 - 44199143 if calling from outside India) between 1.30 pm – 4.30 pm Mondays through Thursdays or by sending us an e-mail.
There is no option to submit a visa application without prior appointment!
Appointments for direct submission are very limited and available only from Monday to Thursday.
First-time travellers have to come in person to submit their applications, whereas frequent travellers may submit their applications through an authorised person who carries a photo ID. Kindly note that when submitting an application directly, you have to ensure that it is complete in all respects. Incomplete applications will result in immediate refusal.
