The Consulate has changed the procedure for booking appointments for Schengen and long term visas (except opportunity card/Chancenkarte).

Appointments for opportunity card/Chancenkarte can still be booked directly through our appointment allocation systems.

Due to the constant high demand, it has been decided to set up a waiting list in order to efficiently adapt the appointment allocation to the capacities of our visa office. You will no longer be able to book an appointment directly, but you will first register your name on a waiting list and in a second step appointments will be allocated at a later date by the consulate in chronological order of registrations based on available capacity. To ensure that appointments are allocated fairly and smoothly, all applicants for above the mentioned categories are asked to register on the waiting list.

For this purpose, additional information is required to better understand your travel purpose. Therefore, please complete the waiting list registration carefully with the requested information. Only when the required data is entered correctly and completely an appointment will be allocated.

You do not need to use an agent to register on the waiting list! Registration on the waiting list is free of charge!
