Germany Visa
.jpg?version=26)
The Schengen visa is a joint system that grants entry to 26 European countries, including Germany, France, Italy and Spain, with a single visa. Within every 180-day period the visa allows a stay of up to 90 days, and—when issued as a multiple-entry visa—it can be valid for 1, 2 or 5 years.
The logic is simple: you apply to the consulate of the country where you will stay the longest or, if stays are equal, the one you will enter first. For example, if you will spend 5 days in Paris and 10 days in Rome, the application goes to Italy; if plans are equal, the first-entry country is decisive. All documents must be scanned and printed before the appointment date.
During assessment the consulate focuses on three areas: (1) Financial sufficiency – account balance and income proofs; (2) Travel purpose – cover letter, invitation, hotel & flight bookings; (3) Ties to return – your job, student certificate, property deeds, etc. When these three areas are consistent, most applications are decided in about 15 days.

Why Are the Documents Important and How Should You Prepare Them?
Common documents (required for everyone):
- A passport with at least two blank pages (valid for 3 months after the trip).
- One biometric photo, 35 × 45 mm, white background, taken within the last 10 years.
- Travel medical insurance covering €30,000 for the entire trip.
- Print-outs of return flight booking and confirmed hotel reservation.
- A Schengen visa cover letter explaining purpose, travel dates and who will bear the costs.
Additional documents vary according to your status:
- Employee: Social-security record, payslips, employer letter, certificate of activity, tax plate, trade registry and signature circular.
- Employer: Company bank statements plus the above company papers and (optionally) a “no tax liability” certificate.
- Pensioner / Homemaker: Pension certificate or sponsor documents, personal bank statement with balance, copies of deeds and registrations.
- Student: Current student certificate; if under 18, a notarised parental consent; sponsor’s financial papers.
Why so many papers? The consulate wants documentary proof that you can cover your expenses and will return home. A single missing sheet can shelve the application. Therefore the bank statement must be stamped and wet-ink signed, and e-Government PDFs must be uploaded in readable quality.
Tips to Increase Your Approval Chances
- Appointment timing: Apply at least six weeks before the trip to eliminate delay risk. Summer slots fill up quickly.
- Letter language: Employees and employers should write on company letterhead in English (or the application language), clearly stating dates, job title and who pays the costs.
- Financial sufficiency: Show a balance of €50-70 per day in an active account plus the full flight + hotel amount. Dormant accounts may raise suspicions.
- Copy quality: Cropped or blurry passport/ID copies can lead to refusal.
- e-Government documents: Download “Family Registration” and “Address History” PDFs selecting Purpose – Applicant; if you have a previous surname, add an extra document.
Remember: Submitting complete papers is not a guarantee of approval, but missing papers are the main reason for refusal. Professional consultancy can speed up the process by correctly classifying your documents.
