You are about to make an online appointment for applying for a Schengen visa (category C) at the German Consulate General Karachi.

You are only allowed to book an appointment in this category if your biometrics have been taken for a Schengen visa application during the last 59 months.

For this purpose you have to provide proof (e.g. previous Schengen visa or refusal letter).

If you fulfill this requirement, you do not have to come to the Consulate General in person. Instead you can give power of attorney to a Third person for handing in your documents at the Consulate General. The third person has to present the power of attorney signed by you to the visa section. IMPORTANT: The appointment has to be in the name of the applicant and not of the authorized person.

Should it for any reason not be possible to take the fingerprints from the previous application, the applicant has to come to the Consulate General in person with his/her passport and the application documents so that his/her fingerprints can be taken. In exceptional cases a personal interview with the applicant might be required. In that case the applicant will be notified separately by the visa section.

Before booking an appointment online

• please first read the German      Mission's      "Important Note to our      Visitors" and "Visa: General           Information"
• please be sure for what kind of      visa you want to      apply :
• Short term /       Schengen visa
• Long term / national visa (stays       exceeding 90       days)

Booking an appointment can be done fast and conveniently by yourself. This service is offered free of any charge. If desired, an appointment can also be booked by a trusted third party (e.g. the person inviting you or your business partner in Germany etc.).

The Consulate General Karachi is exclusively responsible for applicants with residence in Sindh and Balochistan. Applicants living in other regions of Pakistan need to book their appointment using the Islamabad Embassy’s appointment system (https://service2.diplo.de/rktermin/extern/choose_realmList.do?locationCode=isla&realmId=108). Applicants living in Afghanistan must book the appointment via the website of the German Embassy in Kabul (https://afghanistan.diplo.de/af-de).

Please remember that you cannot use your appointment for a different visa category. If you wish to apply for a different visa category than a Schengen visa, your appointment will be forfeit.

SCHENGEN VISAS

Pakistani citizens have to obtain a visa before entering the so-called "Schengen states". Schengen visas are short-term visas for stays up to 90 days within a period of 180 days.

Please note that although visas issued by one of the above mentioned Schengen member states are valid for all other Schengen states, you need to apply at the embassy or consulate of the country which is your main destination. The main destination is the country of your longest stay. If your main destination cannot be clearly determined, the country of your first entry to the Schengen states will be competent to handle your application.

Further information on Schengen Visa applications can be found on our website at www.pakistan.diplo.de/visa

Kindly also note the information on pandemic-related entry restrictions: https://pakistan.diplo.de/pk-en/coronavirus/2317268

Please note that you can see vacant appointment dates in the calender view, where you can select and book the desired appointment (either the earliest one or at a later time/date of your own choice). You have to choose a date and a timeframe (e.g. from 09:00 to 09:30 am). It is not possible to get earlier appointments than shown online. Appointments can be booked up to 6 months before the intended travel date. Please cancel your visa appointment as soon as you know that you are not going to use it! No-shows will be monitored and if necessary registered.

Please appear at the Mission on time at the beginning of your timeframe (e.g. latest at 9:00 am for a timeframe from 9:00 to 09:30 am). Otherwise entry cannot be granted in order to avoid longer waiting times for the other customers.

Each applicant (including children) needs a separate appointment. Group bookings are not possible.

You have to enter your correct PASSPORT NUMBER (consisting of 2 letters and 7 digits in a Pakistani passport). Otherwise, entry will not be granted.

Bookings with wrong data (e.g. incorrect passport number) will be deleted.

Please also double-check that you enter your correct email address in the booking process. You need the email-confirmation in case you want to cancel you booking. If you do not state your correct email address and do not receive a confirmation, the next booking will only be possible after waiting for two weeks.

Please click „continue“ to proceed with your booking.
