Please note:
It is not necessary to use an "agent"/ a "consultancy" to apply for a visa.
No "visa agent" can
- Influence the outcome.
- speed up the processing time.
- guarantee you a visa.
The German Embassy Kathmandu has no relationship with "visa agents". They neither work for the German Embassy nor do they work with its approval.
There are no "registered visa agents" for Germany.
The agency service may be expensive for you, but has no added value for your case and in no way binds the German Embassy in its decision-making process. To save money, time and stress, the German Embassy in Kathmandu strongly recommends that you book your appointment through the Embassy's website.
Schengen Visa
Welcome to the appointment-system of the German Embassy in Kathmandu!
To apply for a visa for a stay below 90 days in the Schengen area you are required to make an appointment.
The online appointment-system enables the Embassy to provide an orderly and efficient service to its customers at all time.
You can find detailed information about the different types of visas and how to apply for them on our website www.kathmandu.diplo.de. Please visit our website and read the information carefully before making an appointment. On our website you will also find the necessary application forms. Please note that enquiries that are answered by the information provided on our website will not be replied to separately.
Incomplete applications cannot be admitted: the application will be returned without additional charges and a new appointment has to be arranged.
No multiple bookings are allowed! This means only one appointment per person and passport application. You will have to provide the number of your current passport during the booking process. Please understand that you will only be admitted into the Embassy's visa section if your passport number matches the information submitted in your reservation.
Please only book an appointment which you are actually able to keep. If you cannot keep an appointment that has already been booked you are kindly asked to cancel it online. This will help us to reduce long terms of waiting and leaves a gap for emergencies and applications of high urgency (cases as such usually involve illness or death of a close person). If you do not show up for your appointment without previous cancelation, the system does not allow rebooking during the next weeks!!! Please note that the improper use of the booking system will lead to the cancellation of the appointment and to the blacklisting of your email address. We strongly recommend to personally book appointments without making use of an external service provider. The booking of an appointment is free of charge.
Please note that the appointments offered on this system are the earliest appointments possible.
EACH traveller needs to book an INDIVIDUAL Appointment!
For short-term stays in Germany, please apply at least 14 days before your trip. If the time between your appointment and your planned trip is less, your visa might not be ready in time.
It is required that you show up to the appointment in person.
