German Embassy Beijing appointment-scheduling for national visas
Please kindly submit your Schengen visa application for short-term stays up to 90 days at the visa application center of our service partner VFS.Global. Detailled information on the application procedure and how to book an appointment can be found on VFS website https://visa.vfsglobal.com/chn/zh/deu/
National visas for researchers/doctoral students (including family members traveling at the same time), for school visits and for certain types of university studies (without APS) for stays of more than 90 days can only be applied for via our service partner VFS.Global. Information on the application procedure and booking appointments can be found at https://visa.vfsglobal.com/chn/zh/deu/
All other national visas for stays of more than 90 days must be applied for in person at the embassy.
Appointment booking: Please book a separate appointment for each individual applicant. To successfully book an appointment, you will need a valid, active e-mail address and the applicant's passport.
To book an appointment or add your name to the appointment list, click on “CONTINUE” and select the correct visa category.
Certain visa applications for taking up employment (e.g. for the EU Blue Card, for skilled workers, for vocational training and for the opportunity card) can also be submitted online via the "Auslandsportal" https://digital.diplo.de/. Required evidence or supporting documents can be attached as pdf documents.
After a preliminary check by the visa office, an appointment for an interview can be booked directly via an invitaiton link by the Auslandsportal. A separate appointment booking via the embassy's booking system is not necessary. The appointment at the visa section is then usually only necessary for the comparison of original documents, the submission of biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and the payment of the fee.
