If you are intending to move to Germany, please use the Consular Service Portal to apply for your visa.

The types of visas you can apply for online include visas for the purpose of family reunion, most employment visas and the Opportunity Card, among others.
Once you submit your documents, we will inform you whether these are complete. This will make your in-person appointment at the German mission quick and efficient: You will present your original documents, provide your biometric data (fingerprints and photo) and pay the application fee.

For some visa categories, submitting an online application is not possible yet. If you would like to apply for a visa for the following categories, you still have to submit the application in person at the embassy:

• ICT-Card
  
• Research
  
• Au pair

Please find further information about the application requirements here.
