It is recommended that you take out a holiday health insurance policy for the duration of your stay, even if you are insured abroad under your statutory health insurance system.

Appointment for visa application

To apply for a visa you need to have an appointment (online booking).  Applicants without an appointment will not be entertained. There will not be any exceptions and respective requests via email or phone call will be of no avail! Please note that each applicant has to book the appointment individually, e.g. a family of four members has to book four appointments. Groups with more than 10 applicants should contact the visa section before booking an appointment.

In order to expedite the application process you should check regularly for cancelled appointments. To re-schedule your appointment to a cancelled time slot please cancel your previous appointment and re-register for the available time. Please make sure that you only book your time slot when you are certain that you can come. Booked but not kept appointments will lead to unnecessary delays for other applicants.

8:30am -  9:00am: Express visa collection
9:00am - 11:00am: Regular visa collection (Please allow some time as you will have to wait to be called to counter 2 to collect your visa)
