Visas for visitors
All visitors travelling on a South African passport need a Schengen visa. Since November 2009, the German consulates based in South Africa have implemented a new appointment system to eliminate applicants standing in queues. Please book your appointment 6-8 weeks in advance of your trip to avoid unnecessary stress and disappointment. Although a visa may currently take five working days, or longer, to process, you have to consider obtaining an appointment as well.
Please note that all Schengen visa applicants must appear in person in order to fulfill the latest biometric requirements. Appointments can be made online at www.visa-germany.co.za or TEL: 0861 00 22 45. The appointment incurs a fee as does the Schengen visa – please visit the website for the latest prices.
The following link will refer you to the web link of the German consulate closest to you: http://www.visa-germany.co.za. Once you have made your selection, refer to the visa section for the downloadable application form and information on all other requirements.
Besides your passport (must contain at least two empty pages), cash to pay for the visa and specific photographs, you will require the following documents if you are applying for a business visa. Don’t overlook these because you will be turned away:
• Document confirming employment situation
• Document reflecting the nature or purpose of the trip
• Documents confirming sufficient funds are available for the trip
• Flight-ticket
• Proof of accommodation
• International medical insurance
Important: Your trade show exhibitor stand confirmation or visitor entrance ticket, along with the proof of payment/invoice, serves as your invitation letter and these documents must be submitted along with all other documentation required by the consulate.
