Frequently Asked Question
In the area around the embassy there are so-called visa agencies that advertise guaranteed success for visa applications. Is this reputable?
Last Updated 15 days ago
Absolutely not!
Applying for a visa is free of charge, with the exception of the visa fee, which is charged directly at the visa counter inside the embassy building.
No embassy works with agencies. Not even with the so-called service offices located directly next to the embassy.
Claims by people or service offices that they work with the embassy are false.
The chances of success of a visa application cannot be influenced by anyone, as the embassy staff alone decides on the applications.
If you are promised something else, you have been lied to.
Under no circumstances should you pay any money to such organizations!
