Where to apply for a German visa

Is a German visa hard to get? /Schengen visa, German tourist visa category

It is not difficult if you submit complete documents, have stable employment, good finances, obligations in Thailand that require your return, and a good travel history.

How many days in advance can I apply for a German visa? How early can I apply?

For a Schengen visa, German tourist visa category, you can apply no more than 180 days before your travel date (we recommend applying no less than 15 days before your trip). 

How many days does a German visa take? How long is the wait for the German visa result?

Waiting for a German visa result takes approximately 15 working days, but in some cases, it may take longer if there is a high volume of applicants. The peak seasons for Thai people traveling to Europe are April and October. If you plan to travel during these times, we recommend applying for your visa early, as the visa appointment slots can fill up quickly.

How much money do I need in my bank account for a German visa?

We recommend having a balance in the hundreds of thousands for greater confidence, but do not transfer a large lump sum into the account just before applying. We recommend a minimum of 100,000 THB per person + 5,000 THB per day of travel. For example, for a 14-day trip, you should have at least 170,000 THB to be more confident.
