Steps to obtain a Germany business visa

The application process for a Germany (Schengen) business visa is almost the same as for other German visas. The earliest you can apply for the visa is six months before the trip, and the latest is three weeks before the trip.

• Register and fill in the application form.
• Submit your application online or in person.
• If this is your first time travelling to a Schengen area, obtain the printed form and all mandatory documents.
• Book an interview appointment with the embassy.
• Attend the embassy at the set time for your interview.
• Receive your visa result from the embassy by courier or via the website.

Extending the Germany business visa

For people who have come to Europe with a German short-stay visa and do not want to leave the country after the end of their permitted 90-day stay, extending the Germany business visa is permitted in a few cases. However, remember that if you apply to extend your visa in Germany, despite the fact that the Schengen visa entitles you to travel to other countries, you will thereafter remain only within German territory.

• Passport
• Application form
• One photograph
• Proof of income
• Travel health insurance
• Documents showing your reasons for needing to extend the visa.

In general, the processing time for a visa extension application in Germany is up to one month. This gives you the opportunity to stay in Germany even if your visa expires while your application is being reviewed. Nevertheless, you must remain in Germany and, until you receive a response to your application, you will not be permitted to travel to other Schengen countries during this period. The fee for extending a German short-stay visa differs from the usual German visa fees. Depending on the reasons you gave in your application to extend your short-stay visa in Germany, you may or may not have to pay a fee.

Obtaining German citizenship through the Germany business visa

People holding a Germany business visa can extend their short-stay visa. Over a period of one year your business situation is carefully analysed; if you meet the necessary conditions and abide by German law, a further extension is possible for you, and after 5 years you can obtain German permanent residence.
