Embassy of Germany
This is my completely honest review of my experience with the German Embassy in London:
After reading other reviews, I was very anxious for what my experience could look like as a 19 year old applying for a national visa on the purpose of studying a German intensive course. However, I was pleasantly surprised.
The process was very lengthy in terms of applying but I did not expect anything else, the most stressful part of it is ensuring you bring all the necessary documents to your appointment.
When help/advice was needed from the Embassy, I was met with incredibly quick and mostly very useful answers and solutions. Using the contact form on their page ensures this. In most cases, I would advise to do this instead of calling their line.
The manner from all who work there is absolutely wonderful. When I attended my appointment, I spoke to a genuine and very helpful lady who answered any questions I had and even commended me on how much preparation I had put into the appointment. The staff there are polite and no issue is too big for them to manage.
To be honest, the only element I can fault in my opinion is some of the information and the way it’s written. I found it complicated to work my way around the website sometimes and especially in trying to work out which visa would be correct for me to apply for, since a German language visa is different to a study visa. It is quite overwhelming, but others may disagree!
After applying and being told my D-visa could take up to 3 months to be ready, I was also pleasantly surprised by the 1 month wait whilst it was processed and 2 day postal wait. I now have my visa and look forward to begin my time in Germany.
