How long does it take to get a visa for Germany? And is it hard?

Question

I would like to know how long it will take to get a visa for Germany. I plan to visit my boyfriend there, but I don't know how long it will take for the German Embassy to process a visa application.

I am a US green card holder, not a citizen. And I am still an undergraduate student. Is it going to be hard for me to get the visa?

thanks.

Answer 1

It really depends, which is your nationality.

Many countries won't need visa, but some do. Without knowing your nationality it really is not possible to answer your question.

Usually a tourist visa for Germany should take about 1 week to get, not longer.

Answer 2

Im not sure how hard it will be for you to get a visa.  Is it necessary for you to get a visa?  Are you just going for a visit for less than 30 days, then you only need a passport.  Visa's are for extended stays and if you are working or going to school.  Check into it.  Passports are easier.  Get in contact with the embasy.  Viel Gluck!

Answer 3

There is no need for a visa for stays up to 90 days. Passport is enough. Any longer and a work visa and /or residency permit will take 4 to 6 week and is very hard! Search on this site for any other visa questions. It's a life saver!
