The Chinese Embassy has announced that from August 9, 2023 to December 31, 2023 inclusive, fingerprint collection for single and double-entry visas will be waived for the following categories:
The UK is introducing an electronic travel authorization. This will become mandatory as of November 2023. There is to be an exemption for EU citizens up to and including February 2024. DVKG will provide a simple application process timely in advance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the DVKG consular consultants.
The high demand, especially for Schengen Visas, is currently leading to longer waiting and processing times at the German consulate than usual.
