If there is a similarity between the passport photos and a passport older than three months, the visa application will be rejected. Please attach a current passport photo to your documents or upload a selfie according to biometric specifications in your order and use the 'Digital Passport Photo Service'.

Good day,
In the future, a Chinese visa application will be created via the portal of the Chinese consular provider (China Visa Application Service Center):https://www.visaforchina.org. The completed visa application is signed by the traveler and submitted to the Chinese consular provider with all documents as before.
There is a transitional period until the beginning of May 2019 during which visa applications will be accepted without being entered into the China Consular Provider portal.With Deutsche Visa und Konsular Gesellschaft, you can continue to submit your visa application for China in the usual way. You benefit from all the advantages of the electronic visa application as well as the storage of visa-relevant information in a data protection-safe environment. Take advantage of the many benefits offered by Deutsche Visa und Konsular Gesellschaft, such as the automatic selection of the correct submission location, the visa expiry reminder service and the digital passport photo service.

Good day,
The process of applying for and obtaining A1 decisions is a time-consuming one for the people involved, the government and the authorities. Those affected and associations have made representations to the EU and succeeded in reaching an agreement between the EU Parliament, the EU heads of government and the EU Commission that the costs should be reduced.
This has led to headlines that give the impression that an A1 certificate is no longer necessary.
This is not the case. Registration is an intention and an obligation to provide services within the EU/EFTA countries;to look for another way of documenting and testing the social security status of services within the EU/EFTA states. to be tested. Details are not yet known. This does not affect the obligation to document social security status when traveling to third countries with which Germany has concluded a social security agreement.
