Travel volume continues to increase - apply for a visa early
15/11/2022 12:30

Due to the further increase in travel volume, the DVKG would like to once again recommend that its customers apply for the required visas in good time when booking their trip - we recommend applying four weeks before departure, as the volume at the consulates and the processing time are also increasing accordingly.

An early application saves costs on the one hand, as there are no surcharges for particularly urgent processing and, on the other hand, guarantees the greatest possible certainty of receiving the visa applied for in good time before the start of the trip.

Of course, we are also still available for last-minute and urgent bookings.
