Germany visa: frequently asked
What documents are on the Germany visa checklist?
The core items for a Germany visa are: Passport (valid 3+ months after return date, 2+ blank pages); Two passport photos (35x45 mm, 80% face coverage, white background); Schengen visa application form (filled & signed, we fill this for you); Travel insurance (min EUR 30,000 cover, all Schengen states, exact dates of travel, we arrange this); Return flight itinerary (we generate a dummy one); Hotel/accommodation bookings for entire stay (we generate a dummy one). Visank's system checks every document against the latest embassy requirements before submission.
What does Visank prepare for my Germany application?
Visank prepares the application form, a personalised cover letter, verifiable flight and hotel reservations, and travel insurance arrangement automatically. You provide personal documents such as your passport, photos and bank statements.
What should I carry on Germany appointment day?
Carry your passport, appointment confirmation, printed application and your supporting document file. Visank sends a final appointment-day list once your file is ready.
How early should I start the Germany checklist?
Start 4 to 8 weeks before travel where possible: bank statements need to cover recent months and appointment slots fill fast. Visank's automated checks flag anything missing the moment you upload.
