Since the beginning of 2017, every applicant must apply in person at the consulate. During the appointment, the fingerprints will be taken, which then remain valid for about 5 years. During this period the visa can be obtained via AVS without personal application.
Appointments are always possible on Monday and Tuesday mornings without registration.
You are welcome to submit the documents for a pre-check. On request we can accompany the applicant to the appointment. Or simply book our VIP / Transfer service here.
Once the visa has been issued, AVS can pick up the passport with the visa and send it back to you.
