Consular services provided by the Consular section are related to the following matters:

• German nationality;
• Civil status (marriage, birth, etc.);
• Passports and identity cards;
• Certificates and apostille;
• Visas;
• Issuance of criminal records.

Entry visa to Germany is required for Turkish nationals.

The mission must ensure that the following requirements have been met in each individual case:

• The purpose of the trip to Germany must be plausible and comprehensible.
• The applicant must be in a position to finance his/her living and travel costs from his/her own funds or income.
• The visa holder must be prepared to leave the Schengen area before the visa expires.
• Documentary evidence must be provided of travel health insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 euros valid for the entire Schengen area.

Should an applicant be unable to prove that he/she can finance the journey and stay from his/her own funds, a third person may undertake to cover all costs associated with the trip in accordance with sections 66 and 68 of the Residence Act. This undertaking is normally to be made to the foreigners authority in the place of residence of the person making the undertaking.

Persons whose entry into the Schengen area would jeopardise security or public order in the Schengen states or who do not fulfil one or more of the above‑mentioned requirements, cannot be granted a visa.

As a rule, missions require between two and ten working days to decide on an application for a short stay visa. Applications for visas entitling the holder to a longer stay or to take up gainful employment may take several months to process.
