Processing Time

The regular processing time for a Schengen visa is 15 calendar days according to the Schengen Visa Code. The visa office of the German Embassy Dublin usually decides on complete applications within 15 calendar days of receipt at the visa office (not after submission to BLS International). However, in some cases, the processing time might be longer, for example, if your documents need to be checked more thoroughly or you are asked to submit additional documents. In addition, transport from BLS International to the Embassy and back may take a few days. Around public holidays (e.g., Easter, Christmas), there may be longer processing times. Please plan accordingly. We recommend that you apply at least three weeks before your intended travel dates. Schengen visa applications can be submitted up to six months before the start of the planned trip.

Disclaimer

The decision to approve or refuse a visa is entirely up to the German missions. Also note, German missions reserve the right to request missing and/or additional documents in the application process.
