🚌 Shuttle & Entry to Embassy
Arrive at least 1 hour early at the Diplomatic Shuttle Point (3rd Avenue, near Quaid-e-Azam University Road).
Bring your CNIC (or copy) and a printout of your appointment confirmation.
First, go to the counter and show your ID they’ll give you a token number.
At the second counter, give your token to get a shuttle ticket (Rs. 1500).
Wait at the shuttle stop there’s only one type of shuttle that drops passengers at multiple embassies.
The German Embassy stop is usually toward the end you may wait 15–20 minutes.
Stay alert or ask the driver to notify you when the German stop comes.
🏛 At the Embassy
Walk 1–2 minutes to the German Embassy gate.
Show your passport and appointment letter to the gate officer they’ll mark your entry.
You’ll be asked to wait then either directed to a standing counter or a cabin, depending on your case.
In my case, I was called into a cabin for a proper interview.
🗣 Visa Interview Experience
1. Officer verified documents and passport.
2. Collected visa fee.
3. Took fingerprints and thumb scans.
4. Conducted a detailed interview with 40–50+ questions.
Some sample questions:
Job title, duties, and technologies I’ll work with
How many interviews I gave, what questions were asked
How I got the job and who referred me
Company background and services
My salary, working hours, and accommodation plan
Health insurance details, planned travel date, and more
✅ Tip: Be confident and honest. No need to memorize. Answer calmly.
📮 Post-Interview: Passport Return Process
After the interview, the officer told me to go outside to a counter for passport return arrangements.
They attached a sticker for the post office, wrote down my phone number and address, and charged a Rs. 500 courier fee.
Once done, I returned the passport back to the visa officer inside. He mentioned, if they need any additional documents they will call or email.
✉ This means when your visa is processed, your passport will be sent to you by TCS or post office directly.
📦 After That – Waiting Period
If your passport is kept, it usually means your visa is under final processing. Expect a response in 4–6 weeks.
💡 Final Advice
Don’t carry electronics, watches, or USB.
Most people get their visa in 5–7 weeks if everything is in order.
