Please note that the German Consulate General in Mumbai introduced the pre-payment of the VFS service charge at the time of booking an appointment for Schengen visa.

In case you want to cancel your slot, VFS will only refund the fee in certain scenarios. To find out more about the VFS refund policy, click here

Regardless of the VFS service charge, VFS charges every applicant and only the Visa section will determine whether the application is free of cost or not. In some cases, the visa fee might be waived: more information here.

You will pay the visa fees at the end of the visa appointment.

Please note that the visa fee is not refundable, even if the visa is rejected.
