The German Mission in Nigeria has cautioned applicants against paying agents to secure visa appointments or emailing documents to the consulate, stressing that official booking channels are free and must be used.
In a statement issued on Wednesday via its X handle, the mission said it was responding to confusion over the correct procedures for starting German visa applications. It urged Nigerians to first identify the right visa category and confirm whether the mission in Lagos or Abuja handles their case.
Applicants should book through the official online appointment or registration system, or the online visa portal where required for their category, the mission said. They must then follow the instructions given for their appointment, prepare the required documents and appear in person to submit their applications.
The mission explicitly warned against paying agents to obtain appointments. “Applicants do not need to pay an agent to book a visa appointment,” it stated, noting that the official process carries no charge. It also clarified that sending documents by email is not an accepted method for booking appointments or submitting applications.
The German Mission advised those seeking visas to rely solely on the official procedures and guidance published on its website.
