may lead to refusal of entry at the border and prosecution.

Personal appearance required?
The documents have to be submitted directly at the Embassy or at one of the below mentioned receiving offices. Shipment by mail is not acceptable.
Since the Schengen Visa Information System VIS was introduced in November 2013 fingerprint scans are necessary for all
applicants. Thus personal appearance is inevitable.
Children below the age of 12 are exempted.
© EU-Kommission
Applicants who obtained a Schengen visa marked „VIS“ from
the German Embassy or a foreign mission of another
Schengen country during the last five years, are normally not
required to appear in person for their next application.
Please check the application form accordingly:
However, personal appearance will be necessary if the fingerprints previously saved in VIS
cannot be used for the new application. This may be due to technical problems or to inferior
quality of the scans.
Besides, the Embassy is free to request personal appearance if deemed to be necessary for
processing the application.
Applying at the Embassy in Jakarta
