What are the strict bank statement and financial proof rules for Germany?
The German Embassy strictly mandates original personal bank statements of the last 6 months printed on format A4 paper, stamped and signed by the issuing bank branch on all pages. Passbook photocopies, unverified net-banking printouts, or non-A4 formats are strictly rejected.
Is personal appearance mandatory at the VFS Germany Visa Application Centre?
Yes, all applicants aged 12 and above must appear in person at their scheduled VFS Germany Appointment Centre for biometric enrollment (fingerprint scanning and digital photograph), unless biometric data was captured for a previous Schengen visa within the past 59 months.

Employed applicants must provide an employer NOC on company letterhead, last 3 to 6 months salary slips, and 6-month stamped salary account bank statement.
