Attention: Payment of the visa fee and the service fees do not give any guarantee or right that a visa will be granted.

* The visa fee, only collectable in ZAR, may change as a result of currency fluctuation.
The visa fee is fixed in EUR but payable only in ZAR. The exchange rate between these currencies is decided by the German Missions and is updated periodically, therefore the payable amount may differ from those quoted above. Please note that your visa application fee receipt will only quote the fee paid in ZAR.
The service fee, mandatory for any visa application, is ZAR 410.00 (24.51 EUR). This amount has been decided in agreement with the German Government and corresponds to the different services provided by the TLScontact centre (i.e. visa application reception, data processing, information collection, appointments booking, etc.).
