An important information stated on VFS Global(Germany) website tells that the Indian passports that have Passport number "perforated" on all pages of the passport will NOT be accepted for German VISA application processing. It also states that, effective from 19-February-2018 Indian passports with perforated/punched-through on all the pages(first to last page) will not be accepted for German visa processing at the German VISA application centre in Bangalore, Cochin, and Trivandrum. 

Which passport will be accepted?

The website also shows us this image(illustration) of a passport, which would be accepted at this time. 

passport, german visa



What should you do if you have a perforated passport?

The same link tells us that, for further clarification please do contact the local Government of India Passport office.

FREE EDUCATION IN GERMANY!!

By Admin
Yes!! You heard it right, doing Masters in Germany is mostly free of cost. It is not fully free of cost, but comparatively it is very less than doing Bachelors in most of the countries. As a student, you many have to pay around 300 euros per semester.   In the recent years, Germany has made its education, free of cost. You may ask, how does Germany manage to provide free education, it is very simple. In Germany the people agree to pay high taxes, which they get back as very good services from the government. And moreover, Germany has a lower percentage of students opting for college, contrary to countries like America or India. In fact, from long back, there had been no tuition fees in Germany, but there are still some universities collecting a small amount of fees as a process to speed up the process of completing the degree.  WHY GERMANY? To your surprise, there are other countries like Denmark, Finland, Sweden and some Northern European countries, who provide ...

How to get an admit in German university?

By Admin
A happy new year to all my readers, who are following and reading this blog. This is my first article of this year. I was off for quite a while and there have been a lot of enquiries and requests from many aspirants regarding how to get an admit? What are the proper steps or ways to follow. Let me give you an example and explain. Please do note that, there is no hard and fast rule that everyone needs to follow these steps and I do not guarantee anything. The below points are from my experience and observations. Let’s take an example of Raghu, who is currently at 5th semester of his Bachelor’s studies and he is aspiring to pursue his Masters from Germany. So, I would suggest him to first find out his niche and passion. Completing a Masters is a herculean task and there is no point for Raghu to pursue Masters in Artificial Intelligence, when he has a passion for Thermodynamics. First step for Raghu is to find his interest and then do other things. Also Raghu needs to start learning ‘...

Which country is better? Germany VS Singapore | Masters studies | MS course

By Admin
Germany VS Singapore Deciding a path to choose, when you have lot of options in hand is very difficult. When you are applying for Masters studies, there would be a lot of confusion in terms of which country to apply for and there was a question in Quora regarding Germany VS Singapore. Trust me, even I was in the same dilemma when I wanted to pursue my Masters course. Let me throw some light on the analysis that I had done, based on my experience in Germany(Masters studies) and my observations from my friends who are studying in Singapore. Climate:   Are you a person who likes Winters to be cold(around 0 degree Celsius)? Are you a person who likes to just have 2 months of Summer? If you’re from a tropical country, then there is high possibility that you will not like Germany’s climate, but on the other hand Singapore has similar tropical conditions, which makes it easier to adapt.  Winner:  Singapore Course duration:  Most of the courses...
