Is the number of visas in Germany higher or lower now?

Fortunately, the numbers changed and only 2 and a half thousand requests were rejected out of 2 and a half million!

What is the percentage of foreign tourists that had their visas accepted?

Almost 80% of the applicants who applied, got their German Visa. There were around 2 and a half million applicants, therefore 241 thousand applications were rejected. Even though they were rejected, with the right documents they would have had their Visas issued as well!

What is a blocked account?

Of course, there are various forms of blocked accounts. In this section we provide information about the blocked account you probably need if you want to study in Germany and if your home country does not belong to the European Union or the “Schengen states”. Among others, this applies to:

• • Turkey
  • China
  • India

• Russia
• Ukraine
• Cameroon
• Vietnam
• South Corea
• Morocco

In these and many other countries you need to prove your ability to support yourself during your stay in Germany when applying for a visa. The most common method to fulfill this requirement is opening a German blocked account. Please contact the responsible embassy or consulate general if you want to find out whether you need a blocked account for your visa.

What should you do in case you need treatment at the hospital?

During the admission, please present your insurance card and the Ärzte-Info-Ticket (medical info card) which you received with your insurance certificate. Hospitals usually contact us after the admission and the billing will be settled directly with the hospital. The policy covers emergency treatment and urgent operations within compulsory health insurance without optional services. If such inpatient treatment is not an emergency treatment, we recommend arranging the details of the planned therapy beforehand with our claims department. This way, we can help you to minimize any financial risk.

What is the 3-D secure procedure?

If you pay by credit card, we use the 3-D Secure procedure. It provides additional security for your credit card transactions and reduces the risk of fraud due to card misuse. You first enter your credit card number. A connection will then be established with the card issuer so that you can confirm your identity, for example by entering a code. If the authentication was successful, the credit card payment is executed. The 3-D Secure procedure should not be confused with your credit card’s check number (CVC). In order to use the 3-D Secure procedure, you must register with your bank/credit company, which usually takes a few days.

What will be insured by your company of choice?

We insure what you love. We do not only care about your health insurance, we also have your baggage at heart. If you take your laptop or your expensive mobile phone on vacation, baggage insurance is highly recommended. The following rule of thumb applies: The more valuable your baggage, the higher the importance of baggage insurance. Pure baggage insurance is relatively expensive. If you choose one of the additional insurances, you will not only get baggage insurance, but also liability, accident and assistance insurance at a low price.
