Due to the current situation and the global spread of the SARS-CoV2-virus we herewith announce that access to the German Embassy for the general public for all consular, visa and passport related issues (including passport pick-up) is currently only possible by appointment.

Exemptions can only be made in an acute consular emergency situation.

Please contact the Embassy via email at info@vientiane.diplo.de or by telephone on +856 – 21 – 312 110 (Tue, Wed, Fri 7.30 am until 1.30 pm, Mon, Thu 7.30 am until 4.30 pm) to arrange an appointment.

Due to the existing travel restrictions for all non-essential travels from third countries to Germany our visa application center at VFS Global is closed until further notice. Travelers that are exempted from the travel restrictions can submit their visa application directly at the Embassy but by appointment only. Further information on the travel restrictions can be found here: https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/faqs/EN/topics/civil-protection/coronavirus/coronavirus-faqs.html

We thank you for your understanding in this exceptional crisis situation.
