ArmInfo. From July 1, 2025, the German Embassy in Armenia will offer an improved application service via TLS Contact to all Armenian citizens who need a Schengen visa to travel to the Federal Republic of Germany. This was stated in a statement by the German Embassy in Armenia.
"From July 1, 2025, the procedure for personal presence at the German Embassy for an interview will be discontinued. Instead, you can submit your applications at a modern, accessible center. The center's staff will be happy to welcome you," the embassy noted.
The diplomatic mission then provided a summary of the most important information on this matter.
It is noted that TLS Contact is the only agency in Armenia that accepts applications for a visa to Germany under a special procedure. TLS Contact also accepts applications for a Schengen visa for travel to Sweden, Belgium or Luxembourg.
"The Embassy and TLS Contact do not cooperate with any travel agency in Armenia. TLS Contact is responsible for accepting applications and accompanying documents that it sends to the Embassy. The decision to issue a visa, as before, is made exclusively by the Embassy, guided by the pan-European rules, the Visa Code and the Visa Facilitation Agreement with Armenia. You will receive your passport back from TLS Contact," the German Embassy noted.
"If you are already on the Embassy's Schengen visa waiting list, you do not need to take any action, as TLS Contact will contact you.
These changes do not apply to national visas for long-term stays, such as for studying in Germany or for family reunification. Applications for national visas will continue to be accepted by the German Embassy," the German Embassy in Armenia further said.
More detailed information can be found on the websites of TLS Contact (https://visas-de.tlscontact.com/en- us) and the German Embassy (https://eriwan.diplo.de/am-hy/service/visa-informationen).
